General advice before was to wait until you’ve signed the contract and have a start date before quitting your current job. Now you have to wait until you actually start the new job before you quit the old one?
I mean, we live in a hellscape. Even if they had given him a start date, they can still fire him at any point for no reason. Labor has almost no protections (in the US, at least). It would be only slightly less bad to accept the new job, take it, quit the old job, and then get fired.
I’d rather we have like basic income, free health care, and public housing, so people don’t need to worry about dying because some capitalist is willing to hire them.
Honestly I’ve lined most of my jobs up where theres slight over lap and all of I’ve been able to get out of my last few days early and atleast be covered for 2-4 weeks because ill still be get my paycheck from my previous job as im starting the new one.
Ive been doing this for 9 years and been at 4 different companies.
Seems wild to me to just quit a few weeks about and leave the gap but im also a financially the traumatized millennial.
Seems an argument for “over employment”, or at least taking a leave from current job to work second.

And even if you do start the new job, most jobs have a probationary period around ninety days where they can just let you go for no reason at all.

And after the 90 days they can also let you go for no reason.
Well, except for the few things which are legally protected such as your race in which case they have to make up a different reason to write down first before kicking your ass to the curb.
