Should I reveal where I am going?

I will be leaving Snap. Just thinking should I disclose to my teammates about my prospective employer? My thoughts r not to influence them on leaving. I am sure ppl 'll keep asking about this as like most probable gossip. I don't know how to avoid it or say I don't want to disclose. i am inclined about lying about company name. I know ppl checks LinkedIn and our path might cross. But, this look safe option. Any thoghts?

Donā€™t lie. Either tell them if they ask, or tell them you prefer not to say.

I still donā€™t get it. Whatā€™s wrong with telling them about your next employer?

Why do they need to know? Just like in software, expose as much as you need, but not more.

Fuck no. California is a 'right to work' state. They can toss you out, you can walk out. Are any of these people your friends? Tell them the day of, walk to IT, drop your gear, go to HR, hand resignation, walk out.

At will, not right to work. Right to work is an anti union thing and as a former union member I'm glad CA isn't.

Wouldn't this burn bridge. Reference will be bad.

Just tell them. People don't really care. It's like ten second gossip that'll lead into another topic

Unless you have a really horrible manager who will try to screw you itā€™s fine to just tell. And people will eventually find out anyway unless you have virtually no connections or online presence. Why are you so worried? Source: See people leaving Snap now and then. And we find out where people go sooner or later. If this was many years ago it might have been a big deal

If you don't want to answer now, but you're not joining the CIA or something just suggest people connect with you on LinkedIn. Builds your network and they'll get to see in a couple of weeks when everyone else does.

Depends on your team and manager. I will never say a word till the day I will resign. Fucking politics.

Just tell them youā€™ll let them know after you start and/or theyā€™ll know after you tell manager/supervisor
