This sucks for those affected.
Let this serve as another reminder that your (potential or actual) employer will upend your life with no regard for the consequences so you should act accordingly.
Don't quit your job until you've started the new one.
- hiyer 3y ago> Don't quit your job until you've started the new one. Is that even allowed? In India at least, every company requires you to have left the previous one before you join them.
- ohdannyboy 3y agoThere's no law against it in the US but it's uncommon for practical reasons. It essentially requires you quit immediately and without notice, which is bad practice and will burn bridges in ways merely quitting will not.
- rchaud 3y agoIs this rule for professional office jobs only? I imagine many low-income people have more than one job to make ends meet.
- hiyer 3y agoThat's probably true. I was referring to white collar/tech jobs though, since the context here was FlexPort.

- ronieron 3y agoLearned this lesson with my first job out of college as an audit associate at KPMG. One of my coworkers found out I was interviewing and told me: "...You should really let the partners know so they don't schedule you dates" Me: "But I don't have a new job yet" Them: "They'll keep you until you find something" Nope. As soon as I told them I was interviewing they were like you have two weeks. I waited to interview until our main annual engagements were over as I didn't want to leave them in a lurch and I guess they saw it as a good time to cut costs in a low period.
