I'd give a couple of weeks if for no other reason, you might work for them again. I'd have the other job lined up though, just in case you get canned as soon as you let them know.

I would confirm with the new company that you have a slot with them after the frist of the year.
Then If you do, ride this one out till they lay you off. |

Quoted: I'd give a couple of weeks if for no other reason, you might work for them again. I'd have the other job lined up though, just in case you get canned as soon as you let them know. Exactly what I would do. |

Your loyalty is to yourself. You should take the solid job as opposed to hanging around hoping things will pickup later. The sure thing job may not be there when you need it. Still, you should give 2 weeks notice.

As a manager and a contractor, any person who doesn't give two weeks is automatically disqualified from working for me again.
When I was a newbie, we had a guy that worked in my group for 1/2 day, then said he was going to lunch. He never came back. Fast forward 10 years and he comes in for an interview. He looked familiar, when I placed the face, I politely ended the interview and called the company that sent him. If you don't give 2 weeks, it looks bad on you and your company. |

But it's ok for a company to dump you with no notice?
Nice. |

At least leave on good terms. Give 2 weeks notice and be upstanding regardless if they would not do it for you.
Motopix, yes, in fact, it is ok for a company to not give you 2 weeks notice or any for that fact. Actually, I have never given anyone any notice that they were going to be released. Too much chance that something may happen that would be less than appropriate. If guys give me 2 weeks notice I usually just pay them for the 2 weeks and tell them goodbye then and there on the spot. If someone is going to be layed off, hopefully there is enough information flow to allow them to see it comming. Edited to say then when I pay them the 2 weeks, it is on good terms with them. I tell them to have 2 weeks pay and enjoy the time off before they move on. If someone wants to leave I have never taken it personally or been pissed. It is their life and I hope they are makeing a positive move for their future. I wish them the best and tell them to give me a call if they ever change their minds. |

Leave in good terms, never burn bridges behind you, you may have to retreat.
Good luck BR |

Talk to your boss. Keep in mind most will pooop on ya to get what they need.
We work the same way project to project. I like to keep the best and will work hard even if I got to can someone else. If I know my goto guy is leaving due to slow downs I will do what I can or let him know who much notice I really need. |

I'm just in a foul mood because I'm having trouble finding my next project. I gave two weeks notice and left on my own to return to school. Now I need to get back to work and the jobs are just not out there.
I've got issues... |

thanks,
i am the kind of guy that does normally give 2 weeks. it just pisses me off that i can't get more than 4-6hrs from those i work for.[:(!] the last time it happened i came back from a 1 week vacation (Thunder Ranch Urban Rifle 2)when i left everything was cool. plenty of work and the boss said good by, see you in a week, you earned your vacation (6 months of 50-60 hr work weeks). when i came back i picked up where i left off and about 10:00 the boss calls me into his office and i am out the door with nothing but the "you did nothing wrong" speech. |
