I don’t think rescinded offers are very common, certainly not as a percentage of job changes. While you are entitled to not give notice doing so puts your managers and coworkers in a bit of a lurch. This accumulates ill will that offsets all the work you did to generate good will. As your career advances your best way to find a good job is through your network of past managers and coworkers. Burning through your goodwill as some sort of social protest against the state of tech employment is certainly an option, but it’ll hinder your chances of getting greater roles of higher trust based on your reputation vs cold applying into places that don’t know you. As a manager I’ve always asked people to go home immediately throughout my orgs, though. I appreciate when people offer notice and I’ll pay them for a period to be available if we need it, but ultimately: * a dead body stinking up the team doesn’t help * if you need someone for two weeks to transition work, you aren’t managing your teams well to begin with. Everyone should be important but no one should be indispensable.
