You think you can’t get laid off a week into a new job, a month, three months? Sure you might get a little severance but, don’t count on much, and you’re basically just as screwed with as with a rescinded job offer. Except you burned your bridges before you left…
Antidotally, I had someone leave for a better offer (I that’s life), but gave about a months notice, and transitioned out of her role well. Came back about 4 months later realizing she had made a huge mistake, and we hired her back, because she had left on good terms… if you she had done what you suggested, not a chance.
- Apocryphon 3y agoI don’t endorse what the gp post advocates, but giving a month’s notice seems like the opposite extreme of the spectrum. I’ve given three week notices before and almost always it seems to make little difference, even in terms of knowledge transfer.
