Just found out, thanks to a friend/colleague resigning, that my company doesn't accept 2 week notice. If you resign, they accept it as effective immediately. (This is a new thing) My coworker is now scrambling to see if she can start her new job early, as our company also doesn't pay out PTO when employees leave. Good to know. I will plan my exit to fall just ahead of a leave blackout* period, take my remaining leave, give my team the heads up so they can prepare (it's very much “us against them” at this company, at least in our region) and then resign at 12:01am when I would be due back after PTO ends. *Blackout periods are heavy work periods where you better be at death's door, have a note from the Dr and have said Dr expect a call from your boss if you take time off.
