giving notice

Signaling your exit

Giving notice is formally informing someone of an intention or decision, especially announcing you're leaving a job.

Employees typically give two weeks' notice before quitting: She's giving notice on Friday.

Landlords and tenants give notice before ending a lease.

The phrase implies advance warning that allows the other party time to prepare.
