RE: resignation notice?
Most
companies have some kind of personnel policy on that. To me 2 weeks sounds fine,
but the policy may say something else. Some one said that 4 weeks was the right
time so they could fine someone else. I really doubt, in todays workplace, that
they would even get an announcement out within 4 weeks, so that is a
non-consideration.
My
personal policy is to give anywhere from 2- 6 months notice that I
will be looking around for another job. But I tend to be intimately
involved with the operation of the lab and it usually takes at least 2 months to
even get someone else in the lab oriented to what they have to take over from
me. That is just a courtesy to the lab. If I was a bench tech with no investment
in lab operations I wouldn't worry about it.
Oh
well, it's done now, but I would take his claim of unprofessionalism with a
grain of salt - He's just bummed that he has to look for someone else. It
probably wouldn't matter if it was 2 months, he'd still be
mad.

Here's a
non-histo question. I recently gave my employer a 3 week notice that I have
accepted a better job offer in a hospital. He then pitched a fit and called me
unprofessional for giving such a short notice. I've only worked at this
research lab for 3 years and have 2 wks vacation. I assumed that the norm was
to give notice equivalent to ones vacation time. Does this seem
"unprofessional" to anyone besides my employer?
