While I believe in being considerate if possible, I keep thinking to myself how much notice do they give you if your being let go?
by Icebox April on December 19th, 2007
As much as you can. If you know you'll be gone in 3 months, then by all means, go ahead and let them know. But a minimum of 2 weeks is courteous.

Notice depends on the position you have, most places accept two weeks. However if its any kind of professional capacity 1 month may be needed.

2 weeks
by martingale_process on February 18th, 2008
Although the standard is generally assumed to be 2 weeks, this is really a holdover from 1930s managerial theory. The unfortunate truth is, your employer is not going to give you two weeks notice that you are terminated - whether you are a blue collar worker or senior management. If a company is willing to sign a mutual termination contract - stating that both parties will provide N days notice, then notice is appropriate. Lacking such a contract I suggest:
1 - Remove all personal belongings a day or two before you resign.
2 - Provide your immediate supervisor a letter of resignation on the day you resign.
3 - Be polite and firm on your way out the door for good.

If you like them, 2 weeks.
If you don't, count to ten.

If possible, never "burn your bridges" - give the employer as much notice as you can.

At least 2 weeks.

2 weeks is standard but it is also a courtesy not a requirement unless otherwise stated in the terms of your employment.
by Doggie S on December 20th, 2007
I think the standard is at least two weeks, to give them time to look for a replacement or to redistribute the workload among those left behind.

Two weeks is the norm, but many jobs actually have it written into your interview process how much they expect; at the Group Home company I was working at, they requested up front at least one month warning before you quit, simply because it is so hard to find replacement staff in that field.
Know someone who quit recently? Ask them!

1-2 weeks i would think.
by solistics on December 20th, 2007
Two weeks is normal. If you're an at-will employee and you believe your employer would not give you two weeks' notice if you were let go, then I would not feel bad about giving less notice. If they are the type who has security escort out every employee when they're let go, regardless of the reason, then I would not feel bad about giving no notice at all.

Read your hiring contract. The company you work for probably has a policy that you agreed to upon hire.
