In a lot of sales jobs, if you give notice, they walk you out the door that day. Last time I gave notice, I was the only person they didn't walk out the door, but they still only let me work eight more days and didn't pay out my vacation. So the next one who quit did it on 12/31 and said that was it, cited my treatment as her reason for no notice.

About 15 yrs. ago I gave notice and they asked what they could do to keep me, gave me a 40% raise on the spot, retroactive to the first of that month. How could I turn that down? Rode that one for another 10 yrs.

Current job requests 30 days notice, but everyone gets emailed a FedEx shipping label as soon as they give notice, so they can mail their laptop back that day.
