I'll probably have a job offer in a 2 weeks, but I can't give notice right away.  How do I handle the stress?

Give them a three week notice for now, and if you find out you will have to leave a little sooner than that, let them know right away! Thats about as fair as it can get without losing a paycheck!

If you are not currently UNemployed, then write down "ASAP", if you are employed, give them a date 2 weeks from today and let them know that you have to give your current employer a 'two-week' notice, that way they know that you are responsible and won't leave them hanging if you find another job. :)

Give your boss a reasonable amount of notice before you quit your job.  How long have you been with the company?  How long would it take to train someone in your position?\n\nGive at least a minimum of two weeks notice, but a month would be nicer, so that your boss has time to fill the position and get someone trained before you leave.

You definitely do not want to burn any bridges. Diplomacy is the key, regardless of how you feel about the job. Do not allow your emotions to surface (at home of course you can break a few plates). Keep searching for a job after regular business hours and do not leave any option unexplored. When the right opportunity knocks, follow the company policies, and most importanly follow up with most influential people at your old company from time to time. Never complain or raise issues since you never know when they will come to haunt you. Best of luck

Well I'd say, wait a week after applying, if you do not hear anything in return, call them yourself. Just introduce yourself and say you recently turned in an application and were curious to know if anyone had the opportunity to go over it yet. Also mention you are very interested in working there and look forward to hearing back from them.   \nYou always want to sound interested in the position you're applying for and show confidence that you believe you can do a great job. \nAlso a tip before applying, or before accepting a job, is to go into the business you've applied to, by yourself or with a friend, hang out a bit, survey the people working around you - do they seem like nice people you would want to work around?  Do you see any managers? Do they seem nice? is everyone busy and happy...or busy and being pushed around?   Just observe. Being unhappy in a job is no fun.      \nSo take the initiative and call the places back first, wait a week and give them a call...be friendly and be confident. \nYou'll get a job eventually and its a great idea that you want to go out and work and make your own money :)

Unless specified in an employment contract (which is highly doubtful), there is no obligation of either party, employer or employee, to give any notice at all.  This is the case for most at-will employees.  The two week notice is essentially a business courtesy.  The other posters are right; it's two calendar weeks, which equates to 10 business days.  Although a professional kindness to give more notice, it's standard to give a two calendar week notice, and complaining that more wasn't given shows bitterness on behalf of the boss.

Turn in your two weeks using the disability as a crutch. Some employers will wave the two weeks for those reasons and they still might give you a decent reference. \n\nYou could always tell them the truth that you are suffering from anxiety at the workplace and turn in your two weeks. They may try to resolve the problem before it's up and you may not have to leave.

Two Weeks Notice or Love Actually

You say you are willing to wait until "we are not swamped" so why would you need an "excuse"?\n\nIf it is actually that hard to get time off, just tell your supervisor that you have been unusually stressed lately and you need to have a day to just get away and calm down.  Ask about a week ahead of time so it doesn't come as surprise to your sup.\nIf your sup is decent he/she will realize you are being thoughtful and responsible by asking ahead of time and should honor that.        \nAt least you will have the knowledge that you were honest.  \n\nA sup who isn't responsive to the needs of the workers will soon find they have a hostile working class to deal with and that will come back to bite in the arse.\n\nWhere I worked, we had one boss who thought he had to act like a dictator to control everyone. When he finally PO'd everyone to the point they hated him we started watching for ways to get rid of him. Eventually the attendance and work output showed on paper that he wasn't getting the job done and they moved him to another area. A friend and I had a talk with him before he was moved and we did our best to make him realize he caused all of the problems in our area.  He didn't listen. He acted the same in the new area and the people there were a lot meaner than us. They sabotaged everything he did and made his bosses know why things went downhill in their area. The company sent him to some training school to readjust his technique and then transferred him to a different facility where no one knew him.  We heard the people there slashed the tires on his car!! After that I don't know what happened. I don't condone the slashing but I do understand the frustration of an unreasonable boss. They are actually counter productive.\n\nGood luck and remember, honesty always pays good dividends...

only when you are ready to give the two-week notice.\nunless you are trying to pressure him for a raise.\nwhich could backfire.  i would wait until you have another job.

A 2 week notice would be nice but you don't have to give any.

Life is too short to live it with stress over little crap that won't be remembered 2 weeks from now. Learn to do deep-breathing exercizes and keep repeating to yourself "it's only life and it sure beats the alternative"

The best way to avoid the stress is to make sure that you've done your homework.  Make sure that you have objective (quantifiable) data to support your decision.  "Just not being with the company's mission" can be a serious issue for maintaining morale, etc., BUT the Department of Labor will laugh it out of their hearing room should the person claim unemployment.  Have you addressed their inability to "get with the program" with them?  How have you measured this?  Is it consistent with how you're treating other employees?  In order to fire stress-free (and legally), you need either a major infraction or a series of infractions.  Even with free-will employment status.  \n\nOkay, then for the meeting itself.  You have to remind yourself that you're not actually firing the person; they fired themselves, and you're just implementing their decision.  I know that sounds a little corny, but consider that YOU didn't do anything to get them there, they did.\n\nGood luck with this one.  It is definitely worth weeding the garden in the long run.

My advice is to go ahead and start the unwanted job. If you do get an offer for the one you really want go ahead and accept it, then explain  to your other employer that another opportunity has come through for you.  You can always give a two week notice (or less, depending on the company).  \n\nGood Luck

Give a 2 week notice..let them know why. I've even talked to my superiors, even a part time job should be quit in an adult like manner. By just not showing up, you can create more problems for yourself including with future jobs, it doesn't look good to just quit, bad working etiquette.

Be  respectful  and be your self  .Just  ask  if you can  speak  to  your  boss and tell him  that you need time off and  reason    why and if you love your work tell him how  happy you are to be employed  by him and for accepting you  for this  position that you  do .HMmmmm  no pay   you need to  talk to  some one  from  it called  proof of work and  go  see labour board you  do not  have to  work  for nothing make sure  you  understand 2 week waiting period  for pay in any job .Then you are payed one week then if by\nweekly.
