They even tried to negotiate with me. A 2 week notice is a 2 week notice, after that, I’m gone.

After three years of hybrid work (3 days in, 2 out) our ceo has unilaterally made the decision that everyone must come in 5 days a week. We are severely understaffed, especially with experienced employees. Myself and another guy are invaluable to the company. We are licensed professionals in a niche area so we’re hard to replace anywhere, but most importantly we are the only ones with crucial institutional knowledge – upper management knows this.
