[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 688755, member: 1963"] When I was management, I gave 4 weeks notice as 2 weeks wasn't enough to replace me, and at least let me do a bit of "basic" (very) training with the new hire. It also gave me plenty of time to work with our IT trainer to set up a training program for my replacement. At my last company, I was informed that my department, including me, were being let go i in 3 months as they'd outsourced the work to a company in India. I was "asked" to spend that 3 mos in India training the people who would be replacing me and my team. I refused and gave 4 weeks notice in writing (email). About an hour later, the overall IT VP and security showed up at my office to supervise me cleaning out my desk and I was made to stand, with the VP, while security wiped all signs of my having ever existed from the 4 computers and 2 terminals in my office. Security also tried to find any porn and other signs of "misuse of company assets", but couldn't come up with anything to justify not paying me unemployment. [/QUOTE]
