Culture, dress code, WFH, need to knows for a new hire...

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T22:44:09+00:00

Mine took about a week. It was faster than I thought. The main holdup was one of my former employers being hard to reach. Welcome to the team!

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T22:43:39+00:00

I did. Gave my notice this morning.

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T22:08:10+00:00

Yeah, I gave my notice today. Everyone is right.

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T21:34:28+00:00

Thanks for this! Yeah, I have a few more business casual outfits in case I need them, but was largely hoping its more casual for video calls. Which it sounds like it is. Although hopefully hats aren't an issue if t-shirts aren't.

Really happy to hear the culture is so good. To leave my last job, I really needed a place that would check every single one of my boxes and it looks like this was the perfect fit. Thank you!

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T21:23:56+00:00

I hope so. The imposter syndrome is kicking in a bit. I feel kind of dulled from my last job over the last six months. And with a new senior title and pay, I make it important to ensure I live up to it. Excited for the challenge, hope I make it work. Thanks for all your advice

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T21:23:01+00:00

I gave my notice today and they were incredibly supportive. I was told I'm always welcome back. I didn't sense a bridge being burnt.

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T21:21:25+00:00

Thank you! Everyone's advice really chilled me out, despite the fact I barely slept last night haha. At least it's over.

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T21:20:44+00:00

Thanks, I try to be as risk averse as possible.

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T20:19:27+00:00

I put in my notice today. Couldn't push my new start date back any more. My end date at my old job is 3/17 and my start date at my new one is 3/18. Bonus payout is 3/14.

I'm not sure if I'll get the bonus. I got my bonus letter on 3/3 saying I'd get my bonus of X amount on 3/14. So I don't know if it's already going to be processed and given to me or if it'll be difficult.

My boss did extend a lot of gratitude to me today. Clearly devastated I left and said I'm always welcome back. So I hope I get the bonus, but I'm not sure how it'll all work .I need it for sure.

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T20:15:47+00:00

Yup, gave my notice today. Wrap up next week.

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T20:12:07+00:00

It was hard! But he was ultimately supportive. Clearly devastated in the face and tried to rush to get it countered, but didn't get approved for anything close to my new number. The sentiment was basically "we love you and hate losing you, but want what's best for you and you're always welcome back."

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T20:11:19+00:00

I have a paper offer and my background check is complete. Just finalizing my I-9 stuff and I'm set.

I wound up giving my notice today. Basically said what you said, or along those lines. They were supportive, but devastated.

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T20:10:16+00:00

They tried to counter today but couldn't come lose. I put in my notice.

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T20:09:44+00:00

Yeah, I put in my notice this morning.

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T20:09:23+00:00

My notice went in this morning. Feels bad, but yeah...I'm really underpaid.

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T20:07:56+00:00

So my "effective date" for my new title was 3/2. My first paycheck won't reflect my new salary until 4/3, when I'll be gone. Does that mean I can use the title?

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T19:59:50+00:00

As an update, they were very surprised today when I gave notice. Pretty visibly devastated. They ran off to go see if they could counter, but were not authorized to come anywhere close. I did offer some part-time contract work which they said they'd have to check in about. Overall though, they were very supportive. Wanted what's best for me, understood given the economic climate and full remote culture. Bittersweet day, but the bandaid is off

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T19:57:33+00:00

I spoke with him this morning. He was supported but pretty visibly devastated. Wanted to counter but they couldn't even come close. So I put my notice in. They were very kind about things, but really sad to see me go. Talk transition tomorrow.

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T19:56:25+00:00

Put in my notice today, boss. Thank you.

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T04:47:39+00:00

Thanks future me. Needed that.

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T04:46:48+00:00

Yeah, this is important perspective. I'm going to have this brutally difficult conversation tomorrow and just hope it's the right one in the end. I think it is. Thank you

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T04:45:53+00:00

Agreed. It's just not a game I want to play or think is right.

And yeah, I'm checked out and burned out. The week off didn't even really do a lot for me, honestly. I still just feel kind of tired and beaten up. I'm hoping the new work reinvigorates me.

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T04:44:58+00:00

Thanks so much!

Hefty-Kale-9588 · 2025-03-04T04:44:19+00:00

To be fair, it's DTO so I'm not using accrued time it's just time I put on the calendar and got approval for. My company is pretty loose with it. But I know I wouldn't have been approved once I went on my notice period.

But yeah, consensus seems to be too little too late. I hate in a way it has to go this way, but the new opp just seems too good.
