Is a 2 weeks notice enough?

Question

I am a nurse practitioner, putting in my two weeks notice at the clinic where I work. I have been treated very disrespectfully here....cursed at and my written work has been plaigarized. I feel like I don't even want to give a notice, but I have to. I know most practitioners would give more. But, I am only giving 2 weeks. There is no contract. What do you think?

Answer 1

In my opinion, two weeks is MORE than sufficient notice, given your situation. I would go to your local labour board, if anyone attempts to contest this!!! Sorry to hear about your dilemna. Good luck in your future endeavours.

Answer 2

It's hard to know but two weeks is the standard rule. I'm a nanny and have given up to six weeks so the family could have plenty of time to find someone new. For some reason, people who you used to like and think were your friends, or at least who you worked well with, start acting like jerks when you say you're leaving. I guess it's like they figure you're out of there soon, so why not make the break now? Good luck with it and good luck with your new job!

i think two weeks is the only requirement, especially if there is no contract, and i know how you feel about being mistreated at work, i've actually quit on the spot, no i self employ and love it, you can be be self employ, work to make yourself rich, not someone else,i work with a great company they help homeowners pull tens of thousands of dollars of interest savings out of their mortgage through a carefully controllled biweekly prepayment system(by dividing their monthly payment by 2). their services is so popular, they're saving homeowners BILLIONS of dollars! this is NOT something that homeowners can easily do on their own due to many hidden pitfalls.... homeowners pay you about $395 to sign up. 2 simple forms. NO refinancing is involved. you enroll the client. the company do evrything else. and YOU CAN POCKET 100% COMMISSIONS! call 1800-365-7550 ext 61583 and get free info, that will explain it in more details, or e-mail me at [e-mail]

Answer 4

If you are treated that badly at work, and it makes you that uncomfortable... than I wouldn't give but maybe a day's notice... but just remember that your next employer is going to call them to see what kind of worker you are. So that would reflect poorly on you. Just think of the consequences before you make any decisions, but 2 weeks is standard.

Answer 5

It totally depends on your contract/offer letter

if the offer letter specifies that the Job is At Will

you can leave the company any time you want
But normally giving two weeks notice gives you an option of asking for references (if you need one)

Answer 6

If you have been subjected to maltreatment and harassment, and your work has been plagiarized, you likely don't have to give any notice. And in fact, you could launch a suit against your employer.
However, if you don't want to go to those extremes, the customary notice period is one pay period. So if you are paid every two weeks, two weeks notice is sufficient.

Answer 7

In your situation honey 2 weeks in more than enough........I think I would have walked away and not said a word.......You have no contract and you don't owe those fools anything......they plagiarized your work and cursed at you, you are too nice.....

I hope where you're going the people appreciate you. Peace.

Answer 8

Two weeks is the standard. If you are being treated badly, there is no reason to give more. I do think that you should stick with the two weeks because it will look bad if future employers contact your current employer.

Answer 9

Two weeks is more than enough. I have given two weeks on dozens and dozens of jobs; but have demanded my pay and walked out on two that got into my face without cause. I would put "cursed at" high on my walkout list.

Answer 10

The rule of thumb is to give one week's notice for every week of vacation that you earn. In other words, if you get two weeks vacation per year, then two weeks notice is sufficient if you are leaving.
