<prompt> Human: Heres my dilemna:- I joined this company almost 2 years ago. I become 23rds vested in my 401k on February 6th- I start my new career on February 17th.I would like to give two weeks notice, but Id be taking a bit of a risk in giving them 2 weeks notice. Ive recently started a new project, so my workload isnt exactly high at the moment, and they could probably get rid of me without needing much from me. Id be leaving about 5000 on the table for my 401k if they terminated me. I could use a bit of help, I have no idea what to do.  <response>: From what I can tell, you really have three options here:1. You can give them 2 weeks notice on January 31st. You run the risk of being let go prior to February 6th and not receiving the retirement vest, but note that the person making the decision of whether to let you go or not will not be basing their decision on your retirement vesting, and may not even know. Only you can assess the likelihood of being let go prior to the 6th, but if you think it is a high likelihood, there are 2 other options.1. You could postpone giving notice, only giving 1 weeks notice after your retirement vests. You dont owe them anything, but this does risk burning bridges with your managers and coworkers. You need to decide whether not burning bridges is worth the risk of losing out on your vested money.1. You could negotiate a later start date at your new job. If this is possible, its likely the best solution. If this is not possible, youre left with one of the choices above.Unfortunately, there is no magic solution to this problem, and youll need to make some tough decisions.
