1. Emsr2d2 revised 'would' as 'will'. Would someone please explain why it looks wrong to me to use 'would'?

Shouldn't it be subjunctive mood here if there's 'hope', 'wish', etc.?

2. I personally would write 'I hope everything would be great if I left my job one week earlier' , instead of 'causing inconvenience'. I mean I prefer writing something positive. Is such an expression usual in the culture(s) of English-speaking world?

1. Because it is wrong.

No.

2. That's not correct. As a rule, don't use would after hope when you're talking about the future. Use will.

Use would only when the hoping is in the past.

I just looked up some grammar explanations which say 'wish' can be used with subjunctive mood.

For example, I wish you would be better.

Then, go back to that sentence I have been asking, is it correct to say 'I wish my leaving would not cause any inconvenicence' in that context?

And is it correct to say I wish my leaving will not....

1. jutfrank has just told you that your sentence ('I wish my leaving would not cause ...) is wrong. It's still wrong.

2. "I wish you would be better" is not a good sentence if you mean something like "I wish you a speedy recovery", or "I hope you get better soon".

3. No, you need to say "I hope my leaving will not ..."

Ah, okay. I see you're confusing hope and wish.

Yes, you can use the subjunctive with the verb wish. But not with the verb hope. They have quite different meanings.

When you want to talk about something you want to happen in the future, use hope + present simple, like this:

I hope my leaving a week early doesn't cause any inconvenience.

When I wrote my letter, I wanted to make it clear that I hoped my leaving would not cause any inconvenience.
I am writing this letter now, and I want to make it clear that I hope my leaving will not cause any inconvenience.
