<human>: I work at a major software company that has been having layoffs like crazy and management is jumping ship left and right so I decided I needed to get out. I got an offer from another software company and I'm not entirely sure if they are a competitor or not (meaning I would be let go on the spot). I already have planned vacation for two weeks in December plus the holidays we have off puts me having only 9 more days in office as my last day will be January 4th. Anyways, I don't want to be a jerk about the whole thing and just come in on the 4th and resign same day because that's just not who I am (even though I despise my boss). However, I can't afford to lose a month of pay if I tell my boss this Friday that I'm leaving and she lets me go on the spot.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: I want to give my boss ample notice but also don't feel safe doing so because it might mean losing a month of pay.
