My manager mentioned a possible PIP, but I don’t currently have one. I have accepted a new job and have a start date.
Avoid getting PIP on the records. Future prospects of returning will be easy.
What's a PIP?
Performance improvement plan
For a lot of companies, if you don't give 2 weeks, it makes you ineligible for rehire and any future employers asking for references may be informed of such.
Looked it up where? I don't see anything about this.
1. Defer start date as much as possible 2. Progressively chill more and more and troll your manager. 3. Profit???
If you have a start date, that usually means you passed background check etc. Im having a hard time seeing the downside of giving 2 weeks notice.
Performance improvement plan, aka “you’re going to be fired based on your work/behavior/output and it’s on your permanent record” - people get out of PIP but it’s not good.
Accenture will dismiss you immediately if you have another job and aren't essential to a chargeable project. That kind of policy/behavior makes it hard to claim you must give notice. I would make the decision based on the people I work with, since that's who'll really be impacted by the departure.
Honestly my team is well positioned. We don’t have a ton on our plate at the moment so rolling off now should not be of high impact to my colleagues.
Check the contract. Many will allow for immediate dismissals, but ping you for leaving with less than 10 days notice.
If they aren’t respecting you, you don’t need to give a two week notice...I’ve done this a few times in my life and I’ve never regretted it, and once it allowed me to meet the President of the company, because the way I quit they wanted to hear what was really going on.
It sounds like you were strong asset to the company.
I was a member of a critical team, after I left my manager had to write me a letter of apology, so I know he got a severe ass chewing to have to write me that. I got a 70% raise going to my next job, so I was REALLY under paid at the time, and it’s never come back to haunt me as I was VERY honest with them in the exit interview, and some good changes came about because of my honesty.
Delay start date and try to get laid off. That dev package is $
I understand it if you really want to get as much as you can from the company, but it’s not the best way to handle the situation.
I don’t feel the need to nickel and dime my current employer. For a good majority of my service here, the relationship was good.
I gave 3 weeks notice at my last job. Would have given 2, but one of the weeks was a 2 day week. My boss (an awful manager) didn't care, everyone else around me appreciated it. I earned my pay until the last moment, and could go back if I ever wanted to. I also ended up with a few conversations with the company president as they were disappointed in my departure. Was wished well and told to call back in 3-6 months if things don't work out. I figure my professional courtesy and integrity are worth more long term than the 10% odds times 2 weeks pay.
My primary concern is getting paid for those 2 weeks, but financially I’m solid. Also, I’ve been putting in my A game since I want to end on the best possible terms I can.
Chances are your manager isn’t going to bother with the hassle and paperwork of a PIP if he knows you’re leaving - you become a self-correcting problem when you give your notice.
True. At that point, my manager would probably just want to follow the standard protocol and allow me to remain on the final 2 weeks.
