I started a new job 3 weeks ago. I don’t like it at all. I have a new job lined up.
Question-do I need to give 2 weeks ? |
| You have a new job lined up that quickly? Sounds like you didn’t give this job a fair shot and are definitely going to end up blacklisted… |
Disagree. If this company lost revenue, they would lay you off in a heart beat. It’s time wake up and stop showing this kind of deference. With that said, I’d give 2 weeks notice since it’s still the norm. |
| Nah, I would not. They have t invested much in you and you have nothing to wrap up. I’d tell them it isn’t working and offer a few days notice but I doubt they’ll take you up on it. Honestly, better for everyone to pull the plug sooner than later. |

OP: I am planning on leaving a job I started two months ago. I plan to offer two weeks but say I am glad to leave sooner given my limited tenure. My contract specifically says those who do not give appropriate notice are not eligible for rehire and while I don’t plan on working at this place again, why burn bridges.
And I don’t feel bad. Companies would lay you off without any care for your feelings. |
Yup, you're supposed to give two weeks yet they would get rid of you and forget about it before lunch. |
| What don’t you like about the job? |
Give them four weeks, which includes the paid holiday for Juneteenth. They'll counter that you are not needed past the holiday to avoid paying you. Then you can drop them cold. |
|
Curious- did you apply and interview for your new job before you started this one or get the new one within the two weeks?
If the second, what did you say on your interviews about why leaving so soon? |
+1 Always amaze at how people don't see this. |
| No, you can't possibly be doing anything of value yet that needs 2 weeks to wrap up. You are still in training. They will be happy you are dropping out. To stay would be to waste time. You can still offer but let them know you understand given your limited tenure an early departure might work best. |
