Do people still give 2 weeks notice when quitting a job?

When employers roll you out the door same day when they want to get rid of you?

1. No need to burn a bridge

You may need to cross it again someday.

3. I had a friend who put in her two week notice

She was fired the next day. Well, at least she could collect her unemployment insurance. :P

4. Yep..exactly the scenario I'm talking about..

They don't want people like me hanging around, with lots of access to lots of things..

6. There's another thing

They know your mind is not on your work those last two weeks...you're thinking about the new job and all it entails.

8. In your case it sounds like it's not warranted or will be appreciated.

But it really does depend on the job. I'm actually working for a company that I quit. I gave two weeks notice and left on good terms so I was re-hireable and did return.

edit for spelling. damn my fat fingers!

9. it depends on the job.

employers have to give respect in order to get it.

10. I think you do if you want your current job as a reference.

Jobs I have applied for all seem to tell me up front how much notice is expected. For managerial people it is 30 days rather than 2 weeks.
