re: Giving notice at work

They should cut the weeks crap out anyway, an employer doesn't give anyone two weeks when they lay you off.

Few years ago the company I worked for got bought out. New owners made bunch of changes right away, including changing from base + commission that we had to a straight salary that ended up being about a 20% pay cut for me on average. Worked there for a little while until I found something better and told new company I could start the following week. Walked into work on Tuesday morning, told the boss I was leaving for another job and would finish out the rest of the week. Boss tells me that "we normally expect 2 weeks notice". My response, "you didn't give me 2 weeks notice when you took over and cut my pay". Needless to say, I was told to leave and ended up with a few extra days off before starting my new job.
