There is a lot of churn within industries. They are going to be mad because you left them hanging. ![]() They aren't going to blame your boss if you leave with only 15 minutes notice, no matter how bad your boss was. Your peers, your direct reports, your clients, and your boss's peers also matter a great deal. Your boss isn't the only person that matters. ![]() With few exceptions (see below) you should never quit without warning. Normally a boss might be a bit cranky and even angry at you for leaving, but that doesn't justify bad behavior on your part. I have even heard stories of bosses calling the new employer and attempting to destroy the employee's reputation. If they don't want you to come into work once you're committed to working for a competitor, they should pay you for a reasonable notice period. Legally (in most situations) they can do this. Some bosses will terminate you immediately, regardless of how long you've said you have until your last day. Bosses sometimes go crazy when employees resign. ![]() Don't you think? You need to give them as little time as possible to do that. It's a little trickier if you need to relocate, though.īosses would be willing to sabotage your job change because they think they are understaffed and can't afford to lose you. You want as little down time as possible between jobs. If possible don't quit your job until the day before you start your new one. Your company doesn't care one whit about you and will fire you at the drop of a hat, so why on earth should you give them two weeks-or any length-of notice before you quit?
