An anonymous employee has sparked a discussion about workplace exits and company loyalty after describing what they said happened when they submitted a two-week notice after four years with the same organisation. In a post shared on Reddit, the individual claimed that their manager reacted negatively to the resignation and that their work accounts were disabled within minutes, with HR informing them that their employment had ended immediately.
The writer said they had recently secured a new job and wanted to leave their current role professionally. They claimed they had received consistently strong performance reviews, worked numerous unpaid overtime weekends and prepared a detailed handover document before speaking to their manager on a Monday morning.
