Just do it and be graceful about it. Dont burn bridges and if worst case scenario realizes with the other job offer, come crawling back and retract your resignation

Take PTO and start your new job. Never return to your old job. Change your phone number and email as well.

This is called job ghosting.

Can I asked, how do you know your background check cleared?
I’ve not heard anything yet, not sure what that means

So, a recruiter gave me feedback that my lack SPHR or SHRM-SCP is causing my resume to be knock out by AI and human recruiters despite my position and work history in Multinationals and being in Technology. They suggested that we put SPHR ( Lapsed). I let it lapse in 2017. What is your opinion? Plus if I were to take another certification - should I take SPHR or SHRM-SCP?

Six months ago a financial conglomerate offered me a position. The pay and benefits were really good so I took it. Now, I’ve realised this company is dangerously toxic so I deeply regret leaving the firm.

Past week my former manager asked me if I would have any interest in coming back so I said yes. Then she said she would have some conversations to test if it’s alright to bring me back in.

It’s been a week since we talked. Is it okay to reach out and ask for any updates?
