If I don't give one month notice (if I'd worked here less than 5 years, it would be 14 days), the employer doesn't have to pay me for unused vacation days.

Denmark usually requires a month's notice. But the thing is, everyone knows that you are already mentally absent and/or that they can't do poo poo, so you can pretty much just shitpost instead of working for a month.

It's something we get 2½ of for every month at work because the bougies were afraid of another civil war.

JK they were actually afraid of the Soviet Union.

2 weeks notice is fair because if you give more, like 6 weeks, you never know when the boss will just up and fire you and you might miss out on multiple paychecks you were counting on

Never quit your job without giving at least two weeks notice

Because once you realise how good it feels you'll want to do it all the time

I read some :decorum: bullshit once that you should add at least a week for every year you've been with a company and never give less than a month's notice.

Poor multi-billion dollar company might be slightly inconvenienced for a few days :cry:

when i worked in a restaurant i watched it happen firsthand to multiple people who just had like 7 or 8 shifts pulled out from under them for the crime of trying to give 2 weeks notice so yea lol i learned a lesson there

although the higher up the corporate food chain you get the more notice your expected to give so if you're like a C-level exec at a big company they probably expect you to give like 6 months notice cause that's how long it takes these people to find another corporate suit to stuff

pretty much my favourite day working at a job is the day i quit. immediately you get all the hand in the relationship, and they start begging you, "oh we can give the same days off every week" or "we were just about to offer you a promotion" hahaha.
course the problem is once i decide something, it's basically impossible to convince me to change it, so i just get to laugh at the about-face.

it wouldn't really make sense to change your mind about quitting a job once you've told the boss your planning to quit. even if they offer you more pay, more time off whatever, what your doing is giving your boss time to fire you on their terms.

unless you run into some freak scenario where lets say you had a new job lined up and the offer got rescinded, once you tell your boss your planning to quit you better follow thru

edit: unless you are super loving ballsy and are just trying to bluff your way into a raise in which case good luck

At my last job the CEO (it was a small company) was like "how much is this new place gonna pay you? Maybe I can just give you a better offer, you're very valuable" so I told him and he was like "well I can't do that" lmao ok

There are at least two to three employees where I work that pulled this off, and they got more flexible schedules from our facility manager as well.

The caveat to that is the facility manager where I work takes the non in non-confrontational to strange new places, so it wasn't exactly an uphill battle.

These moments are always pretty funny. My boss pulled out a little notebook when he asked. And then closed it and put it away.

Just mentioning that if your company has a HR department and you mention leaving and manage to leverage that into a raise, that leaves a big red target on your personnel file, meaning that unless you are super essential, you will be fired as soon as it's convenient for the company.

man, the fact you guys live in america just screws you up, even in klanada we still don't have at-will employment, they have to show justification for firing with write ups and the like, you can cut and run long before you can get fired.

a lot of companies do this where they start laying the ground work for your firing weeks or months ahead of time but legally they can fire you at any time for any reason as long as its not one of the 6 protected things the goverment says its not ok to fire someone for
