Oh man I wasn't going to bother replying since I already made up my mind, but so many of you are so fucking stupid.

I never had any malicious intent, just wanted to make things slightly easier for myself in case she decides to screw us over by leaving without giving notice. Put yourself in my place - would you rather go a few days or a few weeks doing extra work? FFS.

To all those saying they regularly update their resume, good for you! Do you do it on company time too? That's great, I don't care what you do at your job! You like to add your big projects as you complete them? Congrats! We don't have "big projects" and she's been doing the same stuff for the last 6 months.

And, finally, IT IS MY BUSINESS. How fucking hard is it for you morons to grasp that? I swear it's like some of you were dropped repeatedly on your heads as children.
*I* have to hire, *I* have to train, *I* have to do the extra work. How is that not my business? :roll:

trying to keep a person where they aren't happy would be counter-productive
 
Nothing. None of your business and you're not going to stop her from leaving if she wants to so you have to train her replacement either way. Plus she may not be planning to leave; I update my resume after every big project just so it stays current and I don't have work to do later on down the road.

Alternatively talk to her about it, just friendly, see what's up. Don't tell your manager or HR; there's nothing to be accomplished in that and it can cause trouble for both you and her where there otherwise wouldn't be any.
 
Don't be a douche. Keep it to yourself...you don't know her motives or why she was updating her resume. It's none of your business.
 
no matter what you do, if she leaves she leaves and its really none of your business

the real question is whether you wan to be a professional about it, or a meddling douchebag

Well, I'm not trying to keep her there.

In fact I wouldn't mind if she left, just I don't have the time to train someone new.

And our employment is at-will, which means she doesn't have to give any notice. If I do have to train someone, I want to start finding someone now!
 
Instead of getting into a fit about it find out why she might be looking for a new job and remedy the situation. If she's unhappy, find out why.

I don't feel that she should be getting any amount if shit from co-workers/managers/bosses because she might be looking for a new job. Instead, said people should be trying to fix whatever issue she may have.
 
What do you plan to accomplish if you say something? Get her fired? You need to mind your own business and stop being so nosey. If she quits she quits.
 
I would just ignore it, or maybe jokingly point out "hey, you're going to leave us?".

Also I sometimes update my resume even if I'm not looking for a job. It's good to keep it up to date so if you suddenly need it, it's ready. (ex: new position opens up, if you apply within first few minutes it will show you are very proactive. 😉)

No, I don't actually like her all that much. She can stay or go, I'm not trying to force anything. But if she is leaving, I'd rather know so we can find someone sooner. Yes it's still gonna suck to train someone, but at least we won't have to have a bigger lag time in between.
 
do nothing you douchebag. you're jumping to conclusions and you really have no idea what she's up to
I hate people like you at work
boo fucking hoo you have to spend some time training
deal with it
 
I'd ask him where he's applying and use that to further my career. I don't give a fuck what you do on the job, if you are trying to make more money and have an open opportunity I wanna learn more about it.

That's the thing, it sort of is my business. It will have an effect on my job.


If she is planning on leaving, we can start looking for a replacement immediately. Otherwise, she can use her remaining sick time and vacation time, and then just quit with no notice and I'm stuck sorting through a thousand resumes, doing all of her work plus mine plus the work I inherited from the other 4 guys that got laid off, then train someone new.

This. I'm not sure why you feel the need to do anything at all. Maybe you should just talk to her in confidence though if it concerns you and ask her in a non-accusatory and non-confrontational way what's making her unhappy. Maybe you can convince her to stay, maybe not. But hey, people don't stick around in the same place for 30 years and retire like they did back in the day any more. If she can find something better for her that will make her happier and maybe even make some more money in the process in this current job market, I say more power to her. You should be happy for her. There is no crime in a person exploring their options. Is it the fact she's doing it on company time that bothers you? If so, can you honestly say you've never personally done anything of a personal nature on company time with company computers? Lighten up.

It sounds like she knows how to play the game better than you. She understands it's time to get out and she's actively doing something about it.

What are YOU doing?
 
if I liked/was indifferent to them, I'd do nothing.

if I didn't like them, I'd tell my friend who runs our internal IT department... they'd probably be able to pull up hits to monster.com or find their resume saved on their profile and notify their boss.
 
Yeah, do nothing. I updated my resume last week and sent it off to Hewlett Packard just in case they decided to hire someone within the next 6 months. I am mostly happy where I am at but more money would be nice. Case in point, just because she was freshening up her resume doesn't mean she is actively looking for a job.

Jeebus cripes man you act like she's already got one foot out the door on her way to her new job. Yeah maybe she IS going to an interview next Monday and Tuesday. . .maybe not. An interview does not equal a new job. It could be weeks or months before she finds anything that works out. . .or she may just give up on it and decide to stick around. As long as she's doing her job to satisfaction, why cause an issue where there would otherwise be none. . .Besides, her leaving could put you in a position to demand a raise or else you threaten that you're going to quit too because you now have the added responsibility of training a replacement.
