Also, make sure you give your notice in writing and make sure the letter is dated, as it is proof that you attempted to give notice, but your employer terminated you prior to being able to do that.<br /><br />Obviously, make sure you check with your state's unemployment division first to confirm this, but I do believe it's accurate, at least in many statesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558939360732260529.post-25484400057627098262009-09-20T17:56:37.419-04:002009-09-20T17:56:37.419-04:00I was certain that my former boss was going to sho...I was certain that my former boss was going to show me the door the minute I gave her my resignation, in which I offered 2 weeks notice. She was always hot-headed and irrational in every situation. I had my bag packed under my desk with all my personal affects. But then... she begged me to stay for 2 weeks, not just 2, and I didn't get even one day between that job and the next (which was not what I was hoping for). I hope the OP has real evidence about the store's habits and not just a feeling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558939360732260529.post-66917383648791657162009-09-18T23:04:58.861-04:002009-09-18T23:04:58.861-04:00Would it be recommended to tell your next employer...Would it be recommended to tell your next employer when they ask a good start date, "I've going to give them two weeks, but they are probably going to ask me to leave that day, can we be flexible in the start date." Maybe give or take a week?KaLogainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913727395325887175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558939360732260529.post-17960380119808571702009-09-18T16:07:12.599-04:002009-09-18T16:07:12.599-04:00^^ Good point.^^ Good point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558939360732260529.post-85645110542486282802009-09-18T13:46:31.279-04:002009-09-18T13:46:31.279-04:00I once was working as an IT systems developer with...I once was working as an IT systems developer with a specialized technology and I knew I'd be very difficult to replace. Later I found my dream job, but which needed me to start on the first day of their next budget cycle, which was two months later. So I decided to do my supervisor a favor and give him seven weeks notice to make things easier for them.<br /><br />He showed me the door the very next day, even though I was in the middle of a number of projects that wouldn't be completed without me. He apologized, explaining that he realized it was an abuse of my courtesy and a foolish decision, but that it was made above his level. <br /><br />It was financially very inconvenient to have that much unexpected time off, since that next position didn't start for several weeks afterward. Live and learn. Give two weeks notice, but not more.Steve Foersterhttp://hiresteve.comnoreply@blogger.com
