When I leave a job I always give plenty of notice and even the reasons why I'm leaving. This seems to happen the majority of the time:
I had this job for 2 years, good rapport with management and even offered to write an instruction manual for my replacement. Gave 3 weeks notice and the reasons for leaving (better pay, better benefits, a company I had worked for in another state and loved the job) Boss asked me not to come back the next day and use my vacation days.
Left the next job when I moved out of state. Gave one month notice. In less then one week they decided to lay me off for "seasonal" reasons. First time anyone has ever been laid off in the 2 years I was there.
Once again I am moving out of state and I gave a 6 week notice. Owner's response: great you can train someone for about 2 weeks and leave so you can pack. Not only do I have beyond great rapport with this boss, he considers me a friend also.
Do companies do this so that they will not have to pay 2 people for the same job or because they assume I'll no longer give 100% because I'm leaving?
