[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes it counts. Can you give three weeks notice since you are just transferring groups?[/quote]

Yes, my start date would actually be a month from now.[/quote]

Then I think you're fine. [b]Spend next week creating a transiston plan to review with your boss when they return[/b].

If your boss has access to their email while they are on vacation, I would hold off on sending in your notice. No need to ruin their vacation.[/quote]

WOW you are an over achiever. Not their job to do a transition plan. Anyway... OP is putting to much thought into this. If the situation was reversed and the boss was letting OP go it wouldn't matter if OP was on vacation or not. I've seen two people get let go while on vacation. One of them the boss called them on their cell phone and the guy answered while he was driving. The boss said you were part of the RIF today... it shocked the guy so much that he had a car crash. Takeaway: don't worry about the boss or the company do for yourself.[/quote]

Good lord. Please don't listen to this person.

The advice of documenting a transition plan is basic good work and etiquette. It's either do that or just do your regular job for a month before your move - probably scrambling with more asks than normal cause everyone knows you are leaving (and depending on the organization, get pestered to help even after you transfer). If, instead, you build a transition plan you not only reduce the risk of future calls, you probably find yourself with a week or two of very little work to do before you move anyway - a nice perk.

Moreover, your ex boss could one day be in a role or division you want: being a dick and not helping with the transition won't engender any goodwill. Nor will it with the people around you who see it and likely have to pick up the slack when you leave. Finally, it's July - your ex boss almost certainly has a say in your end of year performance eval anyway.

And let's be clear. Making a transition plan isn't overachieving. It's being professional and courteous.

We should all be so fortunate PP doesn't work with us.[/quote]
