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.
That’s helpful, appreciate it!
Do you like your bridges burnt or unburnt?
If someone really takes that much offense to you leaving a job a couple days early — I wouldn’t really want to work with them again in the first place.
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.
Burns a bridge, never a good idea. What about your teams and peers? Will they appreciate how you left? Lots of people do it I think it’s bad form.
Definite do not rehire in your file.
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.
