We close the 3rd week of June. So I had planned on putting in two weeks notice on June 1st. Now I'm worried about being asked to leave before the end of the month.
Your situation really doesn't change. there was nothing stopping your boss from say u can leave now on June 1st when you gave him the two week notice. He doesnt have to let you stay with the company after you give the notice

Something similar happened to my wife when I was offered a job out of state. A guy that used to work with me lived next door to one of her co-workers. He had heard I was leaving and decided it was his business to run his mouth about me leaving. I wasn't leaving for about 4 months and my wife was 6 months pregnant at the time. I was livid. I don't know why anyone thinks it's their business unless they have a personal investment in the company for some reason. Luckily my wife's co-worker was friendlier with her than with the boss and never brought it up.

First piece of advice: Find out where that realtor works. Find out who her managing broker is. Once you do, ask to sit down with them. Once you sit down with them, UNLOAD this entire situation on them. Once you're done with that, ask him or her what they plan to do about it, and casually mention that your next step is the local chamber of commerce, the Better Business Bureau, and the state board of realty depending upon how he or she answers.
As far as your job, in Louisiana they can fire you tomorrow and not for just leaving, either. It can be for anything and everything. Now, that obviously makes collecting unemployment benefits easier, yes. But if they approach you, you can say legitimately that you do not have current plans to resign or leave your job without prior notice. That's 100% factual.
Even better...You can always put in your notice when you wanted to and just say that the impetus was the recent unpleasantness when you got the feeling that you were being questioned about your loyalty, blah blah blah. That would be a real kick in the head. LOL.
Just relax. It is what it is. Your real beef here is with that realtor, and I'd absolutely SLAM that biatch with everything I had at my disposal.

This x1000. I don't care if it's public info, if she's a RE professional and gossiping about shite that she otherwise has no involvement in, she should get put in her place.

I'm not advocating trying to get her fired, but there are expectations of privacy. The MLS does not list who the buyer and seller are. Her discussing with someone not involved in the transaction is grounds for her broker to remind her of those expectations.

I wouldn't be shocked if what actually happened was the realtor saw you sold your house and asked people at your work if you were leaving/moving.
Wouldn't say it was for sure gossiping instead of just seeing that and being curious.

True, but I would at least get my health benefits for the remainder of the month.
Nothing happened today. It may never happen. My bosses are typically very passive aggressive, and only really confront something after months of festering.

That's possible too. I calmed down after the initial news. The scorched earth approach is intriguing, but she has enough problems as it is. Besides I'm moving out of state, and will likely never see her again.
I've actually considered trolling my boss if I get approached. Tell them that we bought a bigger home. Vaguely describe where it is in a manner that it could reasonably fit my current city.

would two weeks break you?

Exactly! I do not know why people think a 2 week notice is a contract. It is a common courtesy for both parties involved.
You can be an arse and resign effectively immediately.
The company can be an arse and upon receiving your 2 week notice terminate you without unemployment benfits because you already stated your intent in leaving.
However, most companies and people uphold the courtesy of giving 2 weeks notice and allowing the person to leave on requested date.

I can't believe how many people here are OK with filing for unemployment for a two week gap. I would have to be out of all options with my back against the wall before doing that. You are also admittedly trying to get an extra month of health insurance that you do not deserve.
Sounds like you should have saved more in your rainy day fund, especially if you knew you were leaving and you are going back to school.

Stop with the privacy BS. What the secretary did was stupid but no law was broken. Like nearly every other single person in this thread has pointed out - your house was for sale publicly.
With that said, her employer probably does not condone this. If you go down to the realtor's office and raise hell and talk about how unprofessional that was, etc you can probably flip the script on her and get her arse fired if that's what you want.

Unemployment is technically unemployment insurance in which you pay for the right to use it. It is a benefit not an entitlement program and there is no shame in taking unemployment.
Why would someone not try and get Health insurance for a month. Are you a moron? That is expensive and if you can save yourself nearly $1k/minth in cobra for me, no reason not to.
Employers look out for themselves so you should too.

You can lie to your boss about it if you want, but if a future prospective employer contacts them, your lie may come back to bite you.
Your departure/termination from your current employer should allow you to purchase insurance from your wife's employer or privately.
I doubt your company wants to push you out over two-weeks worth of benefits.

I've saved plenty. So two weeks wouldn't break me. My wife's health insurance goes through the end of July.
My son and I will pay to get on that until August. Then we will pick up a Cobra plan for the two week gap in August before I can get everyone on the school plan.
If I work into June, why would I not "deserve" health insurance coverage? Besides, I have over a month of vacation and sick time built up. My time would be easily accounted for through July.

Glad you saved plenty Cobra is expensive...also an employer can terminate paying your benefits at midnight of your last day, just because you work June 1st doesn't mean they are obligated to pay through the end of the month unless it is negotiated or stated in a contract. Hopefully they will pay you for any unused vacation / sick time, again most companies do unless they fire you. Your benefits and compensation at the time your are let go or turn in your notice are all dependent on how the company wants to treat you.

Im not sure how it works where you are, but in sweet home, if you put in your 2 weeks notice you are esentially quitting, and for that you get no unemployment. If your boss lays you off or you get fired for some bs reason like " I heared you were gonna quit so I fired you first" then you would get unemployment. So if your gonna be working for a family member under the table you would be better off getting laid off. If you are going to be a good tax paying citizen then I would wait and put the 2 week notice in on the first, and let the rest play itself out...

From an HR standpoint, just do your job. Your boss hasn't asked you any questions and you haven't been fired. Just because you sell your house doesn't mean you're leaving your job. Employees buy & sell their homes all the time with no impact on their employment.
If your boss confronts you, you can either tell her the truth or you can not say anything. It's up to you and, unless you have an employment contract (most people do not) you aren't obligated to do anything at all. Texas is an At Will state which means you aren't even required to turn in a 2 week notice.
If it were me, if my boss approached me & asked if I were leaving I would ask why she would ask me that question. If she tells you it's because she heard you soldier house, I would ask what that had to do with my employment. Then I would turn in my notice on 6/1. That's just me because I would be pissed by the intrusion.
FYI: File for unemployment immediately if you are terminated. However, you will not receive any benefits until 2 weeks after the week the business pays you. For example, if you turn in notice on 6/1 and they tell you to pound sand but pay you through 6/15, you should file for unemployment on 6/1 but you would not be eligible for unemployment benefits until 2 weeks after 6/15.
If you move before 7/1, expect the employer to challenge paying unemployment benefits on the basis that you were going to leave to move and they just chose not to allow you to work after you informed them of your plan to leave. That is why should not inform your employer that you will move out of state. You are not required to give a read on for leaving employment. You could alwAys say the reason you are turning in your notice is that you are uncomfortable with their intrusion in your personal life and your boss gossiping about it with your co-workers.
