Do y’all give your notice before or after the background check clears? Nothing is going to pop and I really want to quit, but feel kinda weird about it before knowing 100% it clears

Sadly I knew this was going to be the answer, I just had to see someone else write it. Well, looks like I’ve gotta find some shi*t to keep myself busy on the bench with until this clears

All good points. I’ll wait it out.

After, it’s a contingent offer until it clears.

Why does it have to be so agonizing? You don’t have a relationship with your people manager that allows you to be transparent about how you feel and that you’re looking? Do people only split or divorce only once they’ve 100% confirmed they found a new mate? 😄

Sure SC5. I’ll just tell my boss that I’m quitting, but not yet, because I need my background check to clear first, so please keep me on staff for a few more weeks, but I’m definitely quitting if/when it clears

OP - What market?

Atlanta

OP, if you got nothing to hide, then your background check will clear. Go ahead and turn that notice in.

Best of luck OP!

Our firm told everyone no bonuses this year due to the pandemic. However, people like myself with high utilization received a “bonus” in terms of a gift card. My director notified me of this, but the other day my boss was mentioning how no bonuses this year really sucks. I was told by the director to not mention it to anyone but I figured if anyone knew I got one it’d be my boss. I feel super uncomfortable now because do I essentially lie to my boss because I’m not supposed to talk about it.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
