I gave a month’s notice at a job I was leaving. I was moving on, it wasn’t a shit job but I was ready to move up and they weren’t promoting me to the types of jobs I wanted. No hard feelings.
Until I have my month’s notice. I had been there 3 years and assumed we would take a week or so to hire someone, then I could train them on the job the last 2 weeks. It sure would have helped me when I started.
I wish I’d giving 3 days. They had no interest in including me in the new hire process (this is a small business, only 2 other people above me, owner and accountant) and basically it felt like they were waiting on me to leave so they could bring in their new pick.
Now I did end up working for that company in the position I wanted part time for a couple years after that, so I guess just not showing up would have been way worse, but I found that time period incredibly stressful and still don’t understand the motives.
I gave two weeks notice once, and fired on the spot. My manager claimed since I was quitting I probably do a shitty job the last two weeks so why keep me around.
This also happened to me once too. I was working at Amazon as a picker, and they unveiled a new tool that lets you put in electronically if you’re planning to leave. One morning, I put in that I was planning to leave in a month. Before lunch that same day, I was suddenly fired.

So I dont give notice no more no matter the job.
