Should be putting in my two week notice soon, hopefully. How does this work? Will I lose my access that day or will I be allowed to work the 2 weeks? Does company have to pay 2 weeks legally?

Definitely give notice and say you are going to a competitor.
Free two week paid vacation.
Get your personal holidays and rally bucks first though.
I just formally announced. Honestly I am wondering if my access will still work today lol. I will miss my team and the awesome people I met along the way. I will not miss RTO though.
The only thing an employee has control over is the ability to quit w/ zero day notice. If this situation benefits the employee, the employee should take action and know their reputation will not be impacted.
The company does not need a reason for a zero day notice, whether because of health reasons, new job opportunities, burnt out, etc. The caveat is if the situation involves a counter-offer, that's great! Though at WF, never heard of the company fighting to prevent an employee from leaving.
Two weeks (or more) notice is considered proper etiquette but moreso if working in a highly specialized team where the role is unique or at a company where they have invested a lot to support an individual's professional ambitions.
If that is the WF you have come to know in your career, wow! That is truly fantastic.
Either way, your co-workers/company should be happy regardless of your notice period. Nothing about employment is personal, it is a contractual thing.
Cheers to you on your future!
I'd recommend giving notice if you want to leave the door open for an eventual possible return.
I just gave notice and I am working the two week notice period. It really demends on the line of business.
If finding out that you're cut loose immediately would present a hardship, then I wouldn't give notice at all.
Your manager is forbidden from providing references, and your employment is at-will.
There's really no reason to give notice. In your resignation email, you can even clearly state that you chose not to provide a traditional 2 weeks notice because remaining employed was more important to you than risking unpaid time off.
(It'd be helpful if a manager or HR would let us know whether giving notice by itself affects rehire eligibility...?)
Adding # 7 to list.
Don’t burn a bridge. “I’m leaving for an opportunity that I’m interested in pursuing.” Don’t get into you hate RTO or your spineless middle manager or the BS with the new quota of “inconsistently meets.”
Why: RTO, wasting your damn time
Where: a competitor, that’s all they need to know
When: two weeks from date of letter
You’re welcome
- Use ALL your floating holidays. Even any that would come at end of year.
- Save or send yourself anything you don’t want to lose off your computer.
- When you resign be prepared to work the two weeks.
- Resign so that your LAST day would fall on the FIRST day (work day) of the next month…that gets you 1/12th more of your PTO that they will pay out.
- If they don’t accept your offer to work the two weeks, they still pay you for them.
- SMILE - you are making the RIGHT decision.
It really depends on your role and LOB. Some work the full 2 weeks, some remove access immediately. No one here can really give you an answer to this question that will definitely apply to you and your group. In any event, tell them you're leaving due to RTO.
If you are going to a competitor, you will lose access almost immediately. If you are just quitting with no job or changing industries, they will likely let you work the two weeks. Most states are “right to work” and there is no legal obligation to pay you or keep you for two weeks.
