- 6gvONxR4sf7o 6y agoI’m not arguing that she did or didn’t resign, just that she didn’t say “or my last date is the 10th” or anything else that clear.
- busterarm 6y agoMy point is that that's not necessary. It's a clear commitment to having an end date.
- dekhn 6y agoThat's not SOP at Google except in very limited circumstances. When I resigned, I told my manager and we negotiated an exit date 2 weeks after. I volunteered to give up my laptop early etc and not come into the office, but they really wanted me to finish up. People who steal or leak, however, could be terminated immediately and walked out by security. I guess also if you worked on a competitive product and changed to a competitor, they'd walk you out, too.
- busterarm 6y agoAnd that just tells you how Google felt about this particular relationship. It still doesn't translate to a firing.
- dekhn 6y agoI use the term "terminated". her employment was terminated immediately on the spot for cause.
- busterarm 6y agoExcept these terms have meaning. If you're "terminated", you can usually get unemployment. In some cases even if it was for cause. If you resigned, generally you can't, barring some specific circumstances.
