Do I have to tell EY that I’m quitting. What would happen if I started my new job and just drew two paychecks until EY fired me?

If you quit then you quit. If you let EY fire you and someone calls to get a reference the firm will verify that you were employee between X and Y dates and that you were fired for cause. You will burn a bridge. You will have violated your employment agreement. The firm may sue you to get your salary back while you were working two jobs. They may also contact your current employer and let them know. You will put your reputation at risk in an industry where everyone does really know everybody else - we are a true seven degrees of separation industry. So I would say the choice is yours, but one is a fine decision and the other is not only wrong and I really mean wrong, but also makes you a true dumbass

EY3, it’s pretty common in my LOS for staff to be unassigned for weeeks or months at a time if we’re not actively working to get staffed. I imagine I could go 2-3 months before anyone starts asking questions.

If you think you could get away with this without consequences you are an idiot. I have been in this biz more than 20 years.. it is a small world and those around you, including the partners, know way more than you think. Also, don’t trust that your peers would say anything.. I saw that happen several years ago with a staff 1. He was ratted out by peers for the fact that he just regularly wouldn’t show up for work. Firm security pulled his badge swipe history and he was fired and everyone knew it.. that reputation followed him. Keep in mind the small world we are talking about extends into industry as well as the other B4. I get asked all the time “unofficially” what I know and think of someone. Those are the requests you have to think about, not the names you out down as referrals. Those are meaningless as we all know they will only say good things. I have friends at all the other b4 and for sure I ask about candidates coming to EY..and they ask me about people coming from EY

EY doesnt tell of you were fired they only confirm start and end date. I would say if you never plan on coming back to EY, do it. Call sick for 2 weeks, stay on the bench for a couple of weeks, book vacation. Fuck it, i say take 4 months off for paternity too, no one will find out

Plz do not do that. Have some decency.

Even if youre unassigned, you should still be online, on call. Tho if youre unassigned for months, that's a good time to look elsewhere
