Best way to put in your 2 weeks with a small firm (about 4 employees) that is completely dependent on all the hats you wear without burning bridges? I’m completely overworked with no room for growth, after being here for 3 years and not having requests met, it’s time.

Preferably with another offer in hand, just tell them you've found a new opportunity and are willing to help transition responsibilities until you leave

Just make sure you’ve got your responsibilities documented so they have things to reference after you leave. That goes a long way.

Sometimes it's OK to burn a bridge if it takes you to nowhere you plan on going.

Good on you for asking this question. I’m assuming you have another job you’re going to.

I think sincerity will go a long way. It sounds like it shouldn’t be a surprise to them, given that I’ve asked for and been denied what you need to stay. Be firm in your resolve to move on because they probably will hit you with a counter offer. And be prepared to cut short the conversation and perhaps your remaining time there if they start getting ugly. You’ve done the right thing if you’ve been clear all along that your current workload is too much and you see no opportunity for growth.

Good luck!

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs. I didn't look for other jobs at work, so I'm not sure how they could have known that unless a coworker snitched on me. Is it worth it to try and find out who or should I just leave it? Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.

What should I reasonably expect from a junior?

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail. For bugs, I need to point them to a specific function that's causing the bug. For new features, I'm basically writing their method signatures and defining their test cases.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!
