I’m currently in a tough spot at my job and really want to leave. I’m considering giving only 8 days notice instead of the full two weeks, as I’m waiting to hear back from a potential new employer. I plan to hold off on quitting until I have a formal job offer and have completed all necessary background checks and drug tests. I want to keep the option open to return to my current job if needed, but the thought of putting in another two weeks is overwhelming. It’s been a while since I’ve navigated this process, so I’m looking for advice on how to handle my notice period.
