| Jul 10, 2020 at 6:06 | comment | added | Darren | I think it’s great you are acting so selflessly. Kudos! I was going to ask where you are as possibly in some jurisdictions you would be entitled to some redundancy pay if you are let go, but wouldn’t be if you leave under your own steam. Your short period of service makes it unlikely you’d qualify though, but something to think about nevertheless. | |

| Jul 9, 2020 at 8:02 | comment | added | Aida Paul | @whyIamleaving That's great, can you please update the question with all this information from comments? All of it is very germane to the question, and in comments they may dissapear. | |
| Jul 9, 2020 at 7:58 | comment | added | whyIamleaving | @TymoteuszPaul oh yes. He is a good boss so he offered that to me. I did not have to ask. | |

It's a negotiation to be had for sure, as you leaving possibly solves a very problematic situation for him, so you can negotiate something out of it for you, like a reference letter for example, and flexibility in time to interview. | |
| Jul 9, 2020 at 7:53 | comment | added | whyIamleaving | @TymoteuszPaul yes and he confirmed it as much as he could. Asked me to keep it quiet though. | |
| Jul 9, 2020 at 7:51 | comment | added | Aida Paul | @whyIamleaving and did you then speak with your boss about it? Otherwise all you have is some small piece of partial and out of context information then acting on that is jumping the gun, substantially. First step would be to approach your boss in private, explain how you have overheard it, and ask whether that is true. | |
| Jul 9, 2020 at 7:49 | comment | added | whyIamleaving | @TymoteuszPaul basically I overheard it because my manager's boss reused our standup chat for the layoff conversation and I did not get around to turning it off. Life has taught me to always eavesdrop. | |

| Jul 9, 2020 at 7:28 | comment | added | Aida Paul | @SouravGhosh I certainly hope that's the case, as doing the what I think op did is a bit weird. But alas we need OP to clarify | |
| Jul 9, 2020 at 7:28 | comment | added | Matthew Gaiser | @TymoteuszPaul I think that is what the part about the video call explains. | |
| Jul 9, 2020 at 7:27 | comment | added | Sourav Ghosh | @TymoteuszPaul I think OP meant they started searching for jobs so that they can quit, so that no one else needs to be fired. | |
| Jul 9, 2020 at 7:16 | comment | added | Aida Paul | How are you technically not supposed to know, and yet you volunteered to quit/be fired? Those statements are not compatibile. | |
