The offer letter I have (from years ago) does not mention anything about notice or "at-will" employment. I cant even remember if I signed any such "notice" related document when I joined about 8-9 years ago.
Anyone left ford recently and had to give a notice? Specifically Model-E org.
I would give two weeks if you think there is a possibility you return to the company down the road. You never know, but it will depend on your stage and age in your career as well.
@b6 You can work for ANY competitor and not violate non-compete especially if your "ONLY" skill set is automotive. One cannot be deprived of their livelihood in the United States of America. It is your "CONSTITUTIONAL" right to "NOT" be deprived of your livelihood.
one of my LL5s sent us an email: "my last day was yesterday." that's the model. rock on. rock out. peace out.
TLDR; No.
OP here. Thank you everyone for the useful feedback. Gonna hit it now. Not sure if I would be walked out. Thanks again!
@OP. I agree with most comments here. My take is that you give the 2 weeks notice on your last day, specially if going to a competitor.
No. Push the button, take the survey and leave. Resigning is with corporate not your boss. It’s your courtesy to give your boss some time, however going to competition you should be gone the day of.
Why could you possibly be leaving the best org in the world!!!
You are exhibiting your arrogance and ignorance here. Keep your stup!d to yourself lest someone catch it from you.
It would be advisable to give a 2 week notice on good terms as the "grass is not always greener". Thus you likely will want to return to Model e in the near future.
You signed an employment agreement, which probably states you can’t work for a competitor, have to give a two week notice, etc. You need to try and get a copy of it.
You should give a 2 week notice, even if not legally required. However, with that said, before the notice, be prepared to be walked out right away - have all your personal items removed from the office, etc. Also, for the exit interview, just say everything is rainbows and unicorns and don’t give any honest feedback. You need your boss to check the box for “Yes - eligible for rehire.” Don’t burn a bridge unless you have to. Now, upon giving your notice if your boss becomes abusive, bad work environment, etc. , then you may have to just leave and tell them that you will support your duties remotely. Future jobs may also ask you if when you left prior jobs if you always gave a 2 week notice and you need to say “Yes,” now it’s another story if you actually worked it, got walked out, or had to leave due to an abusive environment and support remotely. Deep breath. Prepare for the worst when giving the notice. Also, after giving the notice you could come down with a case of the new covid variant and you don’t want to get anyone sick so you will support the best you can remotely. You are thinking of others and a team player.
No
Of course not. Fire at will, quit at will. Do they give you two week's notice before you are terminated?
You can leave anytime, when they lay offs people they don't care about timing.
If you tell them you’re going to a competitor, they’ll probably escort you out immediately, and pay the 2 weeks salary.
unless you have a contract that specifically spells that, no, employment at will
