[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's it not an inter-agency move and you're resigning or retiring, there are no requirements.  It's up to you and your conscience.

[b]I know someone who retired on 1 day's notice, left the office on Weds. saying he was taking annual leave Thurs. and Friday and retiring effective Sunday.[/b]

I got a buyout and retired this year and gave my office director (I was a manager) about 35 days notice, I told him the day before the buyout list was going to be given to him.

I did it as a courtesy since I like him and knew that my leaving would increase his load and cause him to have to scramble to cover what I did.  Otherwise I would have been ready to wait until much closer given the lack of professionalism and incompetence permeating our management ranks below his level.

But I'm aware of no requirement for any notice period, there's also the question of how quickly your organization and HR can process your retirement or resignation.[/quote]

Did he hate his job and co workers? Did they speak badly about him after he left?[/quote]

He was fed up.  As many are.  No re the co-workers, they were envious.[/quote]
