I worked at a Fortune 500 company in accounting and quit with notice, now because of that I can't find anything other than McDonald's manager trainee. NEVER BURN A BRIDGE!!!!!!!!!!
If your great employee good companies won't care.

I may be just oblivious but how are y'all just able to take vacation when you want? Where I work, it needs to be approved up 3 levels at least two months in advance.

A two week notice is just professional courtesy.
ANY company worth a shite will escort you to collect your things then escort you off the property.
Unless the split is totally amicable such as retirement or moving out of town because your spouse is relocating it's bad for morale.
If they let you hang out, the point at which you give your notice becomes the point your alliance with the company has shifted and you become toxic to any one around you.

nope
the company should probably say good bye and good luck, but not for what you posted

Or people have responsibilities that need to be accounted for in advance. If you're in tech development, you have to schedule your vacations around testing. If you're in finance, you have to have audit's permission. If you're a manager, you need to make sure that another manager can cover for you.

I can see that in a small, tight company, maybe one that's growing, sure

This where you are a bit naive.
The only reason you quit (other than the previous amicable reasons ) and are leaving is for a better opportunity. Tacitly, you are telling everyone they are fools and idiots for remaining with the company.
Letting a lame duck employee hang around is BAD for everyone's morale and the EE has the new job in their head, ready to move on and the quality of their work is shite.
Escort them off the property asap before they cause bigger problems.

that's funny, I work for the largest company in the world in the field that I'm in, I've seen all kinds of little Napoleans with upward mobility agendas that implement strategies like you advocate, it's rarely good, some of the talent goes away, then comes back more valuable to the company, in some cases what you say is appropriate, but really, and I've worked for small outfits too, the more you make it enticing for someone to stay as opposed to trying to force them to stay or ostrasizing them for leaving usually works out best for every one

Put in your 2 weeks and enjoy the 2 weeks off? Sounds like a no brainer.

Terrible advice. Best thing you can do is inform your new employer that you can start earlier, or if you have vacation time just enjoy your break.

Short timers are distracted employees which is why many companies just cut ties. Give the two weeks and go with the flow. Dont over think this

As long as we have the vacation time hours, for the most point, as long as you get the shite done that needs to be done, if people are going somewhere and will be out for part of or all of the following week, you just let them know Friday "im not going to be around next week". As long as everyone checks their email a few times a day just to stay up on whats going on... its cool.
Having to get approval 2 months in advance. Is that to make sure people working in the same departments do not take vacations at the same time?
I had a part-time job once in which, around certain holidays, it had to be a first come first serve type situation just to prevent everyone from taking off at the same time, but.. it seems like they have you by the balls by needed approval and letting them know 2 months early. So if something comes up, whether its some type of family thing or something you would really want to do and you know about it a month before it happens.. There is no way you could go?

I assumed the discussion was about about a professional in the organization, not a temp or broom pusher type

I agree, loyalty is overrated, but for your own interest you never know when you might need something or don't want to give former employers a reason to not give a single frick about you and tell the wrong person something that you rather them not say..
