Is it still proper to give 2 week notices when you're leaving your job?

[ClassicDropout]

In the event that the employer is mistreating you, would you still say it's important to give them two weeks?

According to your profile, you're from the US, and while etiquette suggests you give a two week notice, it's hardly mantadory, assuming you're not a contracted employee

Most people just do it as a courtesy, but depending on how they're mistreating you, you could be perfectly justified in giving them the finger, and walking out.

They aren't required to give you a notice if they fire you, due to "at will" employment, and you're not required to give them a notice when you quit.

Again, to reiterate, this only applies if you are not contractually bound.

If your employer is physically mistreating you, you should leave immediately. You owe them nothing.

In all other situations, it's common courtesy to give two weeks notice. Depending on your job, some companies may ask you to leave immediately.

Sorry to hear what you're going through.

I'm the same with my boss.

I'm looking for a new job, I think you still have to give two give two weeks notice.

Just try and be polite so you can get a reference.

I want to quit every day but need a new job first.

It depends if you have a contract of employment, and what is in it. Otherwise, if you are paid weekly, one week's notice should suffice. If it is monthly, then one month is needed.

This what is expected in uk.

[AI Opinion]

Yes, it's generally proper to give two weeks' notice when leaving a job, as it reflects professionalism and courtesy. However, if you're experiencing mistreatment or a toxic work environment, your well-being is the top priority. It's wise to evaluate the situation, and if you feel unsafe or extremely uncomfortable, consider discussing your options with HR or a trusted advisor before deciding on the notice period. Ultimately, your health and peace of mind are most important, and it's crucial to act in a way that supports your best interests.

Depends on what was the contract you have signed in the time of joining
