Can I quit and give my MB 24 hours notice?

[Anonymous]

Good morning,


Big quarrel - and I want to stop working as like now!

She said I need to give them 2 or 1 months notice. This is crazy because in 2 months anything can happened and I worry they will put the blame on me i.e child gets injured.


Thank you

It would be unprofessional of you.

Would you rather your reputation ruined because you left without notice, or reputation ruined being blamed for something you did not do.

If determined to leave without notice, I would send an email stating you are leaving without notice due to the quarrel.

Any issues come up in the quarrel like lack of trust? Were voices raised?

What does the contract say?

That doesn't matter. The contract isn't bidding for actually quitting. may affect any accrued paid leave being paid out.

What was the argument about and what does your contract say? And yes, I understand that you are an at-will employee but it helps us to give you advice. If you don’t want our advice and are mad enough to do what you want, don't bother asking.

OP here,

MB apologized and told she found my replacement ( a daycare). I gave her two weeks notice. She said she need one month notice. Reason:- Need more time to check other daycare.


Thank you all.

Legally can you? Yes, absolutely.

If you do, you should not plan to use this family as a reference in the future and this family would likely tell their friends about your behavior. Whether that is okay with you or not depends on your circumstances.

It is generally not professional to give less than two weeks notice, but there can be exceptions for outrageous behaviors.

Are you going to stay for the month? Will you tell us what happened?

Bull! If her situation is so bad that she wants to leave immediately then something is very bad in this job
OP, if you feel this way, get your last paycheck
And cash and give notice o to immediate departure.

Don’t just quit, OP. Find another job and leave on good terms while keeping a good reference. Help your charge adjust.
