[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am struggling with this OP. On the job market now and expecting to make a move soon. Previously i’ve been a big proponent of taking an extra week between jobs, but the recent news coverage of offers being yanked has me worried. [/quote]

I work 100 percent from home. Once people resign they basically on last two weeks hand off work and attend a few meetings and take the two personal days if still have them.

I plan on resigning my first day at new job. Will give 2 weeks notice old job but offer to leave sooner.

I can’t rush being unemployed. Plus will stretch out my paychecks from prior job.

Wait, you plan to spend the first 2 weeks at your new job still working at your old job? That's pretty unethical.

I've had employees who work from home try to work 2 jobs at the same time, and it ALWAYS backfires and they're terminated quickly. Don't do it. [/quote]

How do you terminate someone who already resigned? Why would you bother? [/quote]

New job will terminate you.  My company absolutely would.[/quote]

My current job I am absolutely allowed to work another job. We are an international company and no one tracks my time or daily work. I have strict quarterly deadlines on work to be performed. I dont have to be on line at any set times other than 2-3 times a week for meetings. If I am leaving my quarterly deadlines are meaningless.

Now my new job I heard is 2-3 days a week in office. On-boarding is remote. I also can have a second job. But new job being in an office full time not practical to work a second job nor would I want to. But for two weeks. Literally I would need to work 30-60 minutes a day on old job I would just attend the few mandatory meetings and hand off some stuff and hand in laptop.

I swear if I was shady I hire someone to do old job and hand them my laptop. I could make that last years if I had too.

We had people who just started new job and ran through vacation at my current job then called in sick or took unpaid FLMA till we off-boarded. Did not even bother to resign. Now that is shady.  People have figured out just stop showing up. We are cracking down on that. [/quote]
