Will I burn bridges if I only give a one week notice? I'm at breakdown/burnout level at this current job.

You wouldn’t get a weeks notice if it was the other way around. Have you projects uploaded and ready to hand off. Offer a week for exiting.

Not in all scenarios

You might, but why would you want to go back to a place that burnt you out and broke you down?

likesmarthelpful

You probably will but so what. Some bridges are meant to be burned. You’re giving a weeks notice not 10 minutes

like

Yes. You might burn a bridge.

Your new agency should give you a later start date, assuming they are reasonable people.

I think if you’re honest about why that helps cushion the timeline. I also agree that as an employee you are never given the benefit of an exit window but this industry can be small…

Give the two. And after you put in your two weeks, do the minimum you need to do, check out, but help transition.

Any sane person on your team should know they’re not going to get 1000%. Or even 50%.

You never know what will happen in the future. Smile, be nice, taper down, and if they ask you to work the weekend say absolutely not.

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell. I was on it one time for about 10 minutes and could feel myself becoming mentally unwell in just those 10 minutes. The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
