Offered a position at another agency. Start date is 1/2/2017. When should I let my boss know as we are closed between Xmas and New Year's? Thinking 12/12. But want to try and get paid holidays too.

Do it sooner rather than later. Don't want to burn bridges because all the top guys at agencies know each other.

For me it's less about "two weeks" and more about making sure I don't leave my team in a lurch.

Best to let them know at least two week before holiday.

I'm possibly going to be in the same boat. Hoping this to have this official so I can give notice Monday, have two weeks to transition out, and then have two weeks off.

Me too

You can't resign during holidays. You will have to give your town week notice prior to your agency closing unless you do not close between Christmas and New Year

And if you ever want to use them as a reference. I'd try to play by the books.

I don't see how holiday pay is going to work, at least not the week between Christmas and New Years. But stranger things have happened.

👆agreed. Unless you work in 2017 at all?

And if you've already agreed to the start date as it sounds you have, you don't have many options. The longer you're wait, the worse the damage.

Hi all, I’m a mom of 2 (2.5 years and 9 months). I’ve been with IBM five years as a data scientist and more recently as a product manager.

I’ve been doing a lot better lately but I’m feeling these rejections are starting to get to me. Any PMs out there willing to share any advice or connect with me 1x1?
