It's reciprocal, at least with decent employers. If they lay off an employee, the employee gets a severance check for the next pay period. When the employee leaves, they don't leave the employer a man short, which allows them to find and hire a proper replacement.

I've only been fired from one job, but my boss paid for the two weeks following. He said he knew I'd have done it, and the project we were working on just hadn't worked out.
Some bosses are just bros.

rescind. Sorry.

I have been fortunate and have not been let go for any reason yet in life. I currently, however, work for a company that will resend an offer if you do not put in a two weeks with your current employer. They think if you did it once you will do it again. I tend to agree.
Notice is very antiquated. I work in tech, and we are generally lucky to get a week notice. And like hell they will do any work in that w

If you got a better position... frick them.
If you might have to tuck tail, be cautious.
Imho, frick em. If things go awry but you revamp the opposition by attitude...you'll be noticed.

As soon as I signed my written offer from my new company, I let my current employer know. It's essentially 5 weeks notice
I am in management and I will also be in the same industry and using contacts at my current office.
I need to keep a really good relationship with everyone and I also wanted to show respect for my employer and the people I manage in that I am not jumping ship and I will help as much as possible with my transition out

Because the employer isn't looking for a job when they let you go/you quit.

If the employer treated you like shite, frick him he doesn't deserve your etiquette.
But if your employer treated you well, and paid you fairly then you need to give him two weeks.
I had a boss that treated everybody like shite. Worked for him for a few months and finally had it with him. Walked into his office one day and told him I quit. He said ok you got two weeks. I said no, sorry. I can't stay here anymore.

I would base it on how the company typically operates. For example, most firms I've worked for in the recent past didn't fire people as opposed to "letting go" with either 2 weeks notice or paid leave. Likewise in such circumstances I've given notice. If I worked for some sweatshop that frequently fired people and sent them packing I'd have no problem quitting without notice.

You don't have to, management might just write not to re hire you on your exit papers. I worked for a company that fired people when they gave their two weeks.

I usually give a month, but that is because I work in a niche area of the law. Don't want to give yourself a bad name within small circles and all that jazz.

Why? Well, if you're a valuable employee your boss would really like to know ahead of time so your departure can be planned for.If you're valuable enough then it would be even better to give as much advance notice as possible. That is, if you want to remain on good terms.
If you don't care about that, or if you were a shitty employee anyway, then you can just walk whenever and it won't matter.
If your company has to do lots of layoffs, the chances are that people know it is coming anyway and lots of money is at stake. The company's primary loyalty is to investors, not to employees. Often severance will be involved anyway.
Finally, if you're a true frickup then they can and will fire you on the spot.

Honestly in my 2 legal job changes thus far, I'm glad for the notice period and in one case I didn't get to finish it anyway.
In law especially, I have lots of shite I'll want to tie up (or gather up) before exiting.

Companies normally pay you a severance when you get laid off. They probably want you gone immediately in case you are mad and try to sabotage their computer data or something.

Yeah, 2wk notice is waste of time useless you want to hang around to get a free going away party.
Last job that I left, I quit via email. Like other poster said, it's a dog eat dog world.

Mostly because you're likely to directly sabotage the company once you hear you've been terminated.

In my last job (which was a bullshite summer job that dogs could do), I gave them a month notice because I wasn't going to stay once school started back up
My direct manager decided to try and make my last couple weeks a living hell because she's a count so I just didn't show up the last week. I wouldn't want that reference from those dumbfricks anyway so I didn't mind the burned bridge
