[quote=Anonymous]Here is my situation: I am two months into a new job and it is most definitely not working out. I know it, my boss knows it, it's crappy. I need to get out of there ASAP and I have a few good leads on new jobs already in the works, but I know nothing is guaranteed and financially, I'm not really in a position where I can leave this job without something else lined up. But I'm worried that I will be 'asked to leave' and then, should any future employer conduct a background check and learn about my brief stint with this company, they will call HR to get my dates of employment and find out that I am not eligible for re-hire -- and I think that would be a really bad mark on my employment record going forward. So the idea of giving my notice preemptively (like this week, or even tomorrow) is really appealing -- at least that way I would still be 'eligible for re-hire' (according to HR) -- but of course, I don't have a new job yet (though I do have a very promising interview next week).

So. WWYD? Try to stick it out in the crappy job until you get a new job and then give your notice (and hope you don't get fired in the meantime) or give your notice preemptively (to preserve your record with HR) and work like crazy to get something else lined up ASAP?

Ugh. Thanks.[/quote]
