American Employee: What Constitutes A Resignation (reddthat.com)

A sudden exodus of employees is causing leadership to panic and suddenly puts me under a microscope with questions like:

Are you going to leave?
What can we do to keep you from leaving?
Do you see yourself here in 1 year?

These are all semi valid questions to ask in the best interest of the company. But I’m curious how this information could be used.

This all got me thinking – at what point could – “no - I don’t see myself in a year” be used as a resignation with a 1 year notice – and then terminated after ~3 months and be ineligible for unemployment since you “technically” resigned.

Appreciated - fortunately for my anxieties I don’t think I dug myself too deep before I raised this.

I’ll keep some of those comments in mind. My current mindset is to just leverage it for a promotion and run with that while I start working with my network to see what else is available. Ideally the promotion will come with a significant bump in base pay and not all be time based vesting instruments.

Now’s your chance. Ask for a little more than what you want while there’s time.
