Be careful with the resignation notice
Be careful with the resignation notice
It used to be a great company, where we had to deal with fascinating search and analytics challenges. After the IPO, lots of talented engineers and managers left, making the whole environment much worse.
My manager asked me to notify them in advance if I intended to leave. I gave six weeks' notice and asked if I could use a part of that time for parental leave. They terminated my employment immediately.
The manager told me the reason for the early exit was that I was going to work for their major competitor. It seems some people had brought Yahoo's worst practices to LinkedIn.
Now I'm feeling stupid for giving early notice.
