    People cant give a one month notice.... Employers fire you without a one month or two week notice... You are not obligated nor can they give you a bad reference bc of it...

    Don’t give one months notice! Especially if you’re in a toxic environment. If the employer has been good to you, give one month. You could end up on unemployment for a month… be careful.

    Your situation is unique. Most companies today appreciate a notice but rarely accept it. The higher up the management pole you reside the more likely you will be asked to leave quickly. They do not want to pay a high earner who has mentally checked out or worse could possibly be going to work for the competition.

    According to the labour code where I live your employer does not need to give you more than 2 weeks severance pay, so if you give them 4 weeks notice they can fire you on the spot and only have to give you 2 weeks severance.

  • @giovannichambers2841
    @giovannichambers2841 5 років тому +1

    Thanks for sharing this! Really needed it. I happened to come across it because it's something I've been thinking about doing lately. Reason being is that it's a 12 hour day job with a rotating schedule, and I always have to wake up at 3am just to make it to work by 5am. It takes up most of my days due to the horrid traffic heading back home and having less time to work on myself as well as enjoying life. It also doesn't pay me well enough, and it's not something I went to college for. I'm not looking for other jobs right now because I'm planning on traveling overseas with my family for two weeks this January. So the timing isn't right at the moment. After I come back to the states, I'll be working where I am for a little while as I apply for other jobs with a normal schedule (Mostly Monday to Friday 9-5 types). Even if I become in between jobs close to summer of next year, I'll still have money saved up that'll last me up to at least a year. I know I'll find something else fast, though.

      I think for big or small companies it doesn't matter, everyone can be replaced but what can not is the quality of employee they have. I would say quit with two weeks notice, if you start a new job give a 3 week starting date, that way you take one week to recharge.

  • @HighTicket2Freedom
    @HighTicket2Freedom 5 років тому +13

    Awesome stuff John! I heard lots of debate over the years about the 2 week notice and why some people are against it.
    For me personally, I gave the 2 week notice to my first 2 jobs I had, which I was at both of them for over a year.
    Now, I’m at my third job and after seeing this, I’m considering the 1 month notice option, since it can get chaotic at times with a small roster of people.
    Now, I’m currently building my online business and am fully committing to this one path.
    Speaking of which, do you think you could do a video on shiny object syndrome?

    Pretty good advice. Sounds like you worked for a smaller company. I would definitely agree with being discreet. It’s not anyone’s business what you intend to do.
    For me the most impactful thing was your story about getting to a salary that was about 1.5x what you were making and have the confidence in your ability to keep it going. I am currently at a job that I have only been at for 5 months but absolutely hate because it is soooo boring. My goal is to accumulate a years worth of salary (including benefits)within the next 3 months in order to quit in June. That equates to an ambitious goal of $833/ day but I feel confident that I can do it. Thanks John for the great videos!

    Awesome video, that is really cool. What do you think set you apart from your co-workers as far as being able to bring in $100k a month for the company you worked for? What things were you better at than other people in similar positions in the company? Thanks I appreciate the video, really great content!

      That is amazing given that it was several years ago...without all the funnel making and web design tools available now. Thank you, that helps me a lot.
