Just got an offer letter for a new job. When do I tell my current employer?

Definitely #3, and maybe later. Depending on industry, most employers expect a 2 to 4

Who expects a 4 week notice? That would be awful

For certain industries or certain levels it could be 4. But as I said, the default is 2

Clark Addison

Required in UK, but haven't heard of 4 weeks here

When it's time, just stop showing up. They'll figure it out.

Right up until you’re walking into the new job. Then call your boss and quit over the phone. Easy.

I'd say it depends on your current work environment and relationship.

I've worked with the same company for 20 of the last 22 years.

I’ll be leaving for a competitor. The moment I say I’ve accepted

LeonMarek

Then wait til literally the last possible second

Hoax

6/29/20 9:49am

lots of issues staying in the same industry, market with a competitor, make sure

And as I found out, you can lose the vacation in some states

Did you ever sign a non-compete agreement?

Belboz

6/29/20 10:29am

I did not sign a non-compete. My industry has a lot of movement between rivals

I once gave an employer 6 weeks but they

6/29/20 9:19am

I gave my employer 3 months notice. I knew they couldn't easily replace me. Also

Always wait until you have all your T's crossed and i's dotted

Exactly 10 business days before you start your new job. Not a second sooner.

I am just about to start a new job. In the offer letter they sent me

TwinsRight

I told my employer if they want 2 weeks notice, I expect the same for a firing.

Typically before someone is fired they have been given a warning or are on

Do you want to give your current job an opportunity to counter? Do you think there’s a chance you might want to come

Mike Honcho

Take your vacation days first

6/29/20 9:35am

^^^^This, schedule vacation days starting on the day you start your new job and

Nat Gas Man

6/29/20 9:42am

I was saying it more to take the time off

6/29/20 10:28am

Unless your employer pays the unused days out to you

mwcoug

6/29/20 9:57am

Unless you want your employer to match the offer, you don't tell them until it's

donnerstag

I think it depends on your relationship with your current boss/organization

Thanks for the insight everyone. I’m gonna get a concrete start date and go from

LeonMarek

I would quit today and start your vacation early.

Always wait until you pass background check.
