Leaving, but not leaving yet: etiquette?

I left a job to go to full time ed. It was a job I hated but told my boss as soon as I could, then formally handed my notice in nearer the time.
My job was offered to a temp after the date that I could not rescind my notice.
Happy bunnies all round.

I don't think you could legally rescind it if the company didn't want to allow you to, regardless of how long it is.

Civil service, they worked to their own rules years ago.

I think this must depend upon your workplace.  I worked in a school, as an administrator.  I made it openly clear that I would be leaving at the end of the Autumn term (31 December).  I put in my notice at the beginning of term (1 September) saying I was leaving wef 31/12.  I considered that to be binding on my side and gave the school plenty of time to recruit my replacement.  It all worked fine - but suspect  it wouldn't in other settings.

The company say they want 1 month that what you give don't put your income at risk.


It is possible to get let go early even with over 2 years.

Any other substantial reason covers going to leave anyway.....
