Anyone with insight on Tyson Mendes?
I'm wanting to know what people think is better. Kaiser or ucla health for working as an admin staff. Ucla seems to have good pay from what I see on the job descriptions but kaiser only shows pay grade. Ucla has pension and a raise it seems every year. But I was alao told kaiser offers a dollar each year as a raise. I want a place I can grown and stsy Long term. Any one have any insight on kaiser and what they offered.UCLA Health Kaiser Permanente

Most states are right to work states and I'm guessing you're not part of a union. If you can be let go without a specific reason, i.e. "we are no longer in need of your services" is the best they'll give you, you can quit without notice. 2 weeks is just standard to allow the company to get the HR process of hiring someone to replace you, rolling. Don't let them scare you. That's all it is.
I think it's fine for you to give your 2 weeks, you need to prioritize yourself in these situations. If your next job wants you to start sooner then you need to leave sooner so that you can make that happen. In these situations I always try to remind myself that it's just a job and they would do what's best for the firm even if it wasn't what's best for me, so I should make sure I'm looking out for myself and doing what's best for me.
Two weeks is standard. Anything longer than that they are trying to hold on to you until they can fill your spot. They’re just looking out for themselves in this case..
Two weeks is standard. Good for you. They probably wouldn't give you two weeks notice if they were going to let you go.

If they wanted to let you go, they likely won't give you any notice.
Keep that energy. Give them a courtesy 2 weeks notice and stop stressing.
You can give one week or same-day notice. However, two weeks is standard. Anything longer is usually for niche or management roles, allowing for succession planning/ knowledge transfer.
You should give two weeks notice, that's the normal situation. But if you have another job lined up, is it possible they will let you start two weeks later? You should probably speak to your new employer and check the situation with them, and then adjust what you tell your current employer. It's possible you can handle it and make everyone happy (and ensure getting a good reference for yourself going forward).

Do you have a contract that specifically states the time frame to give notice? If not, you don't have to give them a full month. Courtesy is 2 weeks and I'm the type of person to do it regardless, and I've found every employer has always been okay with that as it's standard and they expect it.
At my last employer I actually did give them a month. It was ridiculous and they didn't even start the search for my replacement for 2 weeks. The extra time was a waste in my opinion. If they are desperate, they can always hire a temp if needed.
Your 2 week notice should be sufficient. You don't owe them more than that, especially since you have another job lined up.
Did you start your current job 4 wks after your acceptance? Prolly not, so they shouldn't expect you to be limited on time frame when you leave.
Give them the two weeks. Tell them you can work as a consultant after hours for 1.5 or 2x your current pay (you choose the number/time frame). They wouldn't hesitate to replace you if the shoe was on the other foot and you'll just be a memory soon. Sad, but painfully true. Good luck in your new position!
Why they need a month notice? Nah 2 weeks is good enough. Tell them you have a personal emergency.
If it was reverse the employer don't give you any notice so why do you have to give them a month notice. They want to use you to train your replacement. If they fired you the don't even let finish the day. They don't care if you have any bills, can feed your children or yourself. I have no loyalty to employers
Think of it this way ... if you were to be terminated (for any reason), would your employer give you 2 weeks notice? or 4 weeks notice, like they are telling you to give them? No. You do what you need to for yourself, but if you are truly worried about anything, talk with a labor law attorney to see what you can do and what they can do. Good luck.
Look at it this way, if they flat out fire you for not giving the amount of notice they want, then you can start your new job sooner. They cannot force you to stay!
