HR person: If you're leaving us, we need at least two weeks' notice. We can't have IT support staff just disappearing WILLY-NILLY!!

Me who is sysadmin: Don't worry, you'll definitely "notice" when I'm gone.

@nixCraft it's not a normal legal requirement for employees to give any notice in Canada. Pay & benefits must be settled up to the day of resignation regardless of notice, no penalties for lack of notice.

Can be different under a CBA or specific contract terms, but generally it's a courtesy for resignation notice.

Employers HAVE to give 2 weeks notice. Not employees.

@johnefrancis

At one of my first jobs, I had an accident and ended up in hospital. They sent me a letter, asking me to return immediately, because it would have inacceptable business impact if I go to hospital without notice.

When I returned to office three weeks later, they then tried to fire me without notice and even brought up that bullshit in court.

😂

@nixCraft

@johnefrancis @nixCraft Good to know. I once had my IT fellow that resigned in Montreal. The contract said there was a one month notice for the employee. He said that two weeks was usual and did not give a heck about the contract terms. All in all I'm glad he left sooner than expected.

@nixCraft The counterpoint is: Do your REALLY want me poking about in your machines for another two weeks now I've opted to leave?

@sirwumpus @nixCraft poking around, probably not.

Answering email, training people, probably yes.

Especially if the person is just tired of stuff and not actually malicious.

If I had the authority, I’d ask / offer for a month of training. You get a Cousy job with minimal responsibility while others pick up your workload. 🤔

@nixCraft we just had a new head of Infrastructure join the team. Friday, we found out he'd handed in his resignation. He lasted a month before he noped out of there.

Says a lot for our work, doesn't it? I suspect he took one look at the nepotism in the trust and figured he'd never be able to do anything of value. Good for him.

@nixCraft did you... Spend a lot of power and water for a shitty AI picture of Walter White? That doesn't even look like him? Like there's literally thousands of pictures of this character on the internet. This is incredibly wasteful, man 😔

@ellohir @nixCraft this is disgusting and disgustingly visible. I hate it.

@ellohir yes, this is very disappointing and discrediting.

@nixCraft, please do better.

@nixCraft The shadows tell me this was ai generated or modified.

@nixCraft had someone walk off a sysadmin job once back in 2012 and legal/hr threw a fit. Threatened all types of things.

Their s.o. Was an employment lawyer.

Things did t go we for the company.

@nixCraft yeah, there's a lot of pictures of Walter white to use. I do appreciate the sentiment. Maybe that was the point? Ai being the garbage that will replace the worker whose leaving?
