Hi all, is it fine to tell my boss that I'm leaving if I do not get my expected pay raise?
I've been direct to my boss all the while. Reason is to allow him to start preparing for backups and operations won't be impacted without me.

Will they sack me for doing so?

Thanks aurora97 for taking time to feedback on my post.

In this case I'll wait until I get a job only tell my boss.

And answer to your thoughts:
1. When I have issues or not happy with my job, I'll just tell my boss about it.
2. Depends on situation. If it's within his control yes. But in most cases my boss couldn't do much due to company direction. (My boss is 1 level above me but 5 levels below other bosses)
3. Certainly not.
4. Yes, my company has high turnover rate.

Hi all, let say my notice period is 2 months, if I leave 1 month earlier then I'll need to pay 1 month salary.

But I would like to know if we can take unpaid leave during the 2 months notice period?

Thanks.

Hi all, let say my notice period is 2 months, but new employer is willing to pay 1 month notice for me, I should state my last date as 1 month later or 2 months later?

Thanks.

Hi all, need advice here... I tendered my resignation last week and last day should be end of Sept. I've confirmed with future employer that be starting my new job on 1st Oct.

However manager approached me today and advised me to take layoff package instead but end date will be another month later (end of Oct). I was asked to negotiate with future employer if I can join 1 month later.

If go by layoff package, I will be compensated in terms of $$, but I heard those that took layoff package will not be allowed to re-join current company in future.

And after talking to management, they seems prefer me to take layoff package more than standard resignation.

I'm still figuring out whats the logic they are doing this... have yet to receive terms and conditions regarding the layoff package too...

Perhaps someone here can shed some lights for me...

Thanks in advance.
