Hahaha. They walked me out... they were very cordial but they walked me out. Apparently, it's some unwritten company policy. An extra paid two weeks off? Thanks!

take it from an HR guy, they walked you out for a reason....you are in a position where you could potentially "steal" tech secrets and take to your new place, so s.o.p. (we do it at my company too) is to walk the person out the day they give notice and pay them two weeks 'in-lieu' so they can 'respect' the date in your resignation letter.

make sense?

as for places to live, i work in jersey city and live in manhattan. i take the path train from christopher street to grove street hich is an 11 minute ride. union square is only two stops higher on the path - so total commute would be 20 minutes to union square. rents here are cheap too and they are building up the city here as well - lots of shops and restuarants and good views of the city. somthing to consider.

Thanks for the tips. I guess what you're saying makes sense, it's just that previous companies were more concerned about me transitioning the work to whoever will have to pick it up. I was surprised that this was their standard policy.

take it as a compliment - they only walk out the ones who are very good at what they do.

LOL! That would be slick if that would work.
