Quick background, I am an engineer (means legally companies never have to pay me overtime, yay!) working for Company A and just received an offer for Company B. I'm planning on having my start date at Company B 12/19/22 and my end date at Company A 1/3/23.
Company A I have 4 days of PTO remaining and they offer holiday pay until 1/2. Problem is I can't really give notice as I am scheduled to work the holiday but it is a job that I am going to be lacking resources and will likely have to work unpaid overtime (One of the reasons I am leaving). To get around this, I am planning on calling off (PTO from 12/19-12/22 & holiday from 12/23-1/2) and then show up on 1/3 and work at least a half day and resign the same day. I would use PTO from company B to do this.
This would help me out as there wouldn't be any lapse in health insurance, I would get paid for my holiday days, PTO, and whatever pathetic bonus they give. If I give notice and only work for one company at a time I would essentially kiss that holiday pay goodbye and will not have any insurance for my family for the month of January. Company B only has holiday pay for Christmas day.
What concerns should I have if I go through with this other than burning a bridge I don't really care about?
