Can't face working notice

[Babyroobs]

It has been a rubbish year at work. I love my job but the team is challenging to say the least. We have been working on half staff of an already very small team for the last six months. It has been exhausting with little support.
Final straw happened today, I have told my team leader I am resigning.
I can't face working my notice which is a month.
Has anyone successfully negotiated leaving sooner?

I've found it really common for people to decide not to do their notice because of their mental health, or how busy it is. Yeah, don't do your notice, it's a huge world and it's highly unlikely that you will come across people who remember you didn't do your notice, or had been left in the lurch by you not doing your notice. It'll be fine. Incidentally, I've just ignored some CV's from people applying for a very senior role because, guess what, they didn't work their notice in a past company.

I usually end one job on a Friday, and start the new job on Monday, in very senior roles. How would you know someone didn't work their notice just by looking at their CV?

It probably depends on your industry, tbh. For me, good working relationships, personal referrals, recommendations, etc. have definitely helped me in my career. I’ve always worked my notice and trained my replacement if I could. You never know who knows who!

None of this may apply to the OP, of course, and they shouldn’t work themselves into the ground.

I wouldn't go sick unless you are sick, because your reference, even if minimal, will normally say how many days you were sick over the last year.

I just give my notice with immediate effect. I've done this twice now and I've never had any issues finding a new role that I'm interested in. All depends on whether you'd feel guilty or not tbh
