I received news this morning that I landed an exciting job opportunity! (Yay!) However, I’ve only been at my current job for a short time and I’m unsure of how to handle transitioning away from it. No matter what, I’ll need to put in my 2 weeks soon. But I’m trying to sort out a plan where I could still get paid for 3 weeks and only work 2 weeks.
I’m unsure if my current job would honor vacation time in the last two weeks because they offer unlimited PTO. I could just put in my two weeks asap but that would mean I’d have to go 3 weeks without pay (1 week of no pay + 2 weeks of waiting for my first paycheck from the new job)
Luckily, I’m in good standing with my current job so I’m not afraid to ask for what I need. Though, after reading through some Reddit posts, I’m a bit scared they’ll dismiss me on the spot since my employment with them is at will. I’m just trying to be considerate of their time and do what I think would be best for me.
Does anyone have any advice for how I can approach this situation? Or any ideas as to what you think would be best?
