If you're that worried about the company fricking you over then you might as well burn that bridge

If it's an opportunity he can't pass up, he should take it. He should also be very frank with the current employer.
I'm interested for more details on why this new employer would do that to him. Unless there's some detail I just can't think of, I think that's a red flag for this new employer to not work with him a little here.

If an employee gave me a 2 day notice, I'm just telling them to turn in company property and files, pack their stuff, and go. The bridge is burned.
If moving back his start date with the new employer isn't an option, then he should just know that going back to the previous employer will never be an option for him again and he probably won't get a great reference from his old boss either.

This is the plan I am working for. :nana
Add in a surgical procedure to use up all that sick time too.

How much advance notice does an employer give you when they fire you?
So, why do you have to give them 2 weeks notice?

Yet you would have no problem firing an employee without any notice. Too much power given to the employer...

Could be a test from the new employer to see if he'd do it to his old one.
That'd be a pretty fricked up test. "Oh, you told your current employer you were quitting to take a job with us? Sorry, that was test of your loyalty. You failed. We don't want you either."

No one said you have to. The goal is to leave on good terms so you can use them as a reference.
Sure, not every employer is going to follow up on every reference, but if they do, you don't want the person they call trashing you.

Advice is go see current employer and say "I wish I could give you proper notice but this opportunity demands I go now. I apologize, deuces."
Personally I find the 2 weeks notice thing confusing as my company terms people when they give appropriate notice. No pay mind you. So if that person wasn't aware of this they might have a 2 week gap in worked hours and therefore no pay. Kinda bullshite.

I did three weeks, took some time off and still got screwed with 1:30 going away party on my last Friday.
My boss wanted a excuse to get cake from a place that opened at noon

my employer did a post hiring follow up check with my previous employers to see what terms I left them on

If he has to quit asap for the new job then he should do it. Can't worry about the feelings of old employers. If they are grown-ups and you aren't leaving them in a bind, they will understand. Like others have said, they would probably have no problem telling you that you're laid off and expect you out the door right away.

From my understanding employers can only say if a person is hirable again or not. They can not go into details about the way the person left.
Posted on 6/1/17 at 3:08 pm to Webster23
Any company not willing to let a future employee give two weeks isn't a company I'd want to work for.

don't know if that varies from state to state but that is true in the state where I live

If I was firing someone, they've either done something pretty damn bad or I've had to warn/correct them regarding the same issue over and over again.

My guess is that they want to cuck their competition by pulling out an employee. That, or they're just dicks in general who want their new employee to start in a hole, knowing that it'll be that much harder for the employee to leave now that they just fricked up their work record.
This can't be anything but a low-level position.

Agreed. It would have to be pretty remarkable circumstances otherwise.
Something like... "We unexpectedly lost a key employee who has a very specific skill that we know you have and desperately need as soon as possible. We know it's not ideal to jump jobs so quickly, but we will make your salary worth it."
But I doubt that's the case here...

yeah, probably not too many construction workers start at the top in the insurance field, too many ex high school football coaches clogging up the path
