Pat yourself on the back, my friend! We have learned so much these past 11 weeks and if you have been following what we have given you we know you have learned a lot and progressed immensely on your job/Carmen search.
And guess what? Now it’s time to quit! Say adios to your old job and say hello to your new dream job!
Of course, we are going to do this with all the dignity and respect in the world because these people, if nothing else, have given us a job for the past however long.
We need to show our gratitude! Prepare the champagne and glitter, Jeeves, because it’s time to go out in style!

As a unicorn, if you found acceptance in your current job it can be scary to go somewhere new and unknown. Putting in your two weeks notice is absolutely critical. The two-week window is “just right”, neither too much nor too little. Like Goldilocks and the three bears!
Just don’t pull a disappearing act, okay?

Let’s get real, shall we? You are not a magician, not Amelia Earhardt, nor my father. Don’t just disappear. Even if you make enough money to fill a bathtub and swim in it, magically disappearing out of the blue is never a smart move! Running away in the dead of night to “go get cigarettes” throws a massive wrench into company dynamics and leads to years of therapy and searching for father figures to fill the void (please come back Dad I miss you).
Giving a two weeks’ notice is a professional courtesy.
Your two weeks’ notice makes everyone aware of your last day! It also makes a paper trail so
if something goes wrong, you have it on record. You can gracefully finish up your tasks or tie any loose ends and leave your legacy.
Many companies require two weeks’ notice in order to get your saved-up vacation pay or other benefits. If you negotiated a signing bonus in your current job, you will likely have to pay it back if you don’t give a two weeks notice. It allows you to leave on good terms, so that if you ever show up in the dead of night without the cigarettes and a girlfriend named Cherish, they may still let you back in. Who knows, you may want to work for that company again in the future.

If at all possible you want to maintain connections with the people that you have previously worked with. They are in your professional network! You are leaving the job, not the relationships. You may want to use them as a reference in the future so keep those relationships warm if not hot!
Don’t burn bridges unless you really mean it. As a Trans & Gender Non-Conforming person, you represent a larger community.
It isn’t your job to educate your workplace community, but the unfortunate reality is that unicorns aren’t all that common outside of Pride parades and the first Harry Potter book, and as such, for your coworkers, you’re probably the most accessible form of genderqueer representation. Instead of fighting against this extra work, lean into it and allow yourself to be a sparkling example of a genuine human, and by extension a unicorn. Thus, take actions that reflect positively on this community.
