Any 'two week notice' tips before I do the deed?

formal letter

use up all your sick time first

Be ready for them to tell you to go ahead and leave, especially if you are going to work for a competator.

[Oops. My first point was mistaken. I was confusing posters]

This still stands, though:

Just tell your supervisor in person, and you'll be fine.

---

I assume you have the face to face talk first, and then just follow it up with a formal letter for documentation purposes

Bring the letter with you when you speak to your supervisor, pull their chain about how much they helped you with your career, and how you wish them the best of success etc. Never burn bridges that you do not have to

Don't burn any bridges. Keep it upbeat..."better advancement, more challenges," etc.

Don't start airing past grievances.

Although you probably will never want to work for that company again, you never know when you might need a favorable reference.

Depending on your field, this probably happens more than you think; with the good employees especially.

Like the others have said, keep it positive. And definitely give at least two weeks. You may get escorted out, but you will burn EVERY bridge in the place if you go the douche route and don't give at least two weeks.

At the least, be prepared for immediate termination unless you are certain they will not. in other words, get anything that is yours out of your desk or anything that you may want that isnt necessarily yours but only you would want it - like a calender or notebook with your information on it, and also phone numbers that you may need. I once went through an old company box of pics that no one probably even knew/cared about a took a few of the pics that meant something to me.
