gave notice

Signaled impending exit

Gave notice means formally announced an intention, especially to leave a job or end an agreement.

Employees typically give notice before quitting: She gave two weeks' notice before starting her new position.

Landlords and tenants give notice before ending a lease.

The phrase implies advance warning rather than abrupt departure.
