By the nature of this sub I can already guess the answer, but here it goes anyway.
In a month I intend to quit my job with 1 month notice. I'm a one-person C&B department (we've had 4 people just 2 years ago and I was the most junior member of the team, but the company refuses to hire replacements). While the company is not going to suddenly collapse, I know my departure will hurt HR like a b***.
Despite being really disenchanted by the company and my director, I'm a good egg, and I'm considering letting her know in advance, I'm planning to quit. They are not gonna find a replacement for me in a month, hell, I doubt they will find a replacement in 2 months.
I'm wondering how stupid this idea is, and what's the worst-case scenario. It would give her more time to dig up something for disciplinary dismissal, and I do so much sh*t, she could probably find something. I don't think she's gonna do it, but I wouldn't bet my arm on it.
On the other hand, quitting suddenly doesn't sit right with me, no matter how crappy the company is. Being able to sleep well, knowing I did everything I could on my end to be fair and supportive, could be worth the risk.
Any advice?
