Will I be not eligible for rehire by HR?
-
I plan on leaving my employer for a new job with a two week notice, but a coworker has a vacation planned two weeks after I leave and there is no one else to provide cover. I would think asking to delay my start date with my new employer by a week would be reasonable, but two weeks might not be agreeable.
I don't want to cause any friction with my new employer, but I also don't want to leave on bad terms with my current employer. Will I be ineligible for rehire if I were to leave before my coworker takes off for vacation?

wrote last edited by [email protected]I doubt it would matter at all, but it depends on the size of the company.
If it's a small company, the people who do the hiring might remember the situation and hold it against you, but anywhere with a separate HR dept, probably won't even have a record of the vacation situation.

Do not delay the start date of your new job. You have given your notice and have a new job lined up. There is no action needed. Any place worth a damn would not hold it against you won’t delay your departure.
Your current and soon to be ex-co-workers comings and goings are not your problem.
Now as far as being rehired by your current place. That will be based on how good of an employee you were and the scarcity of your skill sets.

It's a large company. My coworker would definitely be forced to cancel their vacation once I leave.

No background check will go that deep.
You have given your notice. You have given the traditional two-week notice. You move on.

Depends on the employer, but you don't owe them anything.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I get your point, but I saw the background check report for my current employer and they asked all my previous employers from the last seven years whether I was available for rehire.

That’s the company’s problem, especially for a larger one. If a large company can’t handle having two people away at the same time, be it temporarily or permanently, that’s a problem with their staffing practices and not you or the other employee.

Hate to be that guy, but it’s not your problem. Your manager can probably cover that if absolutely needed, or he doesn’t have the skill set to be the manager.

Unless you stab your boss and set fire to the building on your way out the door, you can have zero worries about your end of employment details showing up on a background check.

Asking and caring can be very different.

Just proceed as planned. If the company is so fragile it can't survive one week without someone to cover a position, well it's in such dire straits that it's going to be out of business within a year anyway. If you company survived Covid, it can certainly survive this.

That's true. The company has had some layoffs in recent years and my manager even admitted that they just needed me to cover for vacation.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I wouldn’t be concerned about that. Businesses are strongly discouraged from badmouthing former employees unless you did something explicitly terrible or criminal. Worst case scenario is they would give no comment if given as a reference.

What the fuck do you do?
I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing.
As an employer I wouldn't even confirm someone worked for me unless they had personally asked me for a reference, and even that only applies to recent employees. I wouldn't act as a reference for someone 5 years later.

Others have already explained to you on what you should do
But holy shit has OP been conditioned into wage slavery.
Until these people get woke about the class war, we gonna keep getting fucked hard.

The point of two weeks notice is that they should be able to replace you in that time. The coworker's vacation is two weeks after the end of your two weeks notice. That's four weeks for the company to figure shit out. Really, really not your problem.

Wow, what do you do, bodyguard?

This isn't your responsibility. Your "obligation" (if you can even call it that since its optional) is to only provide a 2 week notice unless the standard is different in your field (for example my mom's work as a notice that is typical to a month notice, which is written in her contract and she loses a chunk of pay if she fails it)
Other employees vacation isn't your responsibility, and honestly if your previous work did hold that against you, it isn't an employer you would want to go back to anyway. I think requesting your new employer waits an additional 2 weeks will look worse on you then if you left your previous employer hanging.
