I resigned from an extremely toxic work situation. Wrote a professional letter giving my 2 weeks notice being the "nice" one. Boss treated me like absolute crap those last 2 weeks. I did not realise it could get any worse than it already was. I screamed in my car on the way out that last day. Sometimes being nice does not mean a thing

It sucks that employers don’t give a shit about letting you go in the proper way, yet we have to be thoughtful and graceful in getting out. Geesch!

I GAVE THEM 3 WEEKS NOTICE and the President tried talking me out of it. He was so pissed off that I wouldn't stay. He told me that he was firing me and that day was my last day. No problem, the other company I had already accepted a job with just moved up my start date. FYI - I had told my old boss/president that his company would close within a year. He laughed at me. I was wrong, it was 10 months when the company closed for good. 🤣

You don’t have to find a job before quitting if the environment is causing you mental distress or you don’t feel safe.

I told a boss years ago "f*ck off" and left .it was a good decision.

I have loved giving 2 weeks' notice to employers where I've had a bad experience. It's taking the moral high road and nothing freaks out management more than having an employee wandering around the office for 2 whole weeks they can no longer control with sticks or carrots. The extra 2 weeks of pay is nice- but the fear in your former boss's eyes is priceless.

[bryguysays]

What is interesting, is Employers expect you to give a 2 week notice...Yet if you get "Let go", THEY don't have to give you a 2 week notice.

Never, ever look back when leaving a job. Don’t burn your bridges as far as references, but never go back to a job you left.

[lacretiagiddens]

I intend to leave my job for my overall well-being because my current job is toxic💯

[seanjayson]

Even if you leave "gracefully", your employer still might hold a grudge. Don't worry about burning bridges, that's usually an overblown worry, in my opinion,

I gave an employer 5 months notice I was leaving, and after I left, they recorded it as being fired anyway and were telling every new employer I was fired. I don't know how this kind of shit is legal, and even if it is not legal, the damage is already done.

[krispo]

They should stop asking people for references, seriously! Most ex bosses hold grudges and do no want to see you succeed.

[RationalMinded]

An employer has no problem firing you on 2 seconds notice. Where you find another job is nothing they give a damn about. If they fail to keep promises they used to entice you into accepting a job, and/or are part of a toxic workplace environment, you fire them and move on with your life. They do not all deserve a notice.

I worked at chipotle during summers between college, and one day a coworker of mine walks into the restaurant, proceeded to set up his amp and guitar, and he sings at the top of his lungs, electric guitar blasting, “CHIPOTLE, I It was a fantastic moment IMO ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[amandataebby]

To me, it never mattered. Even when I left a decent job on good terms, they still did a 180 and lied to potential new employers and said I skipped work and was sick all the time - which was 100% untrue. Remember, no one is your friend. It's all still high school. I completely agree with what you suggest about being cordial but very discreet. Regardless of what the employer does/says about it now or in the future, at least you know that you were the professional person. I have no references but I don't care because I'm changing careers and I'm sick of being a secretary.

If your job sucks, just leave people, you have the right to be happy.

Just hand over company property to your boss and say, "My watch has ended." Then walk out the door.

I saw this video maybe when you first released it and I never forgot your words. Today I shared it with my fiancé who finds herself all of a sudden after submitting her two weeks notice being promised the stars and the moon. It is truly an insult to be told “we have no money for raises, you can’t work remote…” to “whatever you want we need you!!!” Where was that energy when she was asking for it!? Thank you for helping us.

[Paul-iuqb]

You cannot work through your career being scared like that. If you were not treated well, there is no need for 2 weeks notice. Have guts and move on.

It seems like most employers are on the same team.I’ve worked for some very dishonest employers.They don’t want you to lie to them but they want you to lie to customers.The best thing to do is start your own business!😄
