Anon quits their job
(sh.itjust.works)
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
As someone who has dealt with multiple people leaving (two fired, two quit with no warning, and two with warning), I honestly don't see much value after the first couple days. So honestly, a 1-week period would be plenty, if only to give HR a chance to properly close everything out while you're still easily reachable.
Even a month sounds excruciatingly long. We have a 2-week expectation here in the US, and it's more than sufficient to get someone off-boarded, though insufficient to find a replacement. And that's fine, we just adjust to whatever the new headcount is (usually by cutting out a bit of work after reassigning more important work).
That said, I would appreciate some form of mandatory severance. We don't have any, and it sucks when the market is poor.
