A sudden exodus of employees is causing leadership to panic and suddenly puts me under a microscope with questions like:

• Are you going to leave?
• What can we do to keep you from leaving?
• Do you see yourself here in 1 year?

These are all semi valid questions to ask in the best interest of the company. But I’m curious how this information could be used.

This all got me thinking – at what point could – “no - I don’t see myself in a year” be used as a resignation with a 1 year notice – and then terminated after ~3 months and be ineligible for unemployment since you “technically” resigned.
