going to put in my two-week notice some time today

[Maximus96]

so two fridays ago i went to an interview and got an offer the following tuesday. it was below my expectations and last friday i got $2/hr more plus $1k guaranteed signing bonus. i got a copy of the revised offer letter that was sent to the principal engineer for approval. i wanted to submit my notice last friday but i figure its best to wait till the offer was officially approved. hope i hear back today so i can put my notice in...it feels good to relieve myself of the responsibilities at my current job, i can slack the next two weeks and don't really care...

As I learned from my story, don't bother giving notice, just don't show up.

Good luck. I'm also looking now. Hopefully something turns up soon. I haven't been looking to long, but its still frustrating.

Yeah, I know. I'm just still vengeful.

Congrats on the new job, BTW.

Congrats!

I just found out one of my two potential jobs is hanging in the air due to a hiring freeze, but I'm setting up a meeting for the other one in the next day or two.

:beer: all around, this may be a good week after all!

Nah, work your ass off, and show them what they're losing...
