^This. It's a catch-22. I had a buddy at a job that gave 2 weeks notice when he found a new position out of state. He made all his arrangements around accomodating the company for a smooth transition, and they packed him up and pushed him out the day he gave his notice.
The next month, I was in the same boat - I'd found a better position out of state. Seeing how my buddy was treated, I told them on my last day, literally the day before I moved.
O. M. G.
They wailed and cried. How could I not give notice? It was such a betrayal, what had they ever done to me? Was I that unhappy? Why? They had thought of me like family!! I pointed out their treatment of my co-worker the month before and apparently, though the situations were identical, this was
completely different. It was hilarious.
Observing similar contradictory situations over the years, I'd say the only sensible thing to do is take whatever action is best for you, and not worry about the company's reaction - which is precisely what they will do. People talk of burning bridges but personally, I've yet to see it impact anyone.
