Job change and resignation
Job change and resignation
(OP)
Dear all,
As some of you may have read in my previous post, I'm leaving my current company for a railway engineering company which I worked for about two years ago.
To make the story short, according to italian law and to my salary level, I have to give only a 7 days notice to my employer before leaving.
Though I noticed informally my employer of my resignation immediately after having received the offer (I will start the new job on September 1st), he says i'm putting the Company in a difficult situation since i'm the only person doing CAD here and I have to teach my substitute (whom, by the way, he's found the day immediately after our discussion two days ago) for a while.
I do not want to leave the Company abruptly without helping the guy who's going to replace me, but I'm feeling tired and a little bit upset since I would like to have a short holiday in August to rest before starting the new job. In addition, in my case their former CAD designer came to teach me only two or three times in total, so there was never a formal (or at least informal) teaching for my position (lack of formal teaching, according to my experience, is the norm in small italian companies).
I do not want to leave bad memories, so I would like to find a compromise, such as, for example, leaving August 21st and being available the next week only if really necessary. I also told him that I would be available on Saturday in September if necessary.
What are your thoughts?
Thank you for your kind advice.
Stefano

RE: Job change and resignation
One thing to consider is that they hired what they considered to be a QUALIFIED employee in relatively short order, so they don't appear to have particularly stringent requirements on that employee.

I assume you'll be compensated for any time you give them?
Your proposal seems pretty generous as IRstuff said.

RE: Job change and resignation
In my case my contract foresees for me to start from first level and finish at the third level (this is called an apprenticeship contract), which is not a high level since the maximum is 7 and, in theory, graduated people like me should be employed at least at the 5th. So there is a strong discrepancy between my level and my actual importance for the Company (and believe me this is not uncommon).

Anyway, I resigned this morning, my last day will be the 21st. My boss isn't happy but I had to find a compromise between my and their needs.
Thank you for your kind advice.
