It depends on whether you want to burn any bridges. If you're working for a lousy company and they're fairly obscure, it may not matter. But if the name is recognizable, and you'll want to cite them as a place where you worked, it would be best to follow standard business procedure. And seriously, if you do something to make a point, hardly anyone will care now, but it could come back to haunt you someday.

I think it depends. For me, if it was a good employer that I respected, I'd absolutely give them the courtesy of 2 weeks. my last one I actually gave them a full month knowing they'd need at least 2 weeks to find a replacement, and ideally a new hire should have had 2 weeks of training with me because of how complex what I did was and no one having a clue about everything I actually did. Does a toxic employer deserve 2 weeks, not at all. I can say I once gave someone 2 weeks, and they started being terrible towards me so I walked out and said forget that. I think it might be something to take into consideration bridges being burned. If leaving on a bad note could affect future employment, it might make a difference as well. So a lot of nuance goes into the decision for me.

It's frustrating when you're treated poorly, and it’s certainly tempting to just walk away. But if you're in a position where it's not toxic, giving even short notice helps keep things professional. It leaves the door open for a smoother exit, especially if you need a reference later.

Look at it this way...If you're looking to be rehired by the company down the line, then 2 weeks notice is cool, but is still ultimately a courtesy.

When you get terminated from a job, the employer isn't gonna give you 2 weeks notice to find another one!

So if you don't care about the job you're leaving and don't need the cushion of one more paycheck before the other position starts, I'd clear my desk right then and there. especially if you're being mistreated.

I try really, really hard to leave on good terms. You never know who or what might come back to bite you. Now that being said, I put in my two weeks at a fairly decent place (pay was another story) and the claws came out! I made it almost 1 week before I gave up and left.

Its a courtesy to the company but it is not owed. I have always given two weeks but several times companies did not let me finish out the two weeks.
