I have a friend/coworker that got a new job. She is worried that giving notice will get her fired. so she's going to wait til the "last minute" to tell managment. This means the rest of the department gets screwed- especially me cause I have to cover until a replacement is found. The other girls that know want to say something also. We've asked her to tell so that they can get a replacement trained BEFORE she leaves but she refuses...... what can we do???? we don't want to get screwed!!!!

Do NOT get involved. The situation may change with your "friend". This is between her and her employer. Your friend was in the wrong on several things here: she never should have got you directly involved: she never should have informed everyone ELSE except her employer.
While your employer would appreciate the information, you are not obligated to inform them.

even if you give notice and they say that's fine you can leave now , you quit you were not fired. Most companies have found that employees that stay around for one or two weeks either don't do anything or brag about great there new job is, and some employees have been known to "sabotage" things before they leave. An employer can let you go at any time and does not have to pay for the amount of notice given. No matter how many people think these "LAWS" exist

It happens. There's no guarantee that the next person to take the job won't just not show up one day. You would also be screwed in that event, but without even seeing it coming. At least with this one, you are more or less prepared. It is NOT a good idea to rat someone out, and you can't force her. Frankly, she should have kept her mouth shut, but some people have a hard time doing that.

Don't get involved. If she gives notice and they let her go early the employer is not under any obligation to pay her for time not worked. They would only owe her wages for time worked. You never know what could happen, she could change her mind at the last minute, the other company could change their mind, and if you blew the whistle and started things going then you could find yourself in hot water.
Even though it means you guys will get the short end of the stick when she walks out, I don't think you should get involved beyond asking her to consider the result of her doing that on all of you.

I examine the finished tale and that i myself experience for you. It seems such as you worked rather stressful to maintain her gentle and chuffed, that's a uncommon high quality in adult men presently. yet seem at her movements. You tell her you pick to seperate and he or she is going off and strikes in with yet another guy. Now which you 2 are attempting to paintings issues out, she will't wreck up with the different guy because of the fact she likes his kin and feels like he would not deserve that? Do you deserve what you're getting from the region? She is walking throughout you, throughout your heart and you're blaming your self for each thing. i think of the terrific ingredient may well be to enable the relationship go, and in time, once you seem back on the marriage you would be waiting to work out it clearer. then you definately can take what you discovered into your destiny relationships. stable luck!

Management can't fire her if she puts in a two week notice. It is a polite and professional way to quit. this will give management enough time to find a replacement.

This is an unfortunate situation to be in. I think that the best thing for you to do is to mind your business. It is not up to you to report that your co-worker is planning to re-sign. As a previous poster stated if you blow the whistle on your "friend" it may backfire and explode in your face.
In the interim, you can prepare yourself mentally for the anticipated increased workload that your "friend's" sudden resignation will bring.

Think carefully about this. My mother-in-law used to say "the bearer of bad news is usually the recipient of the scorn." In other words, make sure you are prepared in case you do speak up and it lashes back on you. And be sure you are willing to sacrifice your friendship over this. Good luck!

If she gives notice and they let her go right away, then she should still be paid for her notice, therefore, she is only hurting her friends by not giving the notice. This draws on ethics, and so it really depends on how you feel about it. If you know that she is leaving, can't you and the others still prepare for her departure?

depends on whose more important to you, co-workers or friend. I can see her point and i can see the point of view of your co-workers. If you tell management, be prepared to lose your friendship
