Gone are the days of lifetime employment. Unless you get fired you will need to quit. My suggestion? Do it with class. Sit down with your manager and let him know that you are leaving and offer a minimum of two weeks notice. Regardless of how much you would like to slam down your resignation letter on his desk and walk out, consider that it is likely that your next job won't be your last and that future employers might want to talk to your current boss. If you handle it right it is very likely that your current boss will provide positive references for the rest of your career. Handle it wrong and at best you won't be able to get a reference and worst you might get a negative reference. On the other hand, I highly recommend employers providing a minimum of two weeks notice to employees regardless of the reason for termination. Get a release in exchange for the severence payment of course.</p> There comes a time in most employment relationships when it is time to move on. Gone are the days of lifetime employment.
