[quote=Anonymous]I think two weeks is the minimum especially if you are in a professional or management position.  Depending on your role in the company, the size of your department/company (i.e., are there others just like you who can pick up your work, or are you a department of one?), the ease with which someone new can come into the position and do the work you do are all factors to consider.  I work for a small company, have been here for a long time and am a department of one, so two weeks notice would put my company in a very bad position - if I left, I'd give at least 4 weeks notice if possible.  The other alternative is to give two weeks, but then also make yourself available for a finite amount of time (e.g., 8-16 hours, paid at a rate of $X per hour) for training your replacement or assisting with the transition. No matter how much your current employer sucks, it's always best to leave on a positive note if you can. You never know when you will need their reference or come across your colleagues in another life.   [/quote]
