The places I didn't give two weeks notice to were not bridges that were either (i) worth keeping or (ii) had already been burnt.

More so early in my career. You know FB titles don't actually mean anything?

Always fun to go out with a bang. If I found out a potential candidate went out that way, I'd be more inclined to hire them cause it shows they have cajones
I gave one week notice Monday, he should be glad that was given. Came back Tuesday and packed my desk. Said yell at me and I’m gone, I’m now training my replacement whom I started without boss man knowing training 2 weeks ago
I’ve quit before on the spot. No two week notice, nothing comes up on my bg checks. However, I’d advise against it.
When I was early in my career, I gave providing notice weight. Today, not so much. Employers burn bridges everyday. They make business decisions without thinking or caring anything about how their decision impacts you. You are the CEO of YOU INC and should never hesitate to act in your shareholder’s (you and yours) best interest. You must protect your financial interests, career, family, mental and physical health. The mistake that we make is thinking that our employers care about us. They don’t. We are all just one business decision away from being shown the door. One should never become emotionally invested in their employer. That message was driven home to me years ago when a company executive during a town hall focused on upcoming layoffs said, “If you want loyalty, get a dog!”

100% this. There is no incentive for loyalty, either. It used to be loyalty was rewarded with participation in the defined benefit plan, but those are going the way of the dodo in the vast majority of private sector, white collar jobs.
Also, the niceties of two weeks notice is exactly that...a nicety. At the vast majority of companies, after a week or so leaving, you're entirely forgotten about and it's like you had never left.
Unless your an exec...fk em
Do whatever works for you. You shouldn’t ever worry about burning bridges.
I would suggest double-checking if you will get all your pay if you don't give a 2-weeks notice. Sometimes, they have it in the EE handbook that you may not get your PTO payout etc unless a notice is given. Of course, this depends on the state law as well.
If you’re going to a competitor, they’ll walk you out. You can time the “start date” and the 2 week notice appropriately
This happened to me when I worked for a bank. Gave them a very nice 2 week notice in writing and was asked to come turn in my laptop the next morning. They froze my email and all company access within an hour of business open.

No, if you are not contractually obligated to do so, then don't.

Any place that requires a reference is not worth going to, what are we in the 1900s? If you cant determine based on the resume, background check of actual employment, and the hurdles I went through in an interview, then you don't know how to hire properly or efficiently. You most likely hired the wrong person and waited so long to get that person in seat that it cost more money in the long run.
We're not saving lives here, it's dumb business jobs that DO NOT MATTER.
Oh I see , i can little bit modify my responsibilities to show my colleague from another team there as a reference then , if ever asked in future or can remove this job as I was there for a year only .
I would give two weeks if I left my current position in case they wanted me to train whoever would be taking my duties. I think it depends on the position and if you think you’d want to work for the company again.
Are they going to give you two weeks notice when they let you go? Nope.
Pro
It’s not about burning bridges at the company. If you are willing to leave without 2 weeks, you probably don’t plan on ever going back. It’s about burning bridges with your coworkers and managers. Our industry is a small world and you never know if the person you just pissed off will be the person reviewing a resume in 5-10 years and will pass because they remember you dumping all the work on them.
Pro
Yes the work will be transitioned to the rest of the team but shouldn’t be dumped if a notice period is provided and followed properly. Everyone knows companies have zero loyalty which is a reason why people leave for better places. Leaving a company and leaving your team high and dry are different things. Your team will remember how you treated them more than the corporation.
I didn’t give out a 2 week notice at my last job and it didn’t change anything. Management wasn’t super excited about it but I don’t think there’s nothing they can do
I've given less than a weeks notice, but that was pre social media (i.e., LinkedIn). It would depend on the environment and relationships that you are leaving. If there is nothing and no one that you would want to be in contact with again, and it's toxic, I don't see anything wrong with it.
Um so, you just said the bridge is burned and does it matter. I suppose if you never need it, it's fine, but the company you left and whoever is impacted will be done with you. If you are in a industry where referrals, networking, and references matter, you may be hurt more boadly. Some may admire your moxy and "F-you" attitude. Others may not want to work with you. The latter will make up a majority.
We had an employee give one week. They collected their bonus and dumped all their work on other people. The person was gone, barely a month and they wanted to come back because they decided the other place wasn’t the right fit. Needless to say the management did not want to bring her back after how she left. I don’t think it’s a great idea to burn a bridge because you could be losing future opportunities and references that you may not even realize at the time.  What if one day you go into an interview and it just so happens to be an employee of the former company that you left without giving proper notice. They may not be forgiving.
I wanted to give but was given without cause and severance instead lol
I know some companies will put you on the do not rehire list if you don’t give 2 weeks notice.
But if you're quitting from a company job that you obviously didn't like why would getting re-hired matter? I would never in my life even consider going back to a company I quit. EVER
Depends on the place. I've given a month's notice at one job. I liked working there but I had a opportunity I couldn't pass up. I wanted to make the transition as smooth as possible for them for the new guy.
If you were treated poorly, (harassment, breach of contract... etc ), you have a good reason to just up and leave. If you just don't get along with your manager or some other reason that could come off as petty, looking professional and giving two weeks notice is the better option.
Where I am, the job situation is very incestuous. I've had to bite my tongue a few times. The manager giving you grief at one job has friends at other companies you could be moving to.
