<prompt> Human: I hope this is the right sub for this, wasnt sure where else to go for serious advice.So Im currently employed, but in a few months I will be leaving the state for non-work related reasons. I told my employer and they asked for something in writing letting them know what my last day would be. I turned it in, listing a day in mid August as my last day. Later my boss came back to me and said they would rather have me end my employment at the end of the fiscal year, which is at the end of June, a month and a half earlier than what I intended. He asked me to resubmit the letter with the new date at the end of June. It doesnt really feel right to me, but I cant tell if Im actually getting screwed or if Im just mad about being out of work a month longer than I expected. I dont really want to burn my bridges here, but I also dont want to be a doormat. Should I refuse to re-submit the letter and let them lay me off earlier if thats what they want to do, or am I better off just going with it and not pissing off my main reference? I dont have another job lined up yet, but do have enough savings that the extra month off wont kill me. Any advice anyone could provide would be awesome. Thank you.  <response>: You should always prepare to be walked i.e. escorted out of the building the minute you submit a resignation letter. There really is no personal advantage to doing it any sooner than the typical 2 weeks notice.
