Has anyone told their employer that they are leaving for school and then been laid off?
My company knows I applied to school, but I haven't yet told them I have an acceptance. I'm planning on doing it this week (maybe even today). I'd like to leave in 2 weeks (tomorrow would be even better!), unfortunately, I don't think it would be financially responsible of me to leave before the summer. I'm secretly hoping they will lay me off when I tell them (business is quite slow here), so I can collect unemployment and hang out for a few months. I think that's wishful thinking though. They may as well have me around if they are going to have to contribute to unemployment.
It's pretty hard to stay motivated at this point! The next three months are going to be quite long!
Anyone else in the same boat, or have a brilliant solution?!

This is a question for everyone:
How much notice have you given your employers? I am planning on leaving the team in June and am contemplating telling my manager either in April or in May... Of course no one on my team knows that I have applied to B-School so the announcement will come as a bit of a shock to the team....

seems like there are quite a few of us who quietly applied to school. i was wondering when background checks happen, may? june? that of course determines when i'd tell them, i'd want them to know before some company calls trying to verify my existence.
my plan was to stop working at the end of june, spend a few weeks in my home city to decompress and make any last minute arrangements, and then move to my new city a week before school. i guess i was going to tell them sometime in may so they could start looking for a replacement and i could potentially train the new person, i'm also afraid of only giving two weeks as it leaves a very important role vacant and that could make for strained relationships later on should i ever need a recommendation. the perfect scenario would be them letting me work from another state during july and "tele-train" the person taking my role, that way i could still be paid something while also being able to enjoy my family.
PS - I agree, motivation is at an all time low! And now I feel like if someone rubs me wrong I can just say "$@*% off, I quit"
