Has anyone ever been asked to stay beyond what they’ve said will be their last day when they give notice? Gave 2 weeks notice yesterday and am now being pressured to stay until one deal I’m on closes (which could slip past the end of next week, which is what I’ve said was my last day).

They can certainly ask and you can certainly say no. That said, know a friend who gave one months’ notice because of that situation.

The firm asked me to potentially stay another week so I can close out a matter. Said I wouldn’t be bothered about anything else. I billed 1 hour that week and was traveling.

Yikes! Agree with VP1. On my last day of. Y small firm I had the partner ask me if they could do anything to convince me to stay —there wasn’t. They always want to squeeze more work out of you since you’re already trained and know the cases. They’re going to replace you anyway so try to maintain your firm last day if that’s what you want to do. Good luck with your new opportunity!

Sometimes the leadership does not even inform you on the status of a submitted proposal unless we win the work. I get why they are doing it but it would be great if there was an external source/website that would share this info instead of us waiting around to hear from them.

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!
