> [@Fry](#): > > Don’t give more than two weeks. Two weeks is customary so you will be on good terms. No need to risk them saying “Oh yeah, well leave sooner” and you being without pay for X amount of time. +1 I’ve known at least a couple places (including where I’m at now) that send you home as soon as you turn in your resignation. Even if they love you as an employee some positions have too much access to sensitive information to keep someone with nothing to lose around. ---

I’ve always given 2 weeks notice and it’s usually not a problem. I would have been out of work for 2 weeks when I quit automated machine in OP. A machinist gave notice few weeks prior, and the owner made him leave right away. So instead, I buttoned up everything as best I could for 2 weeks, gave only one day notice and offered to work part time to finish any open projects. He declined of course. Fugg him, if he was a better boss he would have gotten better from me. I felt bad not giving an official 2 weeks, but I wasn’t going to risk being out of work. ---
