Unless you plan to stay at one workplace until you retire, you will find yourself handing in a resignation letter to your employer at least a few times in your career. Along with that resignation letter, one usually gives their employer some notice, a set period of time that the employee continues to work, usually to ensure there are no loose ends before they leave for good.
Some workplaces state how long the notice should be in an employee's contract, while others don't require notice at all. So when you work at a place like the latter, it is up to you whether to give your workplace some time to figure out what they are going to do without you, or leave as soon as humanly possible. And if your workplace is anything like the one in the story below, you would probably choose the second option.
However, this employee decided to do the honorable thing and give their boss a two-week notice before leaving for another job. And although they knew their boss could be quite toxic, they did not expect her to complain that two weeks is not enough…

If we were in this employee's shoes, we would have walked out that minute and never looked back. As soon as they resigned, they owed nothing to their now-former boss, so why should they give someone so entitled any more of their time of day?
