    provided it’s the kind of job with sick time/vacation time.

    And even if it isn’t, what’re they gonna do? Double-fire you?

      Hah well no, but they also won’t pay that last day. If you use PTO they have to pay you and might not even fire you that day because of HR rules about needing to be in person/with witnesses etc

        Oh. Yeah, that’s a good point. Guess I need to check my “living in a country with humane labor laws” privilege lol

        I assume they would use PTO for that day. But then I guess that means your PTO payout will be smaller, so still a net loss.

          Not everywhere has guaranteed PTO payouts, so burn that shit while you can and use the time to get a new job.

          Theres also the bullshit of “unlimited time off” where there’s not a definitive payout in places that DO guarantee PTO payout.
