<prompt> Human: My father and I are opening our own small business at the end of the summer and I told my current job manager that I would be leaving around then from my position with the company. He emailed me last Friday asking for an exact stop date, months from now, that I simply do not have yet. My father and I are still unsure of our own start date and my wife and I can not take a chance of a gap between pay. Am I legally responsible to give them an end date this early? I dont want to burn bridges, hence me telling them so early about my departure, but I also want to do the best for my family. edit: I understand it was a mistake to tell them so early What are some opinions of how I should move forward?  <response>: I dont want to burn bridgesToo late. hence me telling them so early about my departureGiving your employer two weeks notice shouldnt burn any bridges. Business is business and people change jobs all the time.
