Do you think it is necessary to give 2 weeks? - Noelle


Posted: May 30, 2012

Do you think it is necessary to give 2 weeks notice if I am ALWAYS out of work. For example I should be done with my 8 hour shift in an hour and I am not even half way through the day due to being out of work on my primary and ALL of my back ups. I just do not see the point in it.

What do you guys think?

Thanks and I hope everyone has a great day!! :)

I would always give a 2 week notice even if - agmt

I am out of work a lot. You never know what the future holds and you may be at a company that gets bought out by MM some day. Don't burn your bridges no matter how bad it is. Good luck!

I agree, if possible... - See message...

I agree that, if possible, I would give 2 weeks' notice. At least you'll feel like you did it the right way (even though I KNOW the way you're being used by your employer isn't "the right way"!); you won't be burning any bridges and won't be giving your current employer a reason to give a negative comment on future references; AND, you may find that if it's near the end of a pay period, your manager might tell you to just work until the end of the pay period anyway. The latter happened to 2 friends of mine: One only had to work 2 more days, and the other's last day was the day she gave her notice as it happened to be the last day she was scheduled to work during that pay period.

Thanks! - Noelle

I was not even thinking about future references. For that reason and that reason only I am going to give 2 weeks notice. Hopefully I will get lucky and not have to finish out the full 2 weeks.

JUST THINK, WE ALL GIVE OUR 2 WEEKS NOTICE
Nov 08, 2014

Wouldn't it be nice to see us all give our 2 weeks notice at the same time.  McDonald's workers can go on strike, but we can't.  We don't even get minimum wage, so they have to give us MUP.  Then they complain about it and make it look like its our fault that there is no work and if you punch out everytime there is no work that just means you are going to get even less, so they don't have to pay you minimum wage for the hours you are sitting here searchin ...

2-weeks
Jan 31, 2014

Hello fellow MT's, I saw that another MT posed this question and I thought it was a great idea to get a heads up before I do this. I plan on giving MM my 2 weeks very very very soon and I was wondering if anyone who has given 2 weeks at MM could tell me what happened immediately after they gave their notice? How they were treated, how PTO you have banked was handled, etc. Anything will be helpful. You can private e-mail me if you would like. Thank you in advance, it is very much appreciated ...

Mar 02, 2010

What if I don't give a 2 week notice?  Is it really gonna hurt me?  I doubt they give detailed information about what kind of employee you were.  Maybe just dates.  I have been with this company since the mid 90s and I hate to just up and leave like that, but I don't know if I can take it another day.  Every week its something new.  My pay is down to almost nothing.  With the type of reports I get, there is no way I'm making 5% and living with my ...
