Screw employers... nearly every place is "at will" and can fire your **** without notice... and the same goes for you - leave without notice. If they suck that bad, stick it to them so long as you have another job ready to go. Enjoy those two weeks off.

Like it has been said before don't burn your bridges. People that you work with today could become your employer or mgr tomorrow, especially in the technology industry, it's a small world. And word of mouth can bite you in the ars.

When I hire someone, I usually do check with the previous company. In today’s legal society, they can’t say much, but that is one thing I will ask and usually get an answer to: did the [prospective hire] give proper notice. I still make the decision, but that does weigh in. Just my two paws worth.

Well time will tell. My gal couldn't take it anymore and has resigned her position without notice. She's showing the GM around her desk right now...where things are and such. I'm happy for her; anyone who gets to leave here on their own terms is a hero in my book. Financially we'll have to pull tight some strings but everything will be okay. As for myself, unfortunately, I'm too responsible a person to up and leave. I will continue working in this ses-pool whilest I try to learn some new computer skills and send out resumes.
