How much notice did you give your employer when leaving for a new job?

2 weeks but I don’t blame anyone who gives less. They’ll lay you off in a heartbeat.

Check your employee handbook to see if there is a requirement for how much notice to give but typically professional courtesy is two weeks notice.

Usually two weeks, but occasionally a week and a half if there are other factors at play. Regardless of how much notice, I make an effort to button up everything I’ve been working on so I don’t cause any problems for my team after I’ve left.

Anyone know anything about the so-called “leak” that WPP will be consolidating it's big general agency brands under “WPP Creative” (like the ydid with their media brands last year)? Will Ogilvy, AKQA, and VML really be retired as brands? Sir Martin had some choice words about this move—he’s not an uninterested party by any means, but he also wasn’t wrong.

Two weeks.

A courtesy in the U.S. is 2 weeks.

special attention to the word “courtesy”

Where are you located? Depends on the state, country, etc....And your role.

Legally I don't think you have to give notice (in certain cities). Although you'll be burning a possible bridge. It's common courtesy to give 2 weeks notice though.

In some cases where you're in a C-suite role, or higher in leadership I think the notice period is even longer.

I feel like 2 weeks is still the standard but nothing is etched in stone

This is so interesting to see from APAC because we usually have minimum two months, sometimes three.

I gave six months to my last agency, and I helped interview my replacement. They were good to me, and I wanted to return it.

Courtesy is 2 weeks. Depends if there’s a requirement in your contract.
