Be polite and concise. Leave no wiggle room; you’re leaving, and that’s that. Thank them for the opportunity and all that jazz.
I see no point in burning bridges as you never know who you’ll see again in the future.
But don’t forget to take all your PTO.
Dafuk why are you asking for such a silly opinion as a future VP of IT?
Nope, come in as normal and tell them that it’s your last day, that’s what I will be doing. I’m in a similar situation, been with this company for only a year and it went downhill drastically the last 6 months. I gave them the benefit of the doubt that things might change for the better (also due to change of management) but I should’ve known better, because as in your case, I saw the signs since the beginning. The previous manager has left without a days notice, that should say something. But regardless, there is a major reason why you’re leaving in the first place. Why would you ever want to work with any of those people again if they’re like you said they are, making burning bridges a necessity rather than an option or a choice for that matter. Best of luck, you will feel so much better after you leave.
The three situations where I might quit with no notice are 1) I’ve only been there a few weeks so my leaving would have no real impact 2) I’m being harassed in some way (way beyond just being a shitty company) and 3) I’m retiring and won’t ever need a reference again (and it’s a shitty company).
In your situation, I would give my 2 weeks notice, probably not do an exit interview (doesn’t benefit me in any way) and leave on good terms. And I would do it for selfish reasons.
I switched jobs once at the beginning of the 2008 Recession. My second day on my new job, we had an all hands meeting and were told there would be immediate layoffs. My new boss turned around and said “I’m sorry”. I had left my previous job under less-than-great circumstances and it hit me like a ton of bricks that I desperately needed their reference now.
Ever since then, I always protect my reference by leaving on good terms. And I’ve paid attention to what happens when my co-workers leave on bad terms. They are usually talked about negatively. No good comes from that. Those previous co-workers leave, go to other companies and take those opinions of you with them.
