Thread regarding U.S. Bank layoffs

Why give 2 weeks notice?

When you leave this dump, take all your sick days and then just stop showing up when you start your new job. You can probably get another 2 checks. Take back what they stole from you. #robinhood

Be more calculated than that. Take your new job, use some sick days and vacation days. Try to push for an accommodation, plant those seeds early. Communicate with your manager about your needs. If possible get a doctor to sign off on you needing an accomodation. HR has no bite and will avoid lawsuits all day long. Milk it for all it's worth. Force them to fire you but stretch it out as long as possible.

@r3 The bank doesn't give a sh-t about whether they cause disorder in people's lives after they lay them off, and I don't give a sh-t about whether quitting causes disorder for the bank. It is not my job to figure out how my work will get done when I'm gone. That's for the highly qualified leadership team to figure out. /s If that is a huge problem then the bank should have done a better job of not creating such a sh---y environment that causes people to want to quit without notice. Karma is real, Gunjan. Reap what you sow.

The 2 week notice is not for the management, but for the people who have to take up your work. An orderly shutdown, if you will.
You are going to a better place (unless it is Wells ;o)), so leave in peace.
Be happy that you are not working for Ms.Guilfoyle or Ms.Perolta feeding live crickets to the pet chameleon

@ag no, they won’t. If OP can pull it off them more power to them.

It's "employment at will" and that goes both ways. A company can terminate an employee with no notice (and in general no reason). Likewise, an employee can quit on the spot with no notice for whatever reason. Corporations knowingly sc--w people over continuously, so employees need to stop feeling guilty when it goes the other direction. Look out for yourself and what's best for you and your family. Your employer does not give a sh-t about you and it's time for it to work both ways.

Looks like Elshito strikes again, went through and downgraded all the posts. What “trouble” would you get in for having paychecks overlap? That’s super common when companies pay out severance or vacation (a lot of times it’s paid out following the normal pay cycle instead of a lump sum). Plus how would the new employer know? Did they hack your bank accounts or something? Why give Bank of India the courtesy, they certainly won’t give you a 2 week notice when they fire you.

@ag Not true! Go ahead, take your time because they won't pay you for it and US Bank is an at will employer and certainly doesnt fairly give its employees two weeks notice.

Don't give bad advice to people... not only can you get in trouble if the paychecks overlap, the new place where you go to will look at this behavior negatively if they find out.
