    Font - Priceless rejection of a two week notice! My daughter has been planning on turning in her resignation at her job for some time with today being the day. She combed through the employee handbook for any policies and found out all policies were surrounding PTO payout.

    Anyway, she typed up a resignation letter, walked into her bosses office, and had the talk. She called me and told me her boss wouldn't take her notice (no reason given) so she went back to her desk and emailed her manager (her boss) and her director (boss's boss) her resignation. She said in her email that two weeks from Friday would be her last day. About an hour later someone from HR comes up to her and asked her to clean out her desk and leave immediately. Since she thought this might happen

    Font - LaFille DuMoulinier - 2 hr. ago Fun fact: in France you have 2 months notice if you're fired, 1 month if you quit. And if the company doesn't want you around during your notice period, they still have to pay you 2 months salary. So my point is: rioting works, you guys.

    Font - Darzanak 6 hr. ago That is not uncommon. Most companies that I have worked for will still pay you for those two weeks, but they don't want a departing employee to have access to confidential information, and /or(let's be honest) they know the majority of workers who have given notice are not going to be very productive. 160 Reply Share

    Font - guntonom 5 hr. ago Some companies won't pay you back to unused PTO if you don't give a proper 2 weeks. However if they walk you out like this they still have to pay you that PTO payout.

    Font - DamienThe Unbeliever. 4 hr. ago I do seriously wonder about this attitude. I mean, seriously, the employee has obviously and literally *had more notice than the employer* that they were planning to move on. If they planned revenge/retribution/lega I avenues, they'd have already taken steps/secured evidence before they hand in their notice.

    Font - Naggun 4 hr. ago This is my biggest issue. If I'm going to sabotage your business in any way, I'll do it before I quit. Knew someone who created a list of clients they knew would follow them LONG before they put in thier two weeks. They took like 3 months to do it.

    Font - LP14255 41 min. ago In many US states, once you give notice, they are legally obligated to pay for that full time period (2 weeks or whatever) whether they keep you there or not. Next, In many US states, they are legally obligated to pay out PTO. Check your laws and tell the company you will sue if they don't comply with their own policies and the law.

    Font - RavenLyth 6 hr. ago Some companies do this. I've had others where I had access to write checks in the millions and print them same day, and they didn't restrict access after my notice. At some point, it's about trusting the people you hired to do the job. They are either willing to go to jail, or going to do the right thing.

    Font - I did the same last year at my ESL school. I expected the same and was told as much (i.e. we will not give you two weeks). The director then asked if I could sub the following week, and I did (got paid), and he eagerly agreed to write me a recommendation letter when I asked. Asked him via email a few weeks later for the rec, and he never replied. Whoever says coworkers or people at work are like family is a delusion.
