if it bothers you don't tell them
if it is going to cause issues and you don't care just tell them

You know your situation best, I personally never burn bridges in business. I would tell if asked.

Unless there is a very good reason not to tell them (hard to think of many such reasons), you should tell them. I think it is the professional thing to do. Plus networking with former co-workers / employers can be a really good thing for you. It's a little weird to just cut ties with no indication of the where and why. You aren't obligated to do so, but I think it's better to do it.
ETA: I agree you shouldn't be going around talking about the new job to everyone. But if they ask (and I imagine they will if you are a valuable/liked employee at all) I'd tell them. Unless you are doing something wrong (non-compete, stealing confidential info, etc), no reason not to be candid.

Agree with everything in here. I find it odd how many people wouldn't tell where they are going. What is the reasoning behind not telling them?

You didnt already kick the front door off the hinge on the day you gave notice? You didn't shite on the owners desk whil giving notice?
Wtf is this place turning into, real life?

I told my boss when I quit and the president of company I quit calls the damn CIO of the company I'm going to asking if I can stay on board for longer than my 2 weeks notice.
So yeah that could happen.
I'm still not sure what their end game was there. Hey they said you can stay longer!
OK well I'm not.

I wouldn't have a high opinion of an employer who asked where you were going to specifically.
Remember, it's not your old company that's asking you, but a specific employee of that company. Who may or may not mean you well.
Don't disclose is my advice.

But it "burns" a bridge. Eventually you are going to want them to be a reference on a job application.

In this day and age, won't they find out as soon as you change your linkedin page (assuming you have one).

Isn't the employer/employee dynamic so double standard?
If you quit, the right thing to do is give two weeks to give them time to prepare. And if you don't, it could be frowned upon.
If they fire or lay you off, bye.

The difference is, by not telling your old employer up front, you give your new employer a chance to see how you do, and form their own opinion of you. Unhindered by an potential smear attempts by someone at your old employer.
This isn't about companies. It's about people. And in my past experience, some HR people can be twitchy little ferrets about employees leaving.
