Resigning from job

[Blahblah]

I'm really not sure what board is best suited for this.

Long story short, my employer said they "require" an 8 week notice for resignation. I have a new job in 4 weeks.
So I put in a 3 week notice.

Does not putting in a required notice just mean I'm not eligible for re-hire? Any other ramifications?

Thanks!

Wow...8 weeks is a long time. I dont think there is anything they can do though.

Yeah, really, what can they do (assuming you're leaving your current company for a new one?) I mean, I guess if you ever wanted to get a job back at your old company, they might remember and possibly hold it against you? But even then, I'm not sure they would...

8 weeks?! If you didn't already have a job, I might worry about not being able to use them as a reference or something, but really? I can't imagine it will matter for you if you never want to go back!

Is this something specific to your industry/job?

That is a very long time for notice. I can see DH having to give a longer than standard notice, as part of his employment contract, based on his position, and some other friends, like doctors or other key personnel, who have critical things scheduled well in advance, but a standard employee? I think anyone can see that is overkill on the part of the employer.

That's too long. I'd imagine it's outlined in your employee manual or that HR could answer that Q. "I wasn't able to give 8 weeks notice, what are the ramifications of that?"
Honestly dh have 2weeks and he was treated so terribly idk if he'll ever give notice again.
Congrats on the new job!

Do you have an employment contract?
