I put in my 2 week notice at my job last week which is in GA. I am getting married this weekend and moving to DC. The wedding is in Maryland.
I really want to retract my 2 weeks and make it 1 because otherwise I would go to Maryland Friday morning, get married saturday, and return to GA on Monday to finish my last week and get the rest of my things.
I'd really just like to pack up and go. What would you do?

Simply ask your management. They like a 2 week or more notice as a courtesy, but a lot of the time they pretty much count you out as an asset as soon as you put in the notice if they can. They consider a leaving employee as unreliable. I've put in a 2 week notice before and I've been told I can leave earlier. From the employer's standpoint, if you're not necessary to train a replacement, then you are completely expendable at that point. Just ask! Good luck!

Retract & make it one week & maybe a couple of days..Like 9 days instead of the whole 14 ((2 week period)). Due to wedding plans you need to be focused. Your pushing yourself to the limit in such a short amount of time. If you have no ties with this company once you move, you should be o.k. Just explain to them that you are having some issues & you can't work the latter of your 2 week.

Do just that...2 wks notice is a grace period, not a requirement. Just let them know that u thought u could put in 2 last weeks, but with our wedding and moving, the time constraints are just too much. U apologize for the inconvenience, however u have no choice. Good luck with all u have ahead of u!!!

I was totally honest with my employer and went to them and said that I was leaving my husband and due to circumstances (I had to move out of the town and down to London), I told him that I would not be in work on the following day, he was not happy, but what could he do, sometimes things happen in life beyond our control. If you are honest with then they will more than likely let you off with it.

Explain the situation to the company and then request them for an earlier end date. They should understand. Try not to burn any bridges because you may need them as a reference later.

Just be honest with your job. Tell them you are sorry you have to leave sooner then planned and you are sorry but, can only give them a week. What are they going to do fire you? lol Have a great wedding and don't worry about the job...Congrats....

Explain to your manager that you got your timing mixed up and that this will be you last week of work. Congratulations on the wedding!!!

I guess it would depend on your employer. I try to never burn bridges. Is it going to leave you looking like a bad employee? Is it going to leave them in a really bad spot? How good have they been to you?

Do not get in the habit of breaking your committments especially at this moment in your life. It is a bad practice to start.

Honor the two week original notice you gave. You gave a company your word and a signed notice. It is your responsibility to live up to it.
