Default Re: ethics of giving 2 weeks notice?

[ QUOTE ]
I'm in a bit of a strange position, actually. I have an excellent lead on a job, but it's not a done deal yet. If it comes through, I might be forced into a situation where I'll only be able to give 2 weeks.

Is anyone here suggesting that I tell them I intend on leaving before I'm secure in my next job? I wouldn't think so, but I thought I'd ask.

No, there's no good reason for you to do this. If you don't get the other job and end up having to stay at your current one, your employer now thinks of you as having one foot out the door and no longer a "team player".

Only tell them about the other job if you have a concrete offer in place.
