    Bigger work load to clear up loose ends. On last day, no one at office. I had to lock up and close and lock property gate myself. It was kind of a let down.

    I gave just short of one month's notice. I managed a large team and had several projects underway at the time that I wanted to complete so that the team would have an easy transition. My boss told HR that he wanted me to be gone by the end of the week (on Wednesday night) - which meant that there was no time to transition my products or responsibilities to my colleagues and left everyone scrambling following my departure. Ironically, my boss was so anxious to get rid of me, that on my last day at work - everyone else left the office before I did - and I literally turned off the lights and locked the doors my way out - which is a huge breach of NISPOM regulations.

    Not much differently than before I gave notice.

    Not well. When I was hired on, my employer at the time made it clear that two weeks was preferable. Down the road I did, and my employer's behavior became condescending.

    Like I did not exist anymore.

    I honestly don't recall the response from the last job I was able to do that for. I've been downsized, reorg'd, or "let go" from all but 1 of the past 5 jobs I've held in the past 20 years. I believe that company treated me fairly and without any distrust.

    Better then when they thought I needed them and would not go anywhere.

    I didn't put it a 2 week notice. I was forced to resign by the owners wife and the new manager. They also forced the manager of 20 urarsu to resign so they could run the company i the ground

    No issues; if individuals behave professionally, there should never be a problem with this.

    I have always left on good terms and don’t burn bridges. In return I have been treated with respect and treated fairly. I usually do not serve out the two weeks (although I have done so occasionally) for confidentiality reasons.

    It depends on the company. Some, very nicely, some very poorly.
