Quitting Without Notice

When an employee quits randomly it can cause tremendous stress to the family that is counting on her. Especially when there are two working parents. This creates not only a problem for the employer but also ends the relationship in an unpleasant manner. An employee should know that a reference letter is not always available when an employee quits like this and that reference letters are crucial for future jobs. Even if the employee is already situated with a new position and thinks that the reference letter isn't necessary - think twice. At one point, this job will end and you will wish you had a good reference for all jobs when seeking a new one.

Notice should be provided by both parties. Employers must be sensitive to an employee's economic status and potential hardship when a gap exists between jobs. Employees should be considerate and provide sufficient notice so that the employer can replace the position without any additional stress. There are many reasons for quitting and being terminated that may be unavoidable; however, dealing with the situation in a professional manner is what ultimately counts.
