Leave of Absense or resign??? Posted by: Julia on January 07, 1999 at 15:22:34: Hi - I've worked for a big private corporation for almost three years. I am planning on taking time off and travelling - about 6 months. Because of a reorganization I had to start a new job six months ago and so my leave of absense request was kind of laughed at. My boss said he would talk to the VP, but I suspect they'll either offer me two months or, even more likely, nothing at all. It is convenient that I hate my career anyway and am looking for an excuse to get out. So I've decided that I'm probably going to quit. My friends tell me that if I am offered a leave of absense I should accept it and then quit when the time comes if I still want to. Just as a safety net. Is this acceptable or , rather, "professional"?? Also - what is an "acceptable" amount of time to give your resignation - 1 month, two weeks?? Follow Ups
