Giving Notice Before Quitting? - BDR

Hey Savages,


So, I'm switching horses as a BDR currently. For anyone that saw my last post, I'm going with Company #1.


However, I'm sort of unclear as to how to proceed with respect to providing resignation notices. Bear in mind, this is my first role postgrad in Sales, with my previous non-internship role being a Starbucks Barista. In that role I gave two weeks, which seems to be a universal standard.


For context, I am not on salary (paid hourly) and receive no benefits. I have friends at the company that will vouch/provide recommendations for me regardless of whether I give notice. Either way, my boss is going to be pissed that I'm leaving, and is "catty" to say the least. I cannot state this strongly enough, the DO NOT want me leaving. The act of quitting in general negates the possibility of getting a reference, as I'm effectively leaving a frat.


However, I'm smart enough to know that I don't know everything, and that there may be a "shark beneath the pool blanket" if I outright quit. If y'all think this is going to screw me over down the line, please elaborate.


Is it good practice? No. But I do not want to get suckered into 2 weeks of odd jobs and CRM cleanup that I likely won't end up getting paid for when I could be getting prepped for a new position or provide an earlier start date.


There's red flags everywhere, and quite frankly I'm sick of this shit. I know it's pretty much certain that the company will do me no favors once I leave, and I want to move on ASAP.


Everyone, tell me what you'd do if you were in my shoes.

Lots of posts here about giving notice (search bar!).

That said, 2 weeks is standard but be ready to be ushered out the door the moment you give notice.

So back up any files, take anything personal home, etc prior to giving notice. Because it maybe the last time you see your desk.

Agree, give 2 weeks even if you donโ€™t mean it - 99% chance they wonโ€™t take you up on it and at least you leave knowing you did the right thing. IF they accept any addโ€™l time worked, you must be paid for it!
Sounds like these bros suck - why not take the better job and keep pulling hourly wages at this one until they fire you?

Ushered out the door for the win. My buddy was #1 at his company, like by a lot. He was leaving his job for some other reasons and to start on his own journey, but out of respect put in his 2 week notice. They told him he could just leave the same day and that was that.

Moral of the story, you are replaceable and don't really matter to the company.

Every company handles it differently, some will fire you on the spot and you won't get paid the next two weeks. Some will ask you to do little to no work over the next two weeks and thank you for your time Some will have you leave immediately, but pay you out the next 2 weeks .

I have even had a manager make the rep putting their notice in do 80 cold calls a day.

I would for sure ask reps who have left what happened and how they were paid out.

If you need/really want to be paid out, its not the worst thing to leave immediately with no notice, since its so common they won't have you work the next two weeks anyway.

Two weeks and be prepared to be cut off immediately. If your new company will take you early, great. Otherwise take the two weeks to take care of personal business and good riddance.

Two weeks. More than likely you will be cut loose immediately.

Speaking from my experience, they'll likely cut you loose the moment you put in your 2 weeks
