re: Why do you have(traditionally) to give a two weeks notice, but your company can

I worked for a company that sent a few people to the gate the minute they put in their two weeks.

When I put mine in I was there for 3 more weeks training a new guy and working my arse off till the last minute.

I'm a firm believer that nobody worth working for is going to send you to the gate the day you put in your notice unless you were not worth keeping to begin with.
