<prompt> Human: I have seen my company terminate 2 other employees as soon as they gave their 2 weeks notice.I gave my 2 weeks notice on Wednesday and on Friday was told they were terminating me and they were not intending on paying me for the remainder of the 2 weeks. Fortunately I am able to start Monday with my new company.As a word of warning, if you have seen your employer terminate any employees as soon as they give notice DO NOT GIVE NOTICE. You are not legally required to give notice, and if the company does not give the courtesy of letting employees finish out their 2 weeks they dont deserve the courtesy of 2 weeks notice.Edit: To clarify generally speaking you should give two weeks notice, but it is not required, and there are situations that you should not. Carefully judge for yourself.  <response>: On the other hand gave my notice like a pro and was told after only 1 week how thankful they were that I took getting a replacement up to speed as seriously as I took my own career. Received pay for both weeks and paid for all of my pto.
