When an employer wants to lay you off, they would not think it twice, but then they expect me to give them prior notice before leaving theirs, I get that professionalism matters, but it feels one-sided to me. Recruiters, what’s the fair middle ground on issues like this? Recruiters, do you believe loyalty in the workplace should be mutual? Is giving notice always necessary, even if layoffs can happen without warning?

How much time is realistic? 2 weeks?

2 weeks to a month should be the standard notice period.

Lay off also comes with some headsup though

Some do come unannounced. I worked for a company for 4 years. During Covid, they called a few of us at the end of the day and told us we were being laid off that day. Karma insured that their stock never rebounded. They are barely hanging on.

Giving notice is just the norm. If you are in a particularly toxic situation and already have a job lined up, I think an exception could be made. It is unfair that you could face a layoff at any given time. I do appreciate the WARN Act at least giving some people an advanced notice.

Thank you for this input, it does feel unfair that employees are expected to give notice while companies can lay people off instantly. In some toxic situations, protecting myself comes first, at least laws like the WARN act give some cushion, but the system still feels unbalanced to me.

Considering an offer to go from firm (4 YOE) to become a privacy/product counsel for a tech company (non-faang). One concern for me is the potential of a recession in late 22 into 23 with the fed rate hikes. My fear is if that happens, me being on the chopping block as new in house counsel. If I stayed at the firm, I feel reasonably secure as an associate of not being laid off due to the market. How do in house counsel positions typically fare during lay off cycles? Any experiences to share?

Has anyone else felt this way? How did handle it? Is there a different career path I can take or am I destined to sell insurance forever?

Hello Fishes,

Any idea when we get relieving letter/service certificate from TCS?

My LWD was 16th September and I received FNF 10 days before. Also got initial release letter on my LWD.

I see so many issues in this organisation.
When I joined TCS after 5 days of joining they used to mail me every week for 5 continuous weeks and asked me every time for previous organisation relieving letter.
But they themselves don’t share it and delay a lot.


Anyone please advise.
