Episode 73 | Two Weeks’ Notice Is Arbitrary

Question

Hey, Work Wives! This is Hallie from Mesa, Arizona. So...two weeks' notice. How absolutely necessary is it? Is eight or 10 days okay? I want a few days to myself before starting to move positions.

Summary

How necessary is giving a full two weeks' notice?

Not f*cking necessary. 

But there are reasons to do it (or stay even longer!) and it behooves you to understand the bigger picture around letting your manager know you're out.
