I am starting a new job on June 1st- today is April 28th technically in more than a month
but my New prospective employer have asked me twice if I have given my current employer my notice.
After background check and the employment letter is signed and done.
and apparently the new employer announce weeks in advance about the new employee- isn’t this odd?
The tricky part is this new employer is a competitor in one of the categories to my current employer hence I am hesitant to announce before 2wks notice because they might even walk me out due to competition AND there are other people in this new employer who knows my current co workers
Question1- why the new employer would even want to announce weeks in advance? This is the first time i hear this in 13yrs of my career. I worked with many big companies this was never asked twice month in advance- Is this common??
Question 2- how can i tell this new manager that i will only tell them 2 wks in advance and tbh i dont want this announcement to go weeks earlier.
Hope someone with some HR experience can help on the above with their perspectives
