I've seen both things happen.
A well respected co-worker, just stopped coming in after a vacation, and played World of Warcraft instead. He had savings, so he just played. (He did it for years)
Another co-worker, got a great offer at an exciting new place, semi-large startup. Quit his job, trained a replacement, first day at the new job "Sorry.. it seems like we cant afford you, as our strategy has changed."

Quit his job, trained a replacement, first day at the new job "Sorry.. it seems like we cant afford you, as our strategy has changed." That's just cold. You don't do that to people. I would sue. I would sue for the money I spent to move as well as the loss of income until I found another job.
- martin_bech 8y agoThat very cold, but thats the law here in Denmark. The first 3 months, you can fire new hires with 1 days notice, for no reason what so ever. After the first 3 months, you have to show some kind of cause, have issued warnings of performance, be downsizing or similar. p.s he didnt move, the job was in the same city. But he took the oppurtunity and started for himself, and is very succesfull today doing something completely different (he makes beautifull cookbooks now).
