It would be weird if a company said “in two weeks, I am firing you.”
The argument that this gives your employer time to find a replacement is bogus in this environment, where it often takes six weeks to six months to replace lost workers depending on circumstances.
Why do we have to give notice to our employer? It doesn’t really make sense and it’s just an awkward way to spend ten days winding down duties and being passive aggressive to one another.
A better alternative would be a structured debrief period of like three days where both parties agree to get what they can from one another before parting. Employee creates change of ownership docs and shores up loose ends, employer dispenses workload and shifts priorities out, employee leaves in good standing and doesn’t have to waste more time in a dead end than feasibly required.
As is the current expectation of two weeks posits that we ought to sell our labor where it is no longer most advantageous to do so on the basis of decorum.
Which is some straight up BS.
