Unless you find yourself in the kind of structure and nice working atmosphere where they'd have the decency to give you advanced notice that you you we're going to be fired/laid-off so you can prepare, you probably shouldn't freely offer to do the same after you quit.
- thorax 17y agoSo severance pay is something akin to that advanced notice?
- brm 17y agoI'd agree with that, my thoughts are if your employer doesn't provide the people it lets go with a cushion (advanced noticed or severance pay) then the employee who leaves is in no way obligated to do something the employer wouldn't do for them
- stuff4ben 17y agoObligated? No, no one can force you to leave with notice unless it was contractually enforced. However, it is common courtesy. And you refer to "the employer", who exactly is this? The CEO? Your direct manager? The board of directors? A lot of times the ones who have to let people go are not the ones responsible for the decision. Your boss may not have wanted people to get cut and may have totally disagreed with the way they're being forced to do it. But being the self-entitled person you seem to come across as, you're gonna stick it him and the rest of the coworkers you leave behind? That's fine, you're entitled to do that. But more often than not, karma is a mean bitch and she will come back and kick your ass.
- buugs 17y agoThese people are leaving for better jobs that they already got without that reference and are probably long term workers as long as you don't keep pushing and pushing cuts to see if you can.
- brm 17y agoEmployment is like any other relationship. If it has been a good one that has run its course, then sure you act with courtesy. However, if its been a bad one like the ones in the article appear to be then you don't owe anyone anything.
