If you find new employment, how mandatory is the two weeks notice rule? What if your current position is being eliminated anyway, and you find something before they planned on terminating you? Are there any repercussions to leaving with little or no notice, particularly when you have not had a chance to do a knowledge transfer to your replacement, or even worse..if there is no replacement yet. What happens when things aren’t documented and employees leave with the info? I’m sure it’s happening a lot, I know I’m seeing it at my place. People are laid off with no notice and people are left scrambling trying to figure out how that person did their job..If you do give the employee some warning, and plan on them using that time frame to document and train, but they find something ahead of time, is it that employee’s responsibility as being the only one with the info, to stay on or be available after termination to answer questions?
