The only time I ever put in my two weeks, they let me go the very next day.

I have always given my 2 weeks notice the whole 2 times in 30 years I made a change.
Typically if you leave on good terms your employer will give you a good reference if you were a decent employee. This also leaves you on good terms if for some reason you need to go back to your old job. I've seen this happen on more than a few occasions. My business partner and I are currently considering re hiring a former employee. They will usually let you go immediately if there is a concern for sabotage or espionage but they will pay you your 2 weeks. I would gather my shit up discreetly before handing Ina resignation. |

It's what you would say/do to not burn a bridge.
ETA: I have never seen an employer keep them for the 2 weeks. |

If you were being fired or laid off would they give you 2 weeks? Or just walk you out?
Fuck 'em...just finish your shift and quit...but don't ask for a recommendation. |

2 weeks notice is standard. If they walk you out right then or the next day, they better be paying you for 2 weeks.

Depending on you job and employer it can go a lot different ways. In some lines or work it may be enough time to hire and train your replacement.
If you are going to work for a direct competitor they will likely ask you leave. I had a co-worker put in a two month notice. It worked out pretty good. Gave us time to sort out how we were going to redistribute his workload, hire a replacement and start training him. It allowed for a smoother transition than having to replace someone on the fly. |

If I submit a two week’s notice, I get my accrued PTO paid. Right now I’m sitting on 200 hours. You’re damn skippy I’m turning in a notice.

You never know who you are going to bump into again in this life.
If your reputation doesn't mean anything to you do what you feel like. I've always given a two week notification. I've seen it go several ways, worked it out till the last day or let go and paid for the two weeks. |

My employer gives the layoff notices at the end of the week then sends them home. Thats how they want to operate, so that's how I would leave.
I've walked out of jobs in the middle of my shift and not even told them I was leaving. Employers get treated the way they treat me. |

If the new place is begging you to start, try to give at least a week. The best thing to do is give 2 weeks notice however. Ideally they will have you close open ends for the first week and let you take off the 2nd one. Every time I started a new job without taking some time off, I have regretted it. Even if it's just a 4 day weekend, DO IT.

Have given a 2 weeks notice twice, and a 6 week notice once.
1st time--my schedule got re-arranged as I was salaried and I worked 13 days in a row for 14 hours shifts.... 2nd time--had a vacation scheduled to burn up days--put it in the Boss's box on the Friday I left....I learned my lesson from the first time. |

I’ve always given two week s notice if I’m planning on leaving, even jobs I flat out hated.
One of the best feelings in my life was walking into a former unholy pig of a bosses office and giving him my two weeks. Smile on my face, shook his hand and thanked him for the opportunity and walked out. He was speechless, totally stunned given how overtly hostile he was toward me. One of the biggest POS I’ve ever had the misfortune of interacting with personally. It was beautiful

If you are a professional, act like it. As other have said, you don't know the future. Don't shoot yourself in the foot. Employers often talk to others unofficially. Your reputation may procede you more than you think .
I've worked for the same hospital twice in 3 different jobs. I have a friend who is a health care provider who pulled a jerk move and would like to be working for the outfit that I am with. they won't even take a look at him because of how he left a job with them in the past. He's a great provider too. In my line of work, you give 60 days notice, most employment contracts even require it, sometimes more. |

It all depends.
Everyone who put in a notice at my last job found themselves OTD within a couple hours. When I left, they kept me on because they needed me to hire and validate that my replacement could do the job. Not as glamorous as it sounds, but most of the people could barely operate a computer let alone troubleshoot one- and that included the owner. Then there was the whole social media and web storefront side of things as well which was 90% of the work load. The point I’m getting at is: can they get by without you if they escort you out right then? Another thing is: can you get by without 2 weeks pay? People can say what they want about doing the right thing but you’ve got to look out for yourself. God knows most companies won’t. I saw too many people completely blindsided when they were fired- and most were good employees. While I quit because I was disgusted with the way the company treated its employees, I stayed on for both professional and personal reasons. What gave me that option was my value to that company. Sure, part of me just wanted to walk out and break it off in their ass but I just chuckled to myself. I had no delusions that I couldn’t be replaced, but they’d have been shitting bricks till they got someone in to right the ship. This was at a small niche retail store with a pretty large web presence. TL/DR: how valuable are you to your company? |

I got talked into staying an extra week for a total of 3 week notice at an old job. I said sure... but only if you buy me out of my PTO. They did.

I gave my two weeks notice and they hired me on as a consultant @ 140 an hour till they found someone.
My new job said they understood that I would need to communicate with them because of my job there and they would hope I give the same courtesy if it came down to it. They also said if it didn't work out here I could have my job back even if they hired someone else. Depends on your job I guess. |

Thanks. You know something, employers rarely give an employee two weeks notice when they are ready to move on from the employee. As well, which you kinda' touched on, employers generally don't want somebody who's leaving, to hang around for very long - for lots of reasons. A.W.D. |

Most state laws dictate that if you give a 2 week resignation the employer can wal you out that day but is required to pay you and severance benefits until your given termination date.
Its also polite and good form to give one unless there's illegality abuse etc. |

Done it both ways.
Took a sick day to go interview/piss test and later walked into work only to get my stuff and say bye bye. Didn't have much of an option as I they needed me to start the next day. That old company is no more now anyways. Gave notice and was worked for the next two weeks. Good people that took care of me and were sorry to see me go. It was a personal decision to leave. I've been solicited by them a couple of times since. All depends on your circumstances and how you want to treat your current employer I suppose. Now they could let you go after giving notice but that's their call... |

Maybe 2 weeks later they gave him the 1 hour boot, with no replacement for his position. |

Depends on your career.
In engineer everyone knows everyone, you don't want to burn bridges. Also you want to make sure you transition the jobs you are working on to other employees and give tem time to ask questions. I think letting people go that day rather than letting them stay for two weeks is more of a blue collar thing. Most employers would rather just get a new person in the position ASAP. |
