It's always a good idea to leave on the best terms you can, especially if you are seeking another job.
Last time I gave a 2 week notice to go to another job (it paid $3.50 more an hour), the old employer offered me a $4.00 an hour raise to stay. I Turned it down because the new job offered no weekends and the old one did more business during the weekend. Worked out for the best, the old job went belly up about 8 months later.
I would agree. I just started a new job. I'm really getting a bad feeling about it. Owners are very disorganized and I'm really feeling misled about the whole thing. I put in my 2 weeks at my last job and worked as hard on my last day as I did on my first day. On my last day my manager told me "If you find out grass really isn't greener on the other side, call me. You always have a job here"
So in a few days I may be giving that guy a call.
No you couldn't. At least not logically. The risk for the employee is not remotely close to the risk of the employer unless the job has some inherent danger.
I can agree with the OPs premise, but the example given was awful and didn't really pertain to the question.
Two week notice is courtesy to the employer. It is in hopes to stay on good terms so you have a good reference or can return down the road.
Never intended to have reciprocal benefit.
I can't imagine anyone giving two weeks notice without already having a new job anyway. If you do, and they tell you to leave now, it is your fault you lost work.
