So this is different as a Financial Advisor… the reason for their request in knowing where your going is due to “Protocol for Broker Recruiting”… if your moving from Protocol to Protocol, you are generally allowed to take Client names, addresses, phone numbers, and email… it also provides lower litigation risk, and a cleaner exit… meaning they will allow you to take this information…
If you are moving from Protocol to Non-Protocol, it presents higher litigation risk, and you are not allowed to take such information…
If you decline to answer, then they assume the worst…
Not working the two weeks is common in our business… we will give you the “garden leave”… and most advisors quickly go to their new firms office and begin recruiting their book of business before their clients are reassigned to another advisor…
This is standard… they’re not trying to be intrusive, they’re trying to better understand which stance they need to take… if you are going from Protocol to Protocol, you may be shooting yourself in the foot by not providing this information…
100% the right answer.
Lots of folks in this thread making incorrect assumptions.
When your employer asks where you're going after giving your two weeks' notice, you can politely decline to share that information, emphasising your commitment to a smooth transition. While it's generally legal for them to ask, you're not obliged to disclose your next steps. If they refuse to let you work the notice period over this, it may breach your contract, depending on local labour laws, so consider seeking legal advice to understand your rights.
Not required to disclose, but they don’t have to let you work those last two weeks.
I don’t think I would care if I had to leave that day and could enjoy some extra time off 😂
It’s none of their business, period. A lot of companies do immediately escort you out, for security reasons. So not finishing out that notice isn’t uncommon.

You can simply say that i do not want to disclose the information yet
Is there a reason you don’t want them to know? If so, then let them cut you loose. This type of thing is why I never give a two weeks notice in the first place
