Employee gives 2 weeks' notice after finding a new job, boss flat-out rejects it: 'He's not going to let me leave'

Leaving a job can be a little bit awkward. Maybe you weren't acting like you were going to leave any time soon and then bam, you are. It can be kind of strange. While two weeks can feel like a long time, it's not actually a long time. Two weeks goes by pretty quickly. This can leave your employer's head spinning just a bit when they're trying to figure out how to replace you. But, as they say, them's the breaks. Two weeks' notice is the standard in this country and a courtesy at that. 

You don't have to make it nice for them, and they should appreciate it when you do. But just because they should doesn't mean they do. Sometimes managers let their emotions get the better of them and end up saying things they might later regret. In the heat of the moment, anything is possible.
