Does anyone tell their manager they are leaving and still expecting anything nowadays? I thought dive-and-save is very rare since the flattening trend happened (esp. in big tech)
Never experienced the dive-and-save myself. Usually a wince and a sigh, followed by "oh... when's your last day?" Your first line supervisor is upset, but resigned that he's powerless to do anything substantive that might retain you. The MBAs at corporate HQ couldn't care less, and it'll take them weeks/months to get around to approving a new job req.
