What has been your experience of giving a 2 week notice?

@ky Someone reminded me that employment at WF is “ at will” and WF can’t hold employees to giving a 30, 60 or 90 day notice. A WF employee can leave at any time, just like WF can fire an employee anytime with no notice
@j7 you lose any unvested RSRs regardless of what notice you give - if you resign.
OP, the answer to your question is: if you are in a title that "requires" 30, 60, or 90 days of notice and you give less, you are ineligible for rehire. That's it. you lose unvested RSRs when you resign regardless of whether you do or don't give required notice.
There's some vaguely threatening language in the required notice policy that makes it sound like they can pursue some legal action but it's BS - there's nothing they can legally do unless you have an employment contract, which is reserved for OC + level.
@bb
One caveat to the 30, 60, and 90 day requirement by title. You can give whatever notice you want, 2 weeks, 1 day, etc. But if you don't give the 30, 60, or 90, then you lose the RSR shares they just gave us. If the job is better for you, who cares about the $2000 Cheapo Charley gave you!
So much information here. At will doesn't mean what you think it means. They can still make you ineligible for rehire if you dont fulfill their logic. It's not a contract either, its an employment agreement, totally different things. I asked a couple of lawyers buddies, they all said WF can do this
for those with officer titles they enacted a new notice policy back in June. VP is 30 days, ED is 60 days, MD is 90 upwards to like 180 days for senior folks. only so much they can do if you don't honor it. If you don't have a officer title then give as little notice as you want
give your 2 weeks, if you're in a sensitive enough role (tech etc.) you'll just get emergency termed and a paid 2wks anyway
Give a 30 day notice, tell them you're going to work for BofA. Enjoy the paid time off.
I've left multiple jobs without notice. Two weeks is what HR would like, but if it's not in a contract, it's meaningless. Your company will lay YOU off without notice. Loyalty is gone.
At my last job, I wiped my laptop, turned in my badge and made the IT person sign that they received my laptop. I walked out the door. It's the best feeling in the world.
The 30 day requirement is not enforceable in California, as it's an at will employment state.
It is required that we provide a 60-day notice and this will be a fully paid 'garden' leave, is that correct?
