Quitting in 2025

Question for The SE community!

I'm about to quit my job at a unicorn Startup. I have a signed offer and my start date is one month out. The end of the quarter is in 2 weeks. The timing is perfect for me to put in my 2 weeks notice... But these days I just don't trust any employer. I am worried that they might terminate my employment sooner, which would make me ineligible for my eoq bonus.

I am a top performer, and there is some account transition work, and I don't think they're expecting it, which makes me think theyd be less likely to terminate me earlier than my notice period, but I'd be putting my bonus at risk.

Also, I want time off between jobs, I'm not willing to work a single day past the 31st. I am already checked out.

I don't like the way employees are treated nowadays. I know theyd lay me off with an email in an instant. So I feel no guilt regardless of what approach I take.

On the other hand, I don't necessarily want to carry the mental baggage of dodging work and generally being a shitty colleague for the next month. My AEs actually do rely on me.

How do you guys think I should handle this?
