#quitting

For people who quit T without a severance but have some pension, what are the things you need to take care of in your 2 week notice? Is it as simple as turning your badge, phone and laptop or are there any financial and documentation wise things you need to take care of in terms of 401K

I work with a massive bully. The problem is he is an architect over my state. He is toxica and is a nightmare to work with. He is a bully to all team members. Even the managers are scared of him.

Besides quitting… what can i do?

Seeing employees in D&S quitting. What have they seen and what do they know that is leading to this?

Wut the managers doin? Are they trying to get all the PTs and MTs to quit?? This place has been as depressing as a broken dishwasher at all you can eat buffet since January.

Everyone is realizing that this is a sinking ship, over the last 3 weeks, stores have seen entire departments quit, including management.

The company treats us poorly and are cutting compensation because it costs a lot less for them if we quit than if they lay us off. They're trying to make it bad for you so you quit. Don't. Slack off and get laid off instead. Start looking for new jobs now and focus the next couple months on the job search before layoffs. Take as much as you can from them if they don't respect you. Make them pay you to get rid of you.

Fidelity has now turned to a systematic process to create a hostile or intolerable work environment that has forced many long term tenured employees to quit or resign. While there have always been the dinosaurs that hung on for purely the comfort of a paycheck, we have now pushed into a full blow game plan of pushing out the knowledgeable tenured employees that care about doing a great job for a once great company. Gone are the days of Standards or Care as they have been replaced by a systematic performance management system that has been put into place to do cut costs at any expense. Clients now can either pay Fidelity to manage their money, buy annuity offerings, get farmed out to WAS advisors or find a new home for their assets. Fidelity has now become just another Southwest Airlines, another choice for customers to make based on cost-benefit and convenience. A business decision for all of us to absorb and then make a decision for what's best for us as the days of being Fidelity's most valued assets as an employee are over. Best wishes and good luck to all!

Wouldn't it be smarter to wait for severance?

I keep seeing people say they’re ready to walk, and I don’t get how that’s supposed to work right now. Jobs aren’t exactly everywhere, and quitting without something lined up sounds risky. I’ve picked up a whole new set of skills and still can’t find a place to apply them. A lot of the talk about leaving comes across as venting, not something most people can actually pull off.

Hi, I’m considering leaving Chevron and noticed some employees wait until after April 2. I’ve heard this relates to dividends being credited to retirement accounts. Is that accurate, and does anyone know why that date is significant?"

At this rate, I will not be surprised if Cigna starts taking away some perks like 401k match.

Cigna might start reducing match %, freeze 401k program for sometime or even completely remove 401k benefit to force people to quit.

I know profit sharing pays out on the 13th, but with all of the recent changes, I'm even more over it than I have been.

As long as we made it through 12/31/2025, are we good to leave whenever before 2/13 and still get profit sharing?

I could put in my two weeks on Monday, and that'd be fine and dandy... unless boss is feeling extra punchy and decides to make me walk.

I've already got a new job lined up, just trying to figure out timing of everything and how much longer I want to stay in this toxic environment with SLT who doesn't care about us.

Terrible work environment and have another job lined up. Can anyone offer any advice on how to handle the exit process? What do they do, what can I expect?

It's just the fear of the cr-ppy job market that's keeping me here, nothing else.

Does anyone know if TI pays out TBK if you give proper 2 week notice with a quit date? Will they walk you out and still lay you for 2 weeks or do they walk you out and you’re done?

Quitting this dump this year. Can I take my 401k and pension and roll them into my next employers 401k plan?

If I rage quit same day how do I do this?

May seem like a d-mb question but I’m concerned they’ll pull some schiesty BS

50 weeks left. Hang in there.

For those of you that signed that retention agreement after last year's (or a previous year) bonus and you've quit, what actually happened? We signed to say that we'd pay it back, but what actually happened?

What if every AVP, VP, and SVP quit at the same time? You think Ds and MDs know what to do? They hardly lift a finger and will have to actually work to earn the money they get 😂. Great idea to float with our teams.

Anyone know what’s going on at 668 meridian? Supposedly everyone has quit or is fixing to quit including the store manager has quit already . It’s real bad ya’ll!😳😳😳

2 weeks notice or quiet quitting?

With the ‘generous’ and ‘industry competitive’ but below inflation pay rises for
most people; are you expecting another exxodus? Do people realize the company want you to quit so they can replace you in India or Malaysia

I work as a Coding Analyst I’m going to be quitting. Anyone know if they make work out the two week notice? Debating whether to give a 2 week notice or just quit the last day I would want to work.

I am miserable in my new role, the new office environment, and the new (poor) attitude that seems to come from every senior manager. I'm planning to quit, but if the next layoff isn't too far off it may be smarter for me to wait. Does anyone have reliable information as to when the next one might be?

Heard over 300 more stores will be sold off to agents in the coming year. Polish your resume and get out while you can. They'll either pip you out with these high quotas or you'll be working for an agent.

I want to quit so badly and I even have got interviews elsewhere but I’m held back by repaying my tuition. I have one more year for the two years so maybe I’ll just hang on til then. I hate this place so much.

There is a mass exodus of all job categories both in stores and at corporate in the state of North Carolina, dozens and dozens of jobs vacant in all areas (from high level corporate to entry level sales associate) all areas in almost all stores in the state of North Carolina.

Between quiet quits and full layoffs, I’ve lost track of how many faces are gone. Every week another familiar name disappears and the workload just piles up. At this point I don’t know how we’re expected to keep delivering with so many holes. And the cuts keep coming.

2,512 Days and now I am FREE!!!!

This is becoming ridiculous.

If they follow up the layoffs with a 5-day RTO I think they'll have a riot on their hands. There's only so much people can take, and I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being the straw that breaks the camel's back and we see massive quitting, which is probably the goal, along with massive walkouts. If cops can have the blue flu, we can have something similar as well.

When you give 2 week notice and they let you go immediately, do they pay you those 2 weeks>?

What about unused PTO?

Anyone here planning on quitting come January when RTO goes into effect?

My stomach was doing backflips the whole time, even though I know walking away is the right call. Sometimes quitting feels even harder than staying in a miserable job, but I can already feel the weight lifting. Goodbye PepsiCo, I truly wish I’d never known you.

That’s it, yall. After 8 years here in IT, I’m quitting with nothing lined up. I genuinely cannot do this anymore. Sure, the market is horrendous, but I have enough saved up and my health matters more. I’ll be free to apply to jobs and network in peace, and able to focus on what matters in my life. Godspeed to anyone else who is stuck in this “company”. I should’ve just AEOI’d but i was naive. Oh well, new chapter! Sayonara! ✌🏿

What’s happening with Alaska?
Seems like a big nothing so far, with people leaving the team recently for other companies.

Has anyone quit their job without giving a two week notice? Don’t want to keep waiting around to get laid off, and at this point I don’t think that a two week notice will do anything. They don’t hire internal US employees so I don’t think they’ll ever hire me back for any position nor would I ever want to work here again.

To get people to quit at first, then fire the rest that don’t follow the rules.

Her name is Natalie H@wke and she made her post public (which is going somewhat viral on LinkedIn):

This week, I walked away from Ford for the last time.

It was a difficult decision to leave my team, especially my developers, but a necessary one to protect my values and well-being. The environment had become draining, disheartening, and fundamentally misaligned with the kind of work I believe in.

I stayed as long as I did because of my team. They deserved someone who would fight for a better environment. I still love Agile development and product management. I still believe in both. But there was no longer space for either to thrive.

Ford promotes a concept called the Ford Operating System. A set of values known as FordOS Behaviors. On the surface, they look great. But dig just a little deeper, and the contradictions become impossible to ignore:

🔹 Excellence
• Deliver it — but only exactly how you're told
• Own it — but not too much; don’t challenge leadership

🔹 Focus
• Do only what matters — unless leadership mandates otherwise
• Bias for action — only if it's controlled from above

🔹 Collaboration
• Seek to understand — only with permission, and only if the questions don’t ruffle feathers
• Solve together — so long as the solution aligns with what’s already been decided

The worst part? This creates a culture of fear, where performance reviews aren’t based on impact or outcomes, but on obedience. Living the FordOS values in practice often leads to being labeled “difficult” and being punished for it.

That fear runs especially deep in Ford’s RTO “strategy.” Employees receive threatening emails if they fail to meet RTO mandates. But there simply isn’t enough space, not enough desks, not enough parking, not even enough chairs. On the first day back, people had their cars towed because the lots were overrun. Others have been forced to work from cafeterias, couches, barstools, even microwave counters. Fistfights over desks have been reported. And yet leadership insists: “We do our best work face-to-face.”

Who gets into a literal fight over a desk?
Someone terrified of losing their job over a mandate they have no control over.

And toward the end, I finally saw what so many women in tech have long experienced. I used to believe that things had improved, because I hadn’t faced it myself. It turns out I had simply been lucky to work with leaders who valued my contributions. Respected my voice. That luck ran out. I found myself being interrupted, second-guessed, and talked over.

Through it all, I worked with some of the most brilliant, thoughtful people I’ve ever met. But even they couldn’t do their best work with their hands tied by outdated mandates and a culture that rewards compliance over innovation.

I didn’t leave because I gave up. I left because I know I can do more, create more, lead more, and thrive more outside of a system that stopped valuing individual contributions.

I don’t know what comes next. But I’m ready to find out.

And to all the people I met along the way: Thank you. I’ll always be grateful.
