Frustrations and Apprehensions About Leaving and Two Weeks' Notice!
It’s so hard to say goodbye. Breaking the news to your fellow employees that you’re leaving is always a mixed feeling. Some might be excited about your future, but others will be sad that they will not see you anymore. Either way, at some point, most of us will face the task of informing our boss and other coworkers about our plan to leave the nest and finally spread our wings. Depending on how you go about doing this, your employer might not be so keen on letting you fly just yetInstead, they might kick you out of the nest or try and clip your wings so you physically can’t fly (Ouch Mom, that hurts).
It really depends on the relationship you have with your boss and your company as a whole. Whether or not you have or have yet to do so, giving a two weeks notice is not only important, it is highly recommended.

Why You Need to Give Two Weeks' Notice!
Giving your Two Weeks’ Notice is not just essential, but a basic courtesy in the workforce. Leaving a job without providing a notice is like metaphorically burning a bridge with that company. This could result in you having a negative reputation moving forward. In the future, if you need to use that job as a reference for a potential new job, it will not be an ideal situation when your ex-boss gets a call from an employer trying to hire you and then hear that you left without giving your Two Weeks’ Notice. It’s the modern-day equivalent of having an ex talk to your current partner. No one wants that at all.
