@et This is only partially true.
If you announce you are going to a competitor then yes today will be your last day. Whether you actually get paid for the next 2 weeks is up to your LL6 and LL5. It's called paid-in-lieu and is entirely optional on the part of the company.
I've seen it partially paid or not paid at all, but I've never heard of someone getting paid the full 2 weeks.
@et I thought if someone goes to competitor they immediately walk out and punish by not paying 2week notice
@ef it's not gonna make much difference but why loose free money ;)
Retiring? You just make sure your Ford retirement fund is set up properly. But I think there's a point where you can put a finger in the air on your way out. No more Mondays.
@OP You give your 2 weeks notice, as expected. Then add you are going to a competitor, no details provided. You'll get your 2 weeks salary, but you'll be asked to surrender laptop/badge and will be walked out the company in less than an hour.
If losing that amount of pay bothers you then you might have other issues. A few weeks pay...really who cares. Unfortunate but whatever. Ideally you're never going back, leave on good terms if you can, but don't inconvenience yourself to do so.
How much notice do you get for retirement? Two weeks OK?
@a4 I don't remember if there is any clause about it on the offer letter
@aa I am not joining competitor and I am afraid I might loose the pay if I say so
Just tell them you’re joining a competitor, and they’ll make you leave immediately.
Is it more than they'd give you? If so, it's perfectly fine.
