Yes, it does happen. I've experienced it myself. As long as you are offered pay, I don't see a problem.
Yes, I think that is common. I think the fear is that they don't want you keeping or storing industry secrets that you could give to their competitor, or affect the character of the workplace since you're on your way out. But I do admit that it is a bit jarring to leave suddenly when you expected to be there for two more weeks. I once saw a co-worker who was at the company for 9 years put in her resignation and was escorted off the property a half-hour later after her exit interview. There wasn't a big fuss made about it, but it definitely gave me some insight into what I could expect when I left. My suggestion is to enjoy the time you have between jobs or start your new one early :)
Totally Normal don't take it personal at all and enjoy the 2 weeks off paid. Relax and recharge 🙏🏽
Yes, standard practice on Broker side. Take the 2 weeks and enjoy the break. Good luck on your new opportunity!
This is why you ALWAYS make sure you have all your personal items, and personal files, previous reviews, commendations, anything like that- removed from your computer and work area before turning in notice. From that point forward you may lose access at any time.
Good point!
Yes, this is very common. I do the same with my staff. It’s nothing personal, I typically support my teams wanting to further their personal growth. However, from a company standpoint it is more often than not a good idea. Enjoy your paid time off!
What’s the reason you do it?
Pretty standard industry practice. especially if it’s a direct competitor
Yes, it's a standard practice in many industries. Management and HR take various degrees of risk avoidance such as disabling external emails, restricting interactions with clients, etc. up to giving the entire notice period as 'gardening leave'.
If we were smart enough to want to take info we would secure that shift before announcements were made. 😎 But who does that IT can totally tell ... 🤠
Lol good point
Standard practice in most industries. I've seen it done in trucking operations and restaurant management too. They don't want you to steal customers or other employees
I guess the question has already been answered. It's normal and just enjoy your paid time off. I am always happy and proud for those employees with ambitions and has a specific career goal. I always wish the best for them.
It would be the most logical move and a pretty common practice at that. Just be happy about the paid time off. Enjoy your time on break.
I think it’s a great time for a visit to the beach or visit your parents! Many firms today would rather eat the two weeks and not allow you to announce to clients and colleagues where you are headed. Enjoy the time off!
Yes happens it is common and I’ve had this happen twice to me ;)
I believe this is not the first time this question came up here. But yes, very standard when you go to a competitor. Just take the time and enjoy your time off.
Yes it’s the norm in my experience
Yeah, I would expect that
Very normal! Our office goes as far to walk you out after your notice and they have given you adequate time to pack up.
