American Employee: What Constitutes A Resignation (reddthat.com)

A sudden exodus of employees is causing leadership to panic and suddenly puts me under a microscope with questions like:

Are you going to leave?
What can we do to keep you from leaving?
Do you see yourself here in 1 year?

These are all semi valid questions to ask in the best interest of the company. But I’m curious how this information could be used.

This all got me thinking – at what point could – “no - I don’t see myself in a year” be used as a resignation with a 1 year notice – and then terminated after ~3 months and be ineligible for unemployment since you “technically” resigned.

As a rule when talking to management you love the place you work, 5 years? You'll be there in ten

I mean unless you have complaints you really feel you need to raise

They won't tell you if they're planning on firing you. You take the mandatory notice you must give as a target and never give more notice than that.
