two week notice. can i leave erlier then that?
(OP)
Hi,
I gave my two weeks notice following a huge argument with my boss over treatment of his workers. Now I want to leave early because I don't think I can watch this. He said that it is none of my business and I should not advocate "floor people". IS that a leagal word?
Can i leave as soon as i finish my project? Or can I leave before I finish the project?
Please advise,
Michel

If I resign, then I give 1 month's notice. If I decide to go any time earlier than 1 month from the day I resign, say 15 days earlier, then I lose 15 days' salary.
If my employer retrenches me, then, he gives 1 month's notice or if he chooses to send me home within 15 days of the letter, then he gives me 15 days salary.
Wherever I have worked, I have always gone ahead of the notice period, since I knew I would be going and I had planned my work accordingly, so as to ensure that I am not
leaving anything half-done.

If the job is that uncomfortable, I would think others in your company would want to know.
let us know how you make out...

If your bosses behavior is not correct, you can approach your HR department to express your concern - especially if his behavior extends to the point of sexual or racial misconduct - at that point, it's in the companies best interest for someone to bring attention to the problem.
However, these issues are always difficult. You may not be totally calm and rational yourself. If the corporate atmosphere is skewed as well, you could find yourself out-of-a job. Moreover, even though an employer is not suppose to communicate information about an employee, word does sometimes flow through the industry grapevines, and trying to successfully sue an employer for libel to your charcter is next to impossible.
Try to get advice from a lawyer who specializes in employment and contractural law. He might be able to recommend other simple actions you can take to protect yourself. Also, spending two hours with him will be educational, and maybe you can even vent some fustrations - afterall, his hourly rate is about the same as that of a good psychiatrist! Been there, done that.

I had a boss who called our production workers "Monkies". The guy was a spoon fed baby who could not handle the real world so he came to work for his wealthy neighbor running his company. Works for him I guess. The guy was not that bad just an arrogant arse (without the knowledge to back it up).

Better to lick your wounds and go from there.

If you've already had a big enough argument with your boss that you are resigning, then I seriously doubt that he would give you a reference (references are generally not made in the USA anymore, anyhow). It may be a good idea to stay the full 2 weeks, however. Both of you may cool down and decide to patch up your differences. I have had 2 employers in the past who would confiscate your vacation days if you gave notice of leaving. One even confiscated my vacation days after he told me that he was laying me off. In any event, I recommend that you stay the full 2 weeks.
