Ask Slashdot: When Is It OK To Not Give Notice?

Posted by timothy on Thursday August 15, 2013 @09:41AM from the as-you-put-the-strychnine-in-the-guacamole dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Here in the U.S., 'being professional' means giving at least two week's notice when leaving a job. Is this an outmoded notion? We've all heard stories about (or perhaps experienced) a quick escort to the parking lot upon giving the normal notice, and I've never heard of a company giving a two-week notice to an employee that's being laid off or fired. A generation ago, providing a lengthy notice was required to get a glowing reference, but these days does a reference hold water any more? Once you're reached the point where you know it's time to leave, under what circumstances would you just up and walk out or give only a short notice?"

That's because you're a bunch of fucking Communists. The true American way is to kick their fucking asses out the door after you've raped them for the pathetic wage slaves they are. Now THAT'S freedom!
