I recently received a verbal offer from a very good University that I had a chance to interview with. The position is newly created and it is much better than the job that I currently have. However, I am reluctant to give notice until I have that offer via email, which is suppose to come later on today. Would you wait until that time before you tell your immediate supervisor that you are out?
p.s...No more being a consultant from now on. This position is a REAL job.

What is the rush to tell your immediate supervisor? Are you obligated to tell your immediate supervisor right away? What's the pressure? Tell your immediate supervisor after you've received the written offer and you've accepted in writing and you're certain the the Uni which made the offer has received and accepted your acceptance. And try not to say to your immediate supervisor that you are leaving to take a real job.

Unless you have some sort of contract or employee handbook that says otherwise, then two weeks notice is customary.

Well, I would recommend more than two weeks notice unless you want to burn all bridges behind you. Most schools are at the stage of setting their fall schedules and getting close to student registration time. I would tell your immediate supervisor right after you've gotten and signed the final written contract from your new job. That way, they can either find someone to cover your classes or cancel them.

Bojangles has a habit of leaving out the very relevant information that he/she is not a faculty member. The advice for someone in admin would be different than for a faculty member. |

Make sure that your benefits aren't cut off in the summertime once you give notice. Apparently this is not rare. This is one reason to give 2 weeks notice. Telling your chair and telling HR and official people are two different things.

Does anyone listen? I am not a faculty member. |

Correct, as usual, TZ. That's because you are not Dude. TZ, however, is Dude. TZ is my favorite. I wish YOU began with A. |

His comment about no longer having to be a consultant was a pretty big clue imo. |

I would like to say this very specific horrible thing, for example, that your mother wears combat boots. But I would never suggest such a thing, so I would never say it, even though, in fact, I actually did just say it. Which is more imfantile? a) To call a jerk a jerk? b) Or to say that someone is infantile and then take it back by saying that you never said it? |
