What to do when boss said the day I give my two week notice will be my last day at the company?

 


My boss randomly told me not to worry about a two-week notice because that would be my last day.

He is the CEO/owner of the small business I work for. He’s always saying crazy shit like that for no reason.

Needless to say, this place is a toxic waste dump. I only started 10 months ago in my first job post-college.

I’ve recently started looking for something else, and I’m wondering if what he said gives me a license to quit on the spot?

Like, I don’t want to have a start date somewhere else and be fired for turning in my notice and be without 2 weeks' pay. On the other hand, I know a two-week notice is a right thing to do (assuming the owner was bluffing, I honestly don’t know), especially for my coworkers who will have to pick up the slack.

Advice?


JA:

Wait two days before your new start date and give him notice. No two weeks are needed. Quote him in your departure letter. I know you said not to worry about two-week notice. Malicious compliance all the way in this one.
