I had a coworker that recently found another job paying more than he was currently being paid. He went speak with the boss and told her he loved his job but the difference in money was too good to pass up. He told her if she could match it he would stay and if not consider this his two week notice. She made a call to HR and later that day he was informed they matched the pay.
To everyone reading this thread, never do this. Never accept a counteroffer.

I would not pay the two weeks. I would just cut off access and wish them well.

I resigned from an solid company to chase a new opportunity and offered four weeks to close loops on every project I had underway and to prepare detailed transition task lists for whoever was going to assume my responsibilities until a new hire was brought on board. The offer was accepted. When the time was up, they gave me a four-week departure check for not leaving them in a bind.

I recently had a similar situation. Work for a local engineering firm and recently had the opportunity to move to a big national firm. Pay was much bigger and bonuses structure was great and insane retirement plan. Hated I was going to have to leave as I love my boss and I’m the only young person at the company and it was really going to hurt them but it was money I couldn’t turn down. Went in to give them a months notice but was prepared to give more if I needed it. Like I said I’m in engineering so it would have taken me all of that long to get projects either wrapped up or handed off in a way for a smooth transition and I wanted to keep my clients happy obviously. Explained my boss the situation and he just said “Ill match it”. Gave him the offer. Next day I came in and they matched the salary and exceeded the bonus structure. They said we don’t know how they are able to do that with the retirement package so we are just going to give you ownership of 5 percent of the company. Told them that was all I needed to hear and I signed the ownership papers shortly after. Worked out well.

^^^ 100%. If you're happy and productive, ask for the raise in pay first. If rejected, wait a week or two, then resign.
Never show your hand like that.

When it comes to money and employee loyalty, employers get weird. This productive person backed his supervisor into a corner, and no one wants to be in a corner. Believe you me, if that supervisor picks up a resume for someone who is better at this guy's job, for equal or less pay, he is on the street.
^^Rebl920 played his cards correctly. Quads on the flop.^^

I would say the only time a true two-week notice happens if for someone retiring or an entry-level job with no access to important data.

It's a courtesy to give your employer 2 weeks notice before leaving, but it doesn't mean they have to keep you around.

How many jobs have you quit baw?
This will be 5 with 15 years experience. Couple reasons for that. Two were relocations.
Also I did government work in Louisiana early in my career. You weren't getting a raise or promotion in the Jindal years. You had to change jobs to get a raise.
So my career progression went 38K, 42K, $59K, $108K(Relocation), $100K (Relocation)... then now I make alot more in private sector for last 2 jobs.
Got to go where the money is and you can get the experience.

I have always given two weeks. I watched some guy give two weeks a few months back and they booted him the same day due to network security concerns. No extra last paycheck for him.
I work with a tech startup, it depends. If they need you on to train your replacement they'll keep you for as long as they need to complete that transition.
With these rounds of layoffs they typically cut your network access and your last day is when they tell you that you've been laid off.
A lot of companies like Google do it the same way. Pretty jarring. There must've been something that happened with employees gathering confidential company intel for so many companies to start doing the same thing.

I think this is completely dependent on how you feel about the place. I've only had one truly terrible job and left with no notice at all. I've left two others I like and worked out a notice and still have a good relationship with them. I would just make an educated decision based off of your experience with your employer.

Would they give you two weeks notice before canning your arse?
This is how I feel. I think the honor system days of the two weeks notice are over. There is no loyalty anywhere any longer.

My last employer asked me for 4 weeks when I quit but I declined.
Same. I was starting the new job sooner than 4 weeks, sorry. They also knew for months that I was applying to a specific job that was available and if I got it I was gone, and they made no attempts to convince me to stay.
The previous job I gave several months notice because we were moving to Knoxville and had to sell the house in BR, etc. My boss let me use up 4 weeks of sick leave moving if I came back to BR and worked for another week to assist in transfer of knowledge. That ended up with me working remote for another 8 months before finally parting ways officially.

^This is why I hate giving a notice because I know plenty of people who did that only to be out of a job for 2 weeks.

Sales people NEVER are allowed to work out 2 weeks notice. The longest I was allowed to continue in a position after I resigned was 9am the next day. I spent my last full day surfing the Net and playing video golf on my computer. Have always been paid the two weeks notice as well.
Also, I collected commissions on every job that was paid in full as of the day I resigned.

If I was leaving my job, it would probably have to be a multi-month transition out since I’m a one woman show. Actually have been working on a sort of manual through a year in my shoes so my phone isn’t blowing up every time I take a vacation.

When I left the shitty finance company, I gave two weeks notice. They let me go that day.
When I left the bank, I gave two weeks notice. They had me work those two weeks. But all I really did was occupy a desk and play on my phone.

I'd have sued and you sound miserable to work for.
