So I accepted a new offer. They want me to start on the 13th of Oct, they are flexible ish, it sounds to have me start on the 20th. I want to take some time to go ride my bike between Jobs.

Whistler closes the 13th, i want to ride some end of season park laps.

What says the monkey?

1. Give 2 weeks on Friday and ask to start on the 20th. Take a couple of days in whistler, then ride trail bikes down the sea to sky back to PDX?

2. Give 2 weeks on wed, try to rip some laps on the 9th,10,11th?

3. Call the 3rd of oct close enough to 2 weeks then spend a week+ in whistler area?

4. no coke zero, no care

My team is fucked with me leaving, but this move is going to be excellent for my mental health, and career growth.

Talk to new employer, tell them whatever date is best for you but and you would like to finish XYZ project at current employer to avoid burning bridge. When they accept, tell current employer you are quitting, go ride bikes, never look back, start new job.

Everyone wants to believe this but it's rarely the case.
Go ride bikes.

First off, congrats! Second, take as much time off as possible. You don't often get a few weeks off at a time with no consequence. Take it and enjoy it.

NUMERO Tres.

The 12 weeks I had off after getting laid off was the best and worst time of my life. Yay for severance packages!*

*I know this does not help you at all. By the power invested in me and the newly discovered lack of text censorship: fucking deal with it.

In all srsness....congrats and ride bikes as long as possible. I vote option 3.

 

[wiscodh]

Thanks,

I pushed out the date to the 20th. Going to take some time and recharge between jobs.

yeah dan-o, probably not as significant as i think i am, but it makes me feel good, like masturbation.

 

[Nick]

Congrats.
Option 3. Fuck work. Ride Whistler.

 

[BigBoi]

Keep your COBRA insurance forms handy.

 

[blackohio]

Wasn't trying to piss on your awesomeness, just reflecting on my past experiences while encouraging you to ride bikes!

Why does he have to give up RM too?

no cheerios were pissed in.
thanks for all the encouragement. LETS RIDE BIKES!

 

[kazlx]

Agree with the option about having no work as long as possible and riding your bike, as long as financially feasible. On your death bed, you won't regret starting work earlier, but you would very easily regret not shredding Whistler.

 

[eric strt6]

If you have no thoughts of ever going back then by all means give them the same courtesy notice that they would have given you if they fired or laid you off

 

[Pesqueeb]

No one ever dies wishing they had spent more time at work.

Lightweight.....I was off for 10 months after Boeing laid me off! Damn I was in good shape......

Unless they're penniless in retirement prior to their death...

that could also be the byproduct of excellent planning and an AWESOME retirement

Work is inherently dangerous. You should do whatever it takes to avoid it. You have been warned....
