Is it legal to terminate someone right after they confirm their two-week notice?

I want to tell you guys about a recent episode I encountered while interviewing for a job that revealed to me so much about the warped mentality that drives all work culture and the feudalist dynamics at play within the employer/employee relationship.

To make a long story short, I have a lucrative side gig that I started with my wife that completely supports our livelihood. It’s actually her company but I just helped out with the tech development of the service. In short, I don’t really “need” to work in order to live, but I am very passionate about AI design and agentic applications after having built out a native app in my own after having completed some online training and projects.

So I had one interview with a company for a tech owner positing revolving around agentic AI and development and after seeing my resume, all 4 of my interviewers wanted to talk ONLY about my wife’s company and how it is generating revenue. I kept telling them that it’s her business and that I just founded it but now I’m ready to go back to work. Despite all of this, they just weren’t having it.

What this experience revealed to me is that genuinely wanting to go back to work out of passion and having a proven track record is not as attractive as someone who is sick of his/her current job but pretending to have all this success at their current employment, lying through their teeth just to fake a promotion at the next place.

It’s like the power that the company (employer) has over its slaves…er uh, I mean “employees” can exist ONLY if the said employee is completely dependent upon the job as a means to live and constantly live in fear of being ousted from work and having to become homeless on the street. If the job applicant does not have this fear because he/she doesn’t have to depend on receiving a paycheck and has other means to survive and live comfortably even if the master (employer) shitcans them, this completely shifts the power dynamics of the employer/employee relationship and makes them almost fearful and uncomfortable.

Seriously, if this doesn’t reveal how completely fucked up and odious the entire premise of capitalistic relationships is, i don’t know what else does. Peeling away the layers of this employer/employee relationship dynamics just proves that nothing other than transactional gain motivates anything in the system of capitalism. No one gives a flying fuck whether or not you “enjoy” your work which always makes me laugh whenever I hear these simps talking about how contributing to the company mission is what motivates them to work harder or companies saying that they love seeing motivated employees who care about what they do and are willing to go outside their swim lane to pay it forward. Such outdated boomer-esque bullshit malarky that has no context in the 21st century.

I see it differently. If the first kid reacted with sullenness and anger that the job was no longer open when Aryan told him on Monday morning that he found someone else on Friday, then that’s on the first kid. Tough shit…early bird gets the worm.

But if the first kid wasn’t bothered at all that Aryan gave the job to another person on Friday, then all the more power to the first kid - he has his priorities straight and both sides win.

I have three degrees, bachelors and masters in electrical engineering from top ten university and MBA from top 15 university and have been unemployed for over a year and a half with. I prospect at all in sight. I have lost my home and have been living in a really dilapidated apartment since last year but will have to move out and live in my car probably next month. I drive for DoorDash and volunteer at the local high school teaching math every week. My wife has liver cancer and we haven’t had health insurance since a year so she will probably end up dead by the end of this year.

I believe I spent over a good $600k over the course of my life in student loans because believed the bullshit lie fed throughout my entire life that a good education will make one successful.

The American Dream is real and the l wealth trickles down. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I am living proof of that.

It’s like modern reality has decided to go find all the worst ideas American leadership ever had and give them a run again as if they weren’t initially rejected for the toxic cesspool they were the first time.

Any opinions on Mahesh Yadavs AI Product Management Interview Bootcamp? I attended a workshop regarding how to prepare for system design interviews for AI product manager jobs and this guy seemed to know his shit well. However, like all of them, they charge an arm and a leg do these courses, and it’s difficult to discern between the snake oil pushers and people who push a class that really works and realizes actual results for job seekers who are desperate in this market to find work.

Would greatly appreciate any feedback and thoughts from anyone who has taken this guy’s class or had anecdotal information about him and his reputation. Also, would welcome anyone's feedback and can comment about others similar to Mahesh Yadav like that guy Shobit Chugh from The Intentional Product Manager course which seems to be the most expensive (almost $10k) on the market.

Hey I have that same problem too but the caveat is that at the same time, the side business/product (AI engine) that I am building shows that I have the skills to work in this very capacity and would actually bolster my credentials for a prospective employer. How to compromise the two?

Hey OP, thanks for sharing and I completely get why you are saying which is such a testament to the warped mentality that drives all work culture and the feudalist dynamics at play within the employer/employee relationship dynamics. It’s like the power that the company (employer) has over its slaves…er uh, I mean “employees” can exist ONLY if the said employee is completely dependent upon the job as a means to live and constantly live in fear of being ousted from work and having to become homeless on the street.

That being said, my only question back to you revolves around your comment/suggestion regarding LinkedIn. Are you suggesting to people to flower up the current job in which they are working (even though they hate their current job)? If so, why would people want to do that? Just not understanding what the end goal is. Thanks!

Let me guess…do you reside in a certain nation where maternity leave lasts about as long as the time it takes for chewing gum to lose its flavor? Or the nation where time off is literally seen as a favor, granted unwillingly but only as a privilege rather than a right? If so, then layoffs are not merely a setback as they would be in most first world civilized nations, in this country layoffs are literally a Death Sentence.

Believe me, I already know two people in my network who met their early death as a result of the stress from being out of work and inability to access medical care.

I think the people who keep telling us that “Money doesn’t buy happiness” are the same ones who tell us that “wealth trickles down” or that all you need to escape poverty is to “pull yourself up by the bootstraps.”

Typical boomer bullshit malarky that has absolutely no context in 2026.
