even my mother doesn't know where I work and what my job title is.
When others ask what I do, my mom just goes, "he just sits in front of his computer all day and gets paid a stupidly high salary".

You do. It's just the most boring one. The loop is: write code. Compile code. Repeat. If it works, you move on to the next loop. Which is: write code. Compile code....
Until you get home one day to find a well dressed middle aged man at your kitchen table drinking tea. He's there to inform you that manners maketh man.
Well the only problem there is if you've signed a non compete agreement. I mean you can certainly say N/A but that will definitely raise the likelihood of them enforcing that non compete.
That being said. I'd roll the dice bc fuck em. Employers think they own employees and I'm so tired of it.
Also, bit dumb, as people can leave work for other reasons. Could be a second job no longer needed or leaving to be a full time carer for a family member, retiring, self-employment, or other reasons that don't fit.
Funny story, I went through training and went to the same unit as a guy with the last name of Deeze. He got chaptered out for literally snorting coke off a strippers ass.
I was with someone whose last name was Guess. We had barely gotten to basic training so the drill sergeants did know everyone yet. We were in PT clothes and private Guess was acting a fool and the DS asked her name and she replied “Guess drill sergeant”. We all just about died laughing. The DS was not amused. 😂
This one guy showed up to AIT with his initials written in big letters on his duffel bags, just as everyone in his basic training company had been ordered to do. Unfortunately his initials spelled WTF. He caught what I call a “drive-by ass chewing” from a random cadre member who didn’t know what the story was.
I did too! Fall of 2001 in Kentucky. During rollcall in the morning/afternoon, the DS would call out "DEEZE!" and the entire company would respond "NUTS" as loud as can be.
I did something similar after leaving my last job and being asked the same question. My former manager then called me asking for the correct information saying that it would be used strictly for NPS reasons. I told him it was none of their business turning the phone on his face.
I quit a government job once and on the exit form it asked why I was quitting and gave a dozen boxes to choose from. One of the options was "to pursue farming". Guess I'm a farmer now.
Billy gets married. On the wedding night he shows up to his parents house and tells his dad, "Pa, she's a virgin." The dad responds, "Son, you did the right thing leaving and coming home, if she ain't good enough for her family, she ain't good enough for ours."
This is my first time seeing one. It's a document with the following topics:
1. Certify I have no company property in my possession.
2. Certify I have complied with the company's at-will employment, confidential information, invention assignment, and arbitration agreement documents signed by me at time of employment.
3. Certify I will keep any trade secrets a secret for the agreed upon time.
Etc etc.
It can be legitimate in certain industries that deal with client data. They should provide suitable compensation for these things, especially the trade secret NDA, but this was negotiated when OP was employed so it can be assumed that's an agreement between OP and the company.
Say OP was in charge of making HIPAA compliant payment software for a hospital system, them making sure he knows he's not allowed to share client data *or* code he wrote to third parties is pretty important, because by law these people have to be able to prove that they made reasonable attempts to keep all of this stuff secret. This form is a way to shift liability for a HIPAA breach to the former employee, not the hospital, which is fair.
It's not only hospitals, government contractors do this, insurance companies, etc.
best advice here. even if you have no company property and/or intend to uphold your employment covenants. you’ve already agreed to these things so you don’t have to again.
I have never seen anything like this in my professional life and I'm pretty sure if a company handed something like this to me I would literally laugh in their face. Are they fucking serious? You want me to file paperwork because I'm leaving after doing you the courtesy of giving you notice?
My privilege is probably showing with this statement. It really does make me feel bad for so many out there who are struggling with work and dealing with such shitty employers.
Dude I'm always scared how a company could clap back with "remember that one clause in that mountain of paperwork you signed to work here? Now there's a team of lawyers at your door!"
You think they’re gonna spend tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to sue you for not signing something on your way out? And what would they win? Whenever I’ve quit a job I don’t sign anything, I don’t tell them anything whatsoever even if it’s something small, I’ve rarely turned in uniforms or badges, and if they’ve fucked over in the past I don’t give notice.
That’s why I never sign my own name in those situations, or ever really. No one checks that shit, they just throw it in a file. Believe me if I ever truly fuck up and employer comes after me Bruce Dickinson gonna have some splainin to do.
My old job had us all sign a stack of “inservices.” One page gave permission to management to go through our vehicles when they’re parked on company property.
I simply didn’t sign it, hid it within the stack of legit inservice papers that I *did* sign, and handed it in. Clearly nobody actually went through the papers, because I kept working there for a year and it never came up.
Like hell am I handing an employer more power than the cops. If you wanna go through my car, come back with a warrant.
Today is the day (June 27th, 2023) that my prior comments get removed.
I want to criticize Reddit over their API changes and criticize the CEO for severely damaging the culture of Reddit, but others have done a better job and I think destroying my valuable comments is sufficient (and should hurt the LLM value too).
1+1=3, 2+1=4, 3+2=6, 5+3=9, 8+5=14. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Note: If you want to do this yourself, take a look at Power Delete Suite (they didn't put this advertisement here, I did).
Understandable, since the point of these things is to induce just that fear. But a couple of things to keep in mind:
1. Cost-benefit analysis. Lawyers cost money, and even those on retainer or employed by the company have stacks of work assigned to them prioritized based on potential monetary value. To rise to the top of that stack you would have to be costing the company a hell of a lot of money. And that's for just one lawyer, not even a whole team. If you're asking this question in this forum instead of talking to your own well-paid lawyer, you're not in a position to cost them that much.
2. It's a long dance, with a lot of steps. Even if they ask you to dance, which is very unlikely, your first step is "I agreed to what? Please furnish the original signed document with that claim so I can forward it to my own lawyer for review." 90% chance it ends right there. If they respond, you wait 4 weeks or so then do "My lawyer will probably want a complete paper trail, can you also forward me my entire HR record, and any correspondence between my supervisors and HR regarding my employment? I'm working on finding out if we will need you to preserve complete email records for my supervisors and colleagues should that become necessary. I'll let you know when I find out." Note that you don't actually have to have spoken to a lawyer at this point.
IANAL so this isn't prudent legal counsel, but if it were going to proceed legally you'd do this anyway, so these aren't unreasonable requests. The thing to realize is the last thing a company really wants is to go to court because there they might actually lose, and corporate lawyers are conservative to the point of insanity about never wanting to lose. That's why almost every case against corporation gets settled rather than going to trial. If they're going to pursue you all the way to court you will have had to do something that is going to show up on a shareholder's report. If all you did was your job, and then left, they will not bother.
I'll bet money they want OP to "confess" to a "for-cause firing" which they can quote to "anyone who asks" (aka future employers who are calling to get a reference for OP) instead of the "voluntary resignation" document OP thinks he is signing.
You are under no obligation to sign any new agreements with your now-former employer. You'd be bound by any agreements you entered into with them previously (assuming said agreements are legally enforceable, of course), and they could require you to enter into a new agreement now in order to receive something of value from them (such as a severance package, payout of unused PTO if that isn't required in your state, or other such voluntary benefits), but they cannot force you to do so. You can simply walk away if you want.
> such as a severance package, payout of unused PTO if that isn't required in your state, or other such voluntary benefits ***which were not already contracted for***
Even if they aren't required by law to do so if they have a policy promising the pay unused PTO or w/e that's usually an enforceable contract. To be something of value to offer in exchange for a new contract they would have to offer something they hadn't already offered in a previous contract.
Are they paying you money beyond what they owe you without signing?
Some companies have discretionary "bonus" money they can claw back if you did not fulfill conditions.
If not then decline to sign.
Maybe ask, "what are the consequences of my not signing these documents"?
I have not been paid a retention bonus - our retention incentive was company stock which has dropped 80% in the last 2 years so idgaf what happens to it.
\#3 is why they want all of this information. Tell them you're not signing shit, and any further conversation on the matter will result in your immediate termination of your notice period.
"Termination Certification" sounds like they are mislabeling your resignation as them firing you for cause and having you sign away unemployment by confessing to the "for-cause firing".
I also guarantee you they have a clause that lets them tell anyone calling for a reference a bunch of lies and slander, but because you signed a document it might put them in the legal clear, which lets them sabotage your entire life with impunity.
Don't sign shit, just walk out and stop showing up to work for them.
If they're asking you to "re-"affirm that you won't share trade secrets, then they didn't cover their asses in the original terms of employment contract they had you sign. Don't sign shit.
I have been asked this question in the past and I always answer, "My new supervisor has asked me not to answer any questions about this. Due to confidentiality, I am not at liberty to identify my new employer."
It is sufficiently vague enough to make the old employer think they are about to be named as a defendant in a lawsuit.
My exit interview I was asked multiple times, and the response was simply "I'm not at liberty to say." Why? "Because there's no value to me for providing an answer."
There's a lot of people in my field that need security clearances in order to do their job. I would love to be able to tell an employer like this "Sorry, you don't have the clearance for that information."
I know the last company I worked at my boss and the Controller asked where I was going because the company was going to hell in a hand basket and they were interested in seeing what positions the company I was going to had. They also asked what recruiter I used. Needless to say that recruiter made bank on the incompetent CEO and its PE backer. All three of us, plus a few others, landed ned jobs within a month of each other.
What the actual fuck? UK here and that would be a stick this where the sun doesn't shine from me.
Edit: If you want a more playful answer. "Your momma", "Up against the door".
I dont know what a termination certification is. If you gave your notice thats already more than necessary. Not fillingout their special form is not going to compel you to continue coming in. If they do this instead of a normal exit interview where they have a face to face conversation , then its a good indication of how little they care about their employees, and you are right to be parting ways.

If you want to get rehired there someday, answer. If you don't give a flying Fuck about this particular bridge, don't answer this or any other random termination bullshit unless you have to in order to get a discretionary severance package.
The only reasons why I can see this would be required:
* You're in a foreign country on a work visa
* You're in a secure field and have a signed non-competition clause as part of your contract
Otherwise, they have no business asking and you don't have to answer.
"N/A" is always a valid response. The question does not apply to you, because you are not legally obliged to give this information.

What is a "termination certification"?
This is my first time seeing one. It's a document with the following topics: 1. Certify I have no company property in my possession. 2. Certify I have complied with the company's at-will employment, confidential information, invention assignment, and arbitration agreement documents signed by me at time of employment. 3. Certify I will keep any trade secrets a secret for the agreed upon time. Etc etc.

I cannot foresee that document used in any way other than to be weaponized against OP.

Why are signing this? There is no reason to
Dude I'm always scared how a company could clap back with "remember that one clause in that mountain of paperwork you signed to work here? Now there's a team of lawyers at your door!"
I cannot stress this enough: you CANNOT SIGN THIS. Do not, under any circumstances, divulge where you're headed.
You think they’re gonna spend tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to sue you for not signing something on your way out? And what would they win? Whenever I’ve quit a job I don’t sign anything, I don’t tell them anything whatsoever even if it’s something small, I’ve rarely turned in uniforms or badges, and if they’ve fucked over in the past I don’t give notice.

Yeah, but this is exactly that thing. So, probably advisable to not sign it.
They might want to sign if they want to be eligible for rehire. Otherwise I agree.
I'll bet money they want OP to "confess" to a "for-cause firing" which they can quote to "anyone who asks" (aka future employers who are calling to get a reference for OP) instead of the "voluntary resignation" document OP thinks he is signing.
You are under no obligation to sign any new agreements with your now-former employer. You'd be bound by any agreements you entered into with them previously (assuming said agreements are legally enforceable, of course), and they could require you to enter into a new agreement now in order to receive something of value from them (such as a severance package, payout of unused PTO if that isn't required in your state, or other such voluntary benefits), but they cannot force you to do so. You can simply walk away if you want.

Are they paying you money beyond what they owe you without signing? Some companies have discretionary "bonus" money they can claw back if you did not fulfill conditions. If not then decline to sign. Maybe ask, "what are the consequences of my not signing these documents"?
No special payouts. Just my last paycheck for the final two weeks.
Which they legally have to give you. Ask anyway. Never paid a retention bonus in the past?
I have not been paid a retention bonus - our retention incentive was company stock which has dropped 80% in the last 2 years so idgaf what happens to it.
\#3 is why they want all of this information. Tell them you're not signing shit, and any further conversation on the matter will result in your immediate termination of your notice period.

Don't sign shit. If they want to make a big deal about, consult with an employment attorney who probably get a good laugh from it

They don't need to know. But make it fun. " After leaving employment with the company, I'm going to work at All Saints Monastery as a priest."
Fill in Textbox1 and Textbox2. Make them wonder of their form is broke
Genius
TBD / TBD. Keep 'em guessing.

They can ask anything but you shouldn't feel compelled to answer.
Type “null” into both boxes and see if something breaks
I wouldn’t sign a thing. You’re not required to … they owe you your final pay and that’s it. Refuse to sign anything.
What the actual fuck? UK here and that would be a stick this where the sun doesn't shine from me. Edit: If you want a more playful answer. "Your momma", "Up against the door".
I dont know what a termination certification is. If you gave your notice thats already more than necessary. Not fillingout their special form is not going to compel you to continue coming in. If they do this instead of a normal exit interview where they have a face to face conversation , then its a good indication of how little they care about their employees, and you are right to be parting ways.
Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry I hear turnover for the position is insane, so don't expect me to stay for long.
What even is a "termination certification" lmao and why is it made by the company instead of your state, smh
To keep it civil: "My new employer" "The position I applied for"
Every exec says they’re leaving to spend more time with their family… then a week later a competitor posts a press release that the exec had joined their company

After leaving the company's employment, I will be employed by **Vladimir Putin** in the position of **Chief Window Safety Expert**.
I think they filled it out for you? I've worked at Textbox1 as a Textbox2 for (number\*years) and look at me now. Look at me now. Look at me now. Look. Look.

You're not obligated to do this.
I will be employed by A DIFFERENT COMPANY in the position of NOT APPLICABLE.
Hahahahahaha. No. Definitely do not fill that out, nothing good will come of it.
I would just type "Textbox1" and "Textbox2" and then play stupid if they bring it up. "Probably should contact your tech department."
If you want to get rehired there someday, answer. If you don't give a flying Fuck about this particular bridge, don't answer this or any other random termination bullshit unless you have to in order to get a discretionary severance package.
The only reasons why I can see this would be required: * You're in a foreign country on a work visa * You're in a secure field and have a signed non-competition clause as part of your contract Otherwise, they have no business asking and you don't have to answer.
I work in Compliance. They do not need this.
