Employed brehs: What do you do when an employer ask you....
- Thread starter Klyk21
- Start date
Coming from someone who is currently in a management position professional courtesy is not as important if your NEXT job is willing to make an offer
If they want you to start immediately you tell them you can start immediately (if you want the job). If you leave job A for job B and then down the line try to move up again to job C, job C isn't going to contact job A about "how you left them" if you build a positive work history at Job B (years good track record etc.)
I've interviewed (this year) people who said that they needed "time to consider" if we offered them the job and immediately
them as a prospect. Hired a guy on my team currently who said that this job was exactly what he wanted to do and that he wants to start the job yesterday.SadimirPutin

This sounds weird as fukk
Any future employer should expect that you will have loose ends to tie up at your old position
What is SO URGENT about the new position that they dont allow you to extend some courtesy to your old employer?
Feels like some details are missing

Would your current employer give you two weeks' notice before firing you?
If not, fukk them and take the next job you're offered

Tell them your leaving to work for a competitor and give your two weeks. Policy is they'll pay you for your two weeks. It immediately ask you to leave

Is it that hard to lie?
Just say you had a immediate death in your family and you can no longer function on the job properly.

I'm at the point where I'd tell them two weeks then after two weeks tell my current job, fukk this I'm leaving. 
It aint the 70's or 80's when jobs were a dime a dozen and places treated and paid you decently. Back then people would work at the same place until they died.
Tell them immediately and you already told your job your looking elsewhere

If they don't observe 2 weeks it's probably a scam. What kinds of companies are these? Ask them would they appreciate their employees up and leaving the same day?

Definitely
And I am not giving notice until I have a document stating my position and terms of employment anyway........one that can hold up in court
Unless they do things round the OP's parts very differently

Keep in mind it depends on what state you're in. Most states are entirely "at will" but you could possibly sue for damages/lost wages if you have an offer and they rescind it without good reason.

Cool
I am not an American so I am not an expert on the employment laws...
But at the very least they would have to make a good faith effort to show me that the job was serious..certainly a formal job offer before I would just give notice
And certainly if they didnt accord me time to attend to certain things before entering a new position...that would set off warning bells in my head..There just is not anything professional about that
You should give proper notice. That's 3 years on your resume you won't be able to provide a reference for down the road. If it's some cheesy PT job and you don't plan on ever using them as a reference then bounce. Maybe give em a day or 2. If you have vacation owed to you, you can reduce the notice time too. Should always leave a company in good standing.
