Giving No Notice?

I’ve been at a job for 9 months. In this time I’ve gotten on great with everyone and am getting great feedback. However, this isn’t the work that I was expecting. I was hired for accounting work, number crunching and analyzing which is my passion, but it’s turned out to be 100% customer service with people who couldn’t navigate a number set if their lives depended on it.

I’ve been at a job for 9 months. In this time I’ve gotten on great with everyone and am getting great feedback. However, this isn’t the work that I was expecting. I was hired for accounting work, number crunching and analyzing which is my passion, but it’s turned out to be 100% customer service with people who couldn’t navigate a number set if their lives depended on it. So I’m miserable.

I found my dream job at my dream company, and I’m about an hour away from getting an offer letter. I’m so excited that I’m vibrating and can’t get out of here fast enough.

I’m already miserable when they like me, so I can only imagine what will happen if I put in my two-weeks notice.

I’ve seen a movement to leave behind the two-weeks notice, that it’s a courtesy and not a requirement, and that companies have no problem dropping their employees on a dime, but is that really the case? I’m 40 and have never not submitted notice, but I’m just so damn over it and ready to start the new job TOMORROW.
