The Monster Blog: Two Weeks’ Notice (10079 words)
Not sure why it is two weeks but that seems to be the way it is. For executive positions the transition time may be months but I assume we aren't at that level.
However, after two weeks his partner handed me a severance and release agreement, thereby holding me hostage for the previous two weeks making me think he was going to be a good guy.
If someone gives less than 2 weeks' notice, they are clearly no longer invested in the company, and the few times it happened the employee did have a negative attitude toward his/ her job, so it was better to have them leave immediately.
