Re: resignation notice?

Re: resignation notice?
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?

I always thought that resignation notices should be no less than your normal pay period. ie if you are paid fortnightly then that is sufficient. However if you are paid monthly, then this would apply. Don't forget that is all most employers are required to give you if they sack you, either in time or money.

Come and work in Australia, we get 4 weeks paid vacation!!!!!!

Cheers, Cathy
