[quote=Anonymous][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. [/quote] 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] You may be allowed to work 2 jobs, but not if that second job impacts your first one. I work at place with VERY flexible hours, but still, we know you are not at your best if you're working 80 hours every week (40 for us). In the few times that we've uncovered this situation, there's been no discussions on whether it's allowed or whether it's working. Just automatic termination. [/quote]
