I’m leaving Microsoft and trying to determine when to share the news. I’m heading to a competitor, so I will likely be walked out the day I share. Lots of people on Blind and people I know here say I will still receive my bonus even if I leave before Sept 13th. Is there any possible way to confirm this? Thanks.
I have always been told if you are going to a competitor that it is best to at least tell them that, perhaps legal reasons. Now when, I dont trust companies to do me right.
Sounds like you’ve received bad advice.
You can share information anytime after you get your numbers. Nothing changes after they are locked. Been there done that
You will get your bonus if you are employed till July 1st. But wait till after 2nd week of August to give your 2 weeks notice. If you want to get paid for 2 weeks but don't want to deal with transition then tell them you are joining Google/Amazon. x-microsoft here
Why share where you are going? Dont ever share. Just say you have received multiple offers and has not made a decision yet.
Exactly. You have no legal obligation to share. Just don't do anything shady that will cause your current employer to come after you after you've quit.
