I will one up you, I don't put in notice until I'm 1-2 weeks into my new job. Don't really have any justification except for paranoia, which is only getting more validated from other anecdotes in this thread.
- zie 4y agoSo you take vacation from the previous job I assume?
- ghaff 4y agoBut then you're not really giving notice. Presumably the purpose of giving notice is to give the company a couple weeks of grace period to transition your work to someone else while you're still around. (It depends on the situation of course. No one may care if you come back from a vacation and quit.)
- twelve40 4y agoI would be onboard to try something like that, but how is this practically possible? you have to pose for 1-2 weeks like you're working both jobs, and then the 2 more weeks for the notice? how is that possible?
- BoorishBears 4y agoPresumably you'd take PTO for 2 weeks and give no notice. 2 weeks of PTO is enough time to justify "offboarding" any major efforts, and then you just leave. Not sure I'd go for that but math checks out
- bink 4y agoThat seems just as risky as quitting the old job, if not moreso. One of the few things employers will confirm on a background check is employment status and period. If the new employer runs the check late and finds out you'll lose both jobs and burn two bridges.
- tyingq 4y agoI think they are pretty used to stale information due the batch nature of these things. That is, employment status showing "current" probably wouldn't raise any eyebrows.
- stewx 4y agoMeaning you just stop showing up to job A?
