With a week's notice, do they actually expect everyone to walk out of their current job with less than 2 week's notice?

If they expect that the they realistically can't expect those employees to give them with week's notice when they leave CPZ.

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but is not giving 2 week's no longer a big deal?

I'm absolutely not trying to stir the pot or put anyone down, I'm genuinely asking a question.

That came off like a stage 5 clinger...I was offered the first class but bypassed to put in my 2 weeks so I could get my 2 weeks of vacation payed out at my previous employer...

Delta announced they were hiring on a Saturday , Compass called two days later on Monday, and asked if I could start 3 days later on a Thursday...
Whoa sorry to hear that, it mustve been pretty frustrating to be marinating in the pool for that long. I recently found out that I am #17 on the list so hopefully the call comes a little sooner than 14 months down the road. As for the three day notice, phew thats a good way to **** off your current employment. Thanks for the great insight everyone

Inglewood, CA is also a short walk from Century Blvd, where all of the hotels are. I'm sure one could find cheap housing with friendly neighbors and just mooch off of the hotel shuttles.

I think they were told IF they wanted to they could but if not it would not be held against them to give a 2 week notice.

you are far more patient than I. Compass is where I really want to be but if it's going to be more than a few months I'll probably pursue other opportunities.

Are you in the pool? If so, I would expect a September class date.
