#quitting

If people would just follow through with their theats of quitting then we would have less layoffs. Every post seems to be “I’m the best employee ever and blah blah blah happened to me”. Nobody cares. If it’s illegal or wrongful termination get a lawyer and handle it like a normal person. Otherwise it’s just noise.

I was on HCL IBM Cloud Team. The project wasn't going well. IBM was wanting us to support 10 different companies that all wanted different forms of support and all wanted their tickets done differently. On top of this it was very high volume. Often on a call with one company and chat with different company simultaneously. I found it to be difficult. I was curious if HCL still has that project. When I gave notice, others were also quitting.

I was thinking about this recently, about how many people said they would walk away if RTO was implemented, but I don’t know a single person who actually did. Goes to show why companies get away with the things they do. Most people are strong on words, but never on action.

Ford work culture is decorated fully. All the high performing engineers are sidelined or made quit and ford management mostly promoting or favoring pets who are good at showcasing. I got few offers outside? This c×× nonsense is in big mess ? No way management is listening in anything. I want opnion other seniors who are at ford. I am at my mid level career now. Do you think it is high time to leave ford ? Or should wait things will change for good?

They don’t care about us at the Support Office. Everything is so Field-focused now and if they want that, then they can run the show at Corporate themselves. I’d love to see what happens if everyone just mass quits, ha!

I found a mediocre job at a not-so-stellar company. The pay and benefits are about the same, definitely not an upgrade. But at least they seem stable for now, and I just couldn’t deal with this cr-p here any longer. After a 25-year career, I’ve ended up in a place where I have to take whatever I can find just to get by. Sc--w this economy.

How did you do it? What did you do with your laptop? is there anything you wish you had done differently? From my understanding Cisco and NC are "at will", hence no legal requirement for notice.

Spare me the "burning bridges" comments. Cisco is not a bridge I want to keep. I just watched my leadership sc--w over hardworking teammates over and over again. I am DONE.

I plan on quitting in November but I have 3 weeks of earned vacation left. Should I use it all before I quit? Will Ford pay me for the unused portion? What is the best way to handle this?

I handed in my resignation, and I can’t stop wishing I had done it differently. I wanted to get out as fast as possible, but I didn’t do my due diligence, and now I’m in a far-from-ideal position. Looking back, I think I would have waited for a better offer or prepared more carefully before making the leap. It’s a tough lesson learned the hard way.

There’s no chance to breathe or rebuild after a layoff before the next wave begins. It feels like living inside a permanent storm where the forecast never improves. I'm starting to wonder if this is all deliberate to force us out by quitting. Can anybody think of a better explanation?

After I win the powerball, it’s be nice knowing you all!

Does anyone know if there are implications of quitting immediately after your parental leave ends?

At this point, I’m ready to quit without a backup plan. I don’t understand the need for a company to spy on their employees. I’m sure their controlling energy could be used in a better way?

I work in a back office operation (50K-plus, no bonus, no client facing). If I just up and quit with no notice (other than on the day via letter, per se), there’s nothing they can do, right? What happens if you quit BEFORE using any vacation days? I am quitting with a view toward retirement/no more work.
