re: Is it now acceptable to quit the same day you give notice?

My whole perspective on a 2 weeks notice changed during COVID. I busted my arse working when everyone else was off. We hit a slow period the summer of 2021 and was furloughed without notice in favor of hourly employees that cost the company less. My furlough was 12 weeks. So I searched high and low for a new job and found one with a great relo package out of the shite hole that is BR. Within the hour of me signing the acceptance letter I went to my employer and let them know I would not be returning. My scheduled return date was 2 days later and everyone lost their shite. I gave them more notice than they gave me for my furlough, so frick em
