what will happen if i just leave my job and not do my notice?

Answer 1

You will feel so free!!!!!! They don't give you notice if they're going to fire you, so why should you afford them that courtesy?

Answer 2

It could prevent you from getting another job that you want! It's called "burning bridges". You are leaving a very bad impression that could come back to haunt you. You may need references in the future, and if you leave a job without notice, you can forget about getting them from there. Also, you never know when you could run into someone from that job you quit in the future. My advice is to give them notice and tough it out for at least 2 weeks. Then again, sometimes a job is so bad that you have no choice.

Answer 3

Nothing. You are allowed at any time to just get up and leave. This is a free country after all. But there are consequences to that.

1. If for some reason you want to come back to the job (trust me, many times I didn't think I was going to have to come back, but I did, and because I gave the notice they let me come back)

2. If you go for another job and they call your old job and ask about you, they might tell them that you didn't give any notice, and companies don't like when you don't give them 2 weeks notice.

So, just keep that in mind.

Answer 4

Effectively nothing.

They cannot refuse you a reference either as they are bound by law to provide one. As long as your previous performance & condust has been acceptable.

In law nobody can force you to work anywhere you do not want to so notice period form employee to emplouer can never be enforced by the courts. And they can really sue you for damages since by leaving you waiver your salary for the notice period, so they cant sue you for money they havent paid you.

The only real issue is ethics and the grapevine if you are in a profession, otherwise open the door and smell the freedom. Do it.

Answer 5

If you value the experience and intend to reference this job to future employers, give two weeks notice. The job market is highly competitive and you need all the points you can get. Chances are they will release you immediately anyway.

Answer 6

It depends. They will obviously pay you up to today but will deduct any hol that you may have taken over your pro rata amount. You will have to wait for your P45 to come and sometime employers hang onto this for a really long time, but it depends on how big they are. They can't do anything, just make sure you wipe what you need to off your hard drive, back up anything you might need, and take everything tahts yours...
Good luck!

Answer 7

Wait till you find another job before walking, it's a lot easier to get another Job, Go to the doctor tell him your stressed out and you can take as long as you want to get better and get a new job, screw the slave drivers for every penny!

Answer 8

There is a certain amount of freedom...especially if you didnt like the people or the conditions. The only downside is you can't use them as a reference and you have to explain to future employers why you walked out. aside from that...it feels fabulous.

Answer 9

They'll give you a bad reference and may not pay you, as you've broken your contract.

If I were you I'd grin and bear it. If you really want to go now, tell your boss and see if you can come to some sort of agreement, and get it in writing.

Answer 10

You burn that employment bridge and, if you put them down as a work reference, in the future, they're not exactly going to provide you with a glowing reference.

Answer 11

Employers pay you in arrears. I you leave them without notice they will not pay you for the period of notice you should have given them.
