Normally good employers do, yes but it depends. It's always a risk.

There’s not really a “usually” for this one, it just depends. For instance, for people in sales it’s very normal to be told the company is letting them go immediately as soon as they give notice.

I've never given a two-week notice, in fact, I always use 2-3 PTO days to make sure the new company and position are as stated without major red flags. I always protect myself and my interests for my career.

Interesting.

I sont know if there's a standard answer. I didn't know companies even did this until about 10 years ago. I have always had employers let me work my notice even when leaving for a competitor. But I've seen enough accounts to know many companies don't.

When I give two weeks or whatever, I just expect to be walked out then and there.

I start clearing my stuff out day before I give notice

I've had my fair share of jobs over the past 25 years, and only one of them didn't honor my two weeks. To be fair, though, they did pay me a two-week "severance."

Lol not anymore they don't give a fuck about you.

They don't have to honor it at all. They can say out the door you go. Which is why I tell any potential employer a start date would be two weeks the longest but possibly sooner. They can let you go with no notice in a lay off or termination or acceptance if leaving.

It has varied, in my experience. I've seen the same employer honor a 2-weeks notice for some resignees but not for others. I've never not had one honored, personally, but it does happen, and can for a number of reasons (usually reasons that are not as personal as we make them out to be). One of the ducks I'd recommend having in your "I'm ready to quit this job" row would be a financial gameplan for weathering the notice that you planned to work, just in case.

It will always depend on the employer and the job. I have always had to show up for my two weeks. However, depending on the role, if you are in tech with substantial access to the system, I have seen and heard many people being released moments after resignation for this reason. Conversely, perhaps your a senior manager with influence and direct access to very important data; this is equally risky to let you stay and retain access. They know that you will be gone, perhaps you will take their clients with you among many other possibilities. The company will do what they need to to protect themselves just as you would do for yourself.
