I recently resigned from IBM after two months of no work. Having secured an offer, I resigned on the same day.

My manager and I had discussed tasks I could contribute during my notice period but after an hour of discussion with his BOSE everything changed. They asked me to exit in a week instead of my originally proposed 30-40 days.

I had planned everything and my new job based on a 90-day notice period. Initially being asked to resign gave me a surprise but fortunately I received another offer with an early start date closer to my lead-in date.

I’d love to hear any thoughts on this situation.
