It's written into my contract that although I am not legally obligated to, as a courtesy I would give two weeks' notice before leaving my job. I got laid off yesterday, and my medical coverage ended today.
Thankfully, I had some foresight and purchased supplemental insurance before open enrollment ended a few months ago. I have a chronic condition, and can't do without insurance.
I have been wanting to leave my job for some time, but always buffered every interview, and every new job outreach with the courtesy of 2 weeks because my start-up would be fucked without my work.
Turns out–they're fine and I lose my salary and insurance the very next day <3
So no matter what your situation is, and I am sure this sub will be like “Yea no shit lol”, but fuck the 2 weeks and focus on you 🙂
