文化的背景

In Serbia, quitting a job is often a very emotional process. It is common to have a long conversation with your boss about your personal reasons before handing in the paper. The 'otkazni rok' (notice period) is strictly followed. If you 'date otkaz', you are usually expected to work for another 30 days to train your replacement. Older generations in Serbia might view 'dati otkaz' as risky or irresponsible, as they grew up in a system where job security was the highest value. In the Belgrade tech scene, 'dati otkaz' is seen as a positive step for career growth and is celebrated among peers.

⚠️

Don't mix up the verbs!
