Recessional
Announcements about the reception
Giving two-weeks notice when resigning from your job is a courteous and respectful way to quit your job and stay on good terms with your employer and coworkers (who will have to take up your responsibilities in your absence). This buffer time lets an employer make a plan for passing off your responsibilities and start looking for a replacement. You're not legally obligated to give two-weeks notice.
When do I give notice?
If you're moving on to a new job at another company, give your current employer your notice only after you've hammered out the details and signed the offer letter for your new job.
Even if you've gotten a verbal offer from a new company, wait until you have that offer in hand and are totally satisfied with the terms and have signed before you give your two-weeks to your current boss. If something were to fall through with the new gig, there's no guarantee your current boss would be amenable to taking you back.
How do I give two-weeks notice?
'The best way to give notice is through a conversation with your direct manager. Not email or some other impersonal format,' career change coach Theola DeBose says. 'As the employee, you may be eager to move on to your new role. But as the saying goes, it's not how you start, it's how you finish. How you end your job is important for future references.'
Set a meeting with your boss or plan on giving your notice in your next 1:1. Come with a printed letter and set enough time to discuss the details of your departure and any responsibilities you need to transition.
'Be open if your employer asks for more time and try to come to a compromise. If the situation is extremely toxic and you want to hold firm to your end date, consider having a transition memo already written so that you can present them with a next steps plan,' DeBose says.
How to write a two-weeks notice letter
1. Keep it short
Tell your employer that you're leaving the company and when your last day will be.
You don't need to tell them whether you have a new job or even why you're leaving. You're welcome to say thank you or to express what you've loved about the job. Your two-weeks notice letter isn't the place to let your boss know what a drag the job has been, but consider that your boss may ask you why you're leaving. In which case, be prepared.
'Think carefully about the real reasons you want to quit and the reasons you wish to share with your employer,' career coach Kathy Caprino says. 'They're often very different. But be very conscious and intentional on how you want to part—amicably, angrily, abruptly, responsibly, etc. Be mindful of how you want to be remembered—the way you part with the company will dramatically impact your reputation, how you are remembered by your manager, leadership, and colleagues, and the legacy you leave behind.'

2. Include the date
Be sure to date the letter—both the date you deliver (if it's printed; emails are timestamped) and the date of your last day. This helps your employer keep a paper trail and makes it explicitly clear when you'll be leaving.
3. Deliver it in person, if you can
If you can, deliver the letter in person to your direct supervisor during a private meeting. It's a way to be courteous and thank them.
If an in-person meeting isn't possible, schedule a video call or send your resignation letter in an email and offer to discuss on a phone call or via video chat.

4. Send a copy to human resources
If your company has a human resources department, email a copy to HR. They will then likely schedule an exit interview with you to discuss your time at the company. This is also a good time to bring questions about cashing out PTO and how long your benefits will last after your last day.
5. Be honest in your exit interview
Your employer might schedule an exit interview with you to find out what you did and didn't like about your time at the company.
The best thing you can do in an exit interview is to be honest. Talk about the bad experiences tactfully. You want to 1) be able to get it off your chest, and 2) give the employer the opportunity to change. Providing helpful criticism is an indirect way to help out the coworkers you're leaving behind. If the company doesn't know what's wrong, it can't improve for the remaining employees.
What if I can't give two-weeks notice?
You are not legally obligated to give two-weeks notice. Most employees in the United States (except for those in Montana) are considered 'at-will' workers, which means the job can end at any time for any reason. That includes your right to quit without notice.
Note that your employment contract may require you to give two weeks, so if you don't, you won't be breaking the law, but your employer might not pay out your bonuses or cash out your remaining vacation days. You might also leave extra work for your coworkers to do in your absence.

Two-weeks notice letter template #4 - a little bit less than two weeks
Let's be honest. Sometimes you can't give a full two-weeks notice. You need to start your new job sooner than later, you want some time to yourself between gigs, or perhaps you just can't wait to get out of a toxic environment.
If that's the case, here's how to give your notice.
[Date of Letter Delivery]
Dear [Supervisor's Name],
This is to let you know that my last day at [Company Name] will be [Day of Week, Month, Day, Year], one week from today.
I want to thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this team for the last six years. I've learned a great deal and grown as a person. I leave a better professional too.
Please let me know what I can do in this final week to prepare for a new hire to take my place.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
What to do if your employer counter-offers
When you meet with your boss to give them your two-weeks notice, they might counter-offer to get you to stay, which is a huge compliment to your skills and abilities. A counter-offer might mean a higher salary, more fringe benefits, or the ability to work from home.
While you should never assume you'll receive a counter-offer, take a moment to consider what it would take for you to stay, if anything.
'Before you give notice, understand what you will and will not negotiate on,' Caprino says. 'If they want to give you a counter-offer, have a clear idea in your mind of what would need to be in the compensation package or in other aspects of their counter-offer for you to say yes. If they counter-offer and you want to consider it, don't say yes right away. Take the time you need to evaluate it.'
A counter-offer is a great chance for you to negotiate a higher salary or flexible work hours, but as Caprino points out, it's not always dollars and cents that amount to the 'cost' of staying.
'Remember, if you absolutely hate this job and have another lined up but your employer offers you more money, think about the ‘cost' of staying. Most people who stay in a job they hate just for the added money, end up regretting it. It's preferable to find a great job you'll enjoy that offers you that better compensation package.'
If you do take a counter-offer, let your would-have-been new employer know ASAP. It's not unheard of to lose a potential hire to a counter-offer, but it's absolutely inconvenient. Give them the courtesy of alerting them as soon as possible.
Dear [Supervisor's Name],
I wanted to let you know that I accepted a counter-offer from my current employer this morning and will not be joining the [Name of New Company] team. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes in your search for a new [job title]. I have the utmost respect for your organization and the work you do, and I appreciate very much the opportunity to join. I wish you the very best in your search.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
If your current employer doesn't counter, it doesn't necessarily mean they're glad to be rid of you, they just might not have the resources to offer you anything more. And, Caprino says: 'If you're wanting to give notice just to push them to give you a counter-offer, don't do it. That's not the way to rise in an organization, plus you may not get it—and you'll be out of a job that way.'
After you give notice, how to wrap up your responsibilities like a pro
Here are some tips for wrapping up your responsibilities and making sure you stay on good terms once you've turned in your two-weeks notice.
Document all your day-to-day tasks, big and small, and the process for each
This will make it much easier for your boss to write a job description for your replacement or to delegate your responsibilities among your colleagues.
Offer to train colleagues
Ask your manager if there's any knowledge they'd like for you to pass along to a coworker before you leave.
Don't just check out
It may be your last two weeks, but showing up late, shirking responsibilities, or wasting time won't leave them with pleasant last memories of you.
