Significado
Beginning employment.
Contexto cultural
Finns value 'työrauha' (work peace). When someone is 'menossa uuteen työpaikkaan,' it is common to give them space to finish their old tasks properly before they leave. In Sweden, the 'fika' culture is essential during job transitions. A 'avtackning' (farewell ceremony) is almost mandatory when someone is moving to a new job. In the US, 'Two Weeks Notice' is a strict cultural norm. Being 'between jobs' is often discussed more openly and enthusiastically than in Finland. Lifetime employment is changing, but moving to a new job ('tenshoku') still carries a significant weight and requires formal greetings to both old and new colleagues.

It is technically the inessive form of the 3rd infinitive of the verb 'mennä', but it functions as a predicative describing your state.
'Menossa' is more common for a general state of transition, while 'menemässä' often implies you are physically on your way right now.
You can say 'Olen jättämässä työni' or 'Olen lopettamassa tässä työpaikassa'.
No, it's perfectly neutral. For very close friends, you might say 'Mä meen uusiin hommiin'.
