I am currently in the process of the leaving the firm and was told after giving my 2 weeks notice that managers are required to give 4 weeks per the contract signed upon promotion. Has anyone run into a similar scenario and been able to successfully leave in less than the 4 weeks notice in the contract?

You can break the contract. You can’t be compelled to work in modern times. There may be a financial penalty called “liquidated damages” which is a fancy BS legal term for a penalty that you agree to, since penalties are illegal in most states.

I find it strange they would try to enforce unless you are really screwing the firm by leaving right now suddenly. They can’t force you to do GOOD work and you would leave to industry with a bad taste in your mouth.

Is it going to interfere with your next job if you stay on for the extra two weeks? If not you may want humor them - I’d assume there is a reason they wanted you to stay on for the full 4 weeks (e.g. to wrap up a project or something)

You can negotiated it. I just left KPMG. As a senior manager I was required to give a 6 weeks noticed. I was able to negotiate it to 3. Just work with the P and set a transition plan.

Do you usually sign another contract upon manager promotion?

Yes it says 4 weeks notice

Put some FTO on your schedule

Are you going to a client? If so, make sure to point it out, might help smooth the transition. Going to a competitor? They should have walked you out the door. If HR pushes back, spend two weeks getting things together. I’d book a vacation (or staycation) for the last two and slow walk everything back. Don’t kill yourself those last two weeks. Also, make sure to track your PTO for your payout, get any licensing documents you need, and say your goodbyes. Good luck.

Wish I had the luxury of worrying about a PTO payout

Hi,
Good morning..
I joined Ey gds last week.. YOE- 4 years in KPMG. KPMG may take me back with better hike and promotion. I'm not sure. But a few got call back. So, what would I do? Accept the better package and promotion or be in EY? OR is it possible to resign within one month from EY?

Thanks folks
