Thoughts on giving less than 2 weeks notice?

I’m quite frustrated and ready to start new job ASAP. I’ve been at current job for nearly 3 years and anyone who might be potential reference for future jobs (old bosses) has already left the company. I have good relationships here otherwise too.
1.5 week notice will work out with my upcoming travel plans and personal life as well, but concerned about if agencies really put you on “do not rehire” list?

Anyone give less notice and get in trouble?

It's not really about references, it's about being professional. Try to keep emotion out of it.

I truly believe you'll feel better if you give full notice, do all you can to ease the transition for your team, and stay positive the whole time. And some folks may remember that.

If you have a new job lined up you already won. Congrats, be happy! No need to dance in the end zone.

If you had prior arrangements I can make the case for 1.5 weeks… but we’re talking 2-3 days difference here. Seems silly. Just do two week. If anything, ask new agency for a later start date to take time off in between (assuming you haven’t already agreed to a start date).

But also, would you ever want to work with your current agency again? There are so many other agencies and companies…

Assuming you’re at one of the 6 holding companies?

Yep, IPG. Honestly I’m leaving the agency realm and hope not to come back ever again lol.

I do have prior plans, and the 2-3 day difference is only because I’m traveling next week as well (agency paid, but non client). Seems weird to put in notice while you’re already traveling/working less hours than usual? But yeah, sounds like might not be worth the hassle and i should just do an extra week …

Might be useful to note employment is at-will on both ends. The company will not hesitate to cut short your 2 weeks if it suits them financially while we as employees always feel obliged to do the 2 weeks. But certainly isn't mandatory.

Why would you go back?

Don’t want to go back but also don’t want everything I gave here for 3 years to be in vain because of a small thing, I guess?

How many companies would give you two weeks when they fire you?

What does your employment contract say? I’d suggest going with that formally (assuming 2 weeks) and then try to reach an agreement for less with your reasons.

If you feel this way, it may be likely they also feel this way about you. Be professional and give 2 weeks, there's a good chance they'll let you go right away. Then you get everything you want plus 2 weeks pay.

I liked working for him, we have great rapport and I could do permanent WFH since he is in another city. I don’t want to burn bridges, would this be a bad idea? Or an easy decision?

Junior associate here (2L). Got some ‘constructive feedback’ from a 4L.

Delegated tasks included basic grunt work like splitting out documents, preparing execution versions and other low-level tasks. 4L asked me to check with them before I delegate anything in the future. Thoughts?
