I know I’m leaving my company and I’m leaving them severely understaffed but I haven’t gotten the final offers for other companies...so do I give my current place a 3-4 week notice vs 2-week notice?

Do not give notice til you sign a new contract. No need to give any more notice than is spelled out in your contract

I had a verbal agreement during my final interview with a new company, we agreed on terms and i accepted the job offer. Days later they retracted it because the client they expected me to work with pulled out. Never give notice or breath a word of your departure until your next job is in writing. Luckily i kept my mouth shut, and kept my old job like nothing ever happened. Make sure you can give 2 weeks notice at least when you sign the new contract, more if the new company is ok with it. If you feel your coworkers earned that courtesy.

Absolutely NOT! After you have an offer letter and a start date at your new place. 2 weeks notice. This is nothing personal, this is business and you need to treat it as such. For your own sake.

Nope. Carry on till you have that money locked down!

Don’t do anything until you have a countersigned Order.

You should certainly NOT say anything until you have an official offer letter with title, salary and start date on it. As far as notice, that’s really your call. It’s respectful to leave two weeks. A company might just be a company, but this is a small world. If you think leaving more notice is the right thing for you to do go for it.

R/GA1- that is one of my worse nightmares

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that. Over the last 6 months I have had to coach him and correct simple mistakes in his work and recently it got so bad that I told him he would receive a low rating in his evaluation. He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up.

I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…
