How hard is it to say thank you for the service/opportunity but its time for a change? It's common courtesy.

I agree.... I have been laid off twice in my life. The first time nobody knew it was coming. Most of the guys were happy but to me it was a kick in the nuts. I was married with 2 small children and it made me bitter as hell.
The second time was on Christmas Day. When we clicked out that morning from working nights the OWNER was standing there with checks, personally shook everyone's hand and thanked them for their work. It still sucked but I admired that man for the way he did it.
Every time I see him in the store or where ever I always remind him of that story and actually thank him because that morning is when I decided to go back to trade school and become a Machinist. Best decision I ever made.
And on the other hand an employee needs to be man enough to turn in a 2 weeks notice and continue to be a productive employee for the following 2 weeks in appreciation for being able to work for said Company.
Just how I was raised...
