[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're leaving fed employment then I think you should decide how ever long you want. A couple hours, 1 day, 2 weeks, 4 months, etc.

If you're transferring to another agency, it may depend on the receiving/releasing agency's timeframe. My receiving station wanted me in 2 weeks whereas my releasing station said no and wanted to keep me 2 months. [/quote]

So who won? How long did you have to stay at your releasing station?[/quote]

They battled it out for a week and in the end, I was gone in 2 weeks. It went all the way to the top and releasing finally said they couldn't provide the proof where it said they could keep me 2 months. [/quote]

Wow! I'm shocked the releasing agency can hold you! I assumed 2 weeks notice was the standard regardless. [/quote]

I'm the battled it out poster but yes, this particular agency was known for holding people back to further their agenda. Just one of my many reasons for leaving along with my former coworkers who gave me great references before they too left for better things. Go to work, keep your head down and move on when you're ready. Don't rock the boat. [/quote]
