Quitting with no notice

How many have done this personally or experienced a team member resigning with no notice, after they have secured a job offer elsewhere? Realize it’s burning bridges. If never foresee coming back to Truist, could be worth it?

Maybe be an adult and do the adult thing of putting in a notice? Plus that last two weeks you clock out at 5 and have no stress or guilt: win win situation

I know of someone who quit with no notice and left the department in bad shape. Said horrible things about the manager and a year later was called to come back in the same position. Now claiming she left due to the situation and her manager was great to her. I gave two weeks and got good luck to you!

@d9 they don’t, but they pay you a severance. Giving a notice is not for the company, it is for your peers that will have to pick up more work on your absence, it is treating them with the respect they would hopefully give you if the roles were reversed

Does the bank give you two weeks notice before eliminating your job?

I think you have your answer

Do you have ethics? Do you consider yourself a professional? If yes to either then put in a notice. This is a bank, you are not slinging burgers at McD’s for minimum wage, so act like it.

I haven’t quit with no notice but I did quit without having another job lined up. Still put in a two week notice though. …why wouldn’t you?

I've quit jobs before not only without giving any notice, but also without having any other job lined up, no prospects of any new work, and hardly any savings and no family to fall back on.

I was a wild one in my 20s, living on my own and somehow making ends meet, even when being quite impetuous and risky with my finances and career.

Always landed on my feet, ended up doing quite well after finding my niche, pulling 6 figs, and life's good.

Have confidence in yourself, and don't waste time staying where you're miserable.
That goes for your personal and professional life.
Nowadays, when potential employers check references, they will usually only get generic info. such as dates worked, confirming the position/level, and are you in their "would not rehire" category. You have to usually do something henious to be put into the "would not rehire" category, such as embezzelment, outright insubordination, etc. Simply not giving notice when quitting isn't good enough reason for them to relay that as a red flag on a reference.

If you have a new job lined up already, take it and don't feel bad about not giving notice.
You're not required by law to do so.
Just be respectful and professional when wrapping things up to leave, and go in peace.
Onward and upward.
