I’m on parental leave and will resign before my leave ends. Do I still need to give my firm a two-week notice or should I just tell them I’m resigning effectively immediately before my start date at another job? I’d like to maximize my leave as much as possible. if I give a two-week notice, would they let me go immediately as I’ve been away for a while anyways?

I was worried about this as well and ultimately decided to resign effective immediately before my start date at another job. No regrets.

But now, one partner has become super mad and when I explained ADD, he said:

Joining a big firm next week as fully remote lateral and flying out to home office for orientation. The schedule has me in office until 4:15. I’ve already been told I won’t have any actual work. Depending on how many people are there and how it feels, I was planning to stay an hour extra but should I hang around the office until later? First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).
