Never talk, keep it to yourself. It’s your ace in the hole.
You can slowly transform yourself into Will Ferrells character Gator.
When you don’t like a request just refer to yourself in the third person. Gator don’t play that shite.

Use all of your PTO/ Vacation time before you leave. Can't take it with you...

If it's in Louisiana, I thought the employer has to pay annual/vacation that you accrued as it's considered time earned?

Gave a 6 week notice.
Continued to show up and work to the best of my ability so I didn't burn bridges in case I ever needed references

This is overrated and outdated unless it’s a minimum wage job. If you’re a good employee and relied heavily upon for business success, then two weeks isn’t nearly sufficient, and if you’re a bad employee you won’t be missed.

100%
I treat the company like they treat me…as a number. frick that two week notice.
“Hey boss, I won’t be in tomorrow. Got a new job. You guys were cool (or not) and it was a pleasure working with you (or not). If you need help with a transition period I can make myself available as a contractual employee on the weekends for a few weeks (or not).”

I gave mine a 2 months notice and kept doing what I was supposed to be doing and made the transition as easy as possible.
Never burn bridges even if you hate them. You never know what the future holds.

Don't tell anyone unless you are in a position they need to prepare for a vacancy. It's one thing to walk out with 2 weeks notice if you are not a key personnel. That being said, even key personnel don't need to tip their hat 3 months out.
I usually tell my supervisor about a month out and then ask to keep it quite until about 2 weeks when I let the rest of the folks know.

Put in your best work. Make them regret your departure

Depends on the job. When I worked in education they knew once I obtained my licensure I was leaving so they knew 3-4 months in advance and I officially resigned early to give them time to hire someone in/help train them for my position. But I also knew they weren’t going to let me go as soon as they knew I was leaving.
At a previous private sector job I didn’t let anyone know until I was officially starting my new job because they wouldn’t honor the notice and would let me go immediately.

When I retired, I gave them about a month notice. I had about a month of pto left, so I took it all at that time. I would typically come in about an hour or two every day and work on cleaning out my office and transitioning my duties.
It gets to be a lot easier to go to work when you know you don’t have to!

Sorry, that may work in some cases, but there are numerous companies that terminate your employment the minute you give notice that you are leaving.
I’ve seen outstanding, well thought of employees give a 30 day notice, thinking they are doing the “right” thing, only to be terminated immediately, with email shut off, company phone shut off, company credit cards suspended, lap top computer confiscated immediately, and told they would get a two week pay check and told good luck.
And…. On the flip side, I’ve seen companies treat the employee that gave a long notice extremely well, asked if they would help hire their replacement, and train them.
You never know till you know.
