'Ended up putting in a two week notice... they acted surprised': Worker gives workplace 6 months notice, company avoids finding a replacement

This person gave their company half a year to replace them, and that still wasn't enough time. That's a generous offer! Most people give the usual two weeks' notice when switching jobs. It's the common courtesy to let your employer know that you're heading for the door, while also giving them time to strategize and start the hiring process for your replacement. 

U/Knowslittle wrote that their employer was making them do the jobs of three people. This worker was stretched so thin that it was becoming an unpleasant work environment. They proved that they cared about their company by giving them six whole months to figure out how to handle their departure. But still, the company just didn't move fast enough. Oh well, they did all they could to prepare their employers!

Commenters enjoyed the tale, and left stories of their own. Plus, in an edit to the post, the original poster shared their appreciation for the malicious compliance community, adding that workers should "value yourself and what you do." Sage advice for all of the workers of the world.
