“I have a former colleague who was trapped in the Kabul airport, and he’s just messaged me saying that the Taliban have come in the airport and have been shooting and beating people.”
You do have a point. This has been going on for a while, the more I read about it. They did have time to leave...

Decision includes a headquarters unit of the 82nd deploying.

I don’t believe a damn thing they say anymore
“Oh...you’re talking about the State Dept people?”
As stated, I used that as an EXAMPLE.
SMH, I know reading is so difficult when you want to go on a rant about something else.
The example is applicable to others who don’t work at the State Department too.
The sheer density here.
Well the folks that don’t or didn’t work for the State Dept could have left whenever they wanted.
There was absolutely nothing keeping them there.
Oh wait, my boss says I can’t live. The f*ck I can’t pack, get to the airport and leave Afghanistan whenever I want.

So you say. But people make commitments and need a job reference for the future. Otherwise the position becomes a liability not an asset on a resume.
Ok.....
So is it the industry standard to provide a 2-week notice? I believe it is. Even better if you can give more.
Ummmm, you go to your local boss let them know about your intent to leave, provide the proper notice and also provide a follow up email, with ‘read receipt’, where you detail that you are in fear for your safety, etc etc etc. And you when you go to your next job interview and you explain to them...
“Yeah, I loved doing what I was doing in Afghanistan but I was in NO SH*T FEAR FOR MY LIFE. The Taliban was taking over the country, had been for months and was killing anyone that stood in its way. So I felt like it was smart of me to leave sooner than I had initially wanted. I feel really bad about all those that didn’t make it out in time. But, at that point in time, it was the right thing for me to do.”
Yeah, a decision like that is really going to be held against you in your future job hunting experience. Got it.
Times 1000.
