Well, if you're unhappy with your job, then you quit and use the 6 months to look for something new. I guess it doesn't really help when seizing opportunities that come along (that may be better even if you're not unhappy).
- wlesieutre 12y agoIf you can absorb 6 months of not getting paid, yeah. Not everyone can, and while I've seen a lot of advice saying you should demand to be paid for the duration of a non-compete, I'm pretty sure that's not typical. Plus there's the uncertainty of not knowing whether or not you'll be able to find a job with comparable pay.
- pyre 12y agoThis entire subthread was specifically talking about a 6-month severance package, so talking about not getting paid for 6 months is an odd thing to bring up. Quoted from above: > Gardening leave means you still have a fully paid job I'm thinking that people that can't afford to get paid their current salary for 6 months while not actually working for the company are in the minority, unless I'm missing some angle to this.
- wlesieutre 12y agoAh no, I missed that part. In that case, it's just the uncertainty of what jobs you'll be able to find that would be a question.
