Has anyone experienced or know of someone who has put in their 2-3 weeks and the current employer then just says don’t come in anymore but we will still pay you anyway?

Happened to me in a previous firm. Not common, but it happens. I enjoyed the time off with an impromptu vacation

Yeah, my first employer was like this, part of policy. I also pissed off the CIO at the time enough to make them use the clause.

Thanks everyone for the replies

I’d be all about that

Happens all the time. We dont want the employee to have access to our data and assets, etc etc. Its really a free vacation for you!

Hi guys currently I'm working in a project with very stringent timelines. Sometimes we need to put more than 13-14 hrs each day. There are 4 members in my team. Two are involved in database prt and me and my lead are involved in the front end and middle layer prt. Somehow my lead is not at all pleased with my work. And even if I try to talk to him for something he is completely rude. Sometimes it makes me that I m completely useless. Even the other team members are following the lead

Born in US and have always been proud to be American, but this 4th of July I don’t feel the same. We have a 🤡 as President, completely failed response to the Coronavirus, banned from entering Europe, and racial tensions and divisions all around. We are the laughingstock of the world. Anyone else feel the same way?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
