2 weeks notice?

[Anonymous Coward]

If someone is going to be a problem, you can just let them go in most states. If you feel bad about letting them go, give the 2 weeks pay. You don't have to and you can let them go any time.
People think there is some mythical 2 week rule. No mater where you work, you could be let go tomorrow for any reason without notice.

So if this guy was some kind of problem they should have just given him his walking papers. If it was something else, well they are just stupid anyway.

Places also just give you a check for those last two weeks (along with all the other money they owe you) and out the door you go- two weeks to job hunt while still on the payroll.

Desertion "in time of war"

[Anonymous Coward]

And desertion by members of the armed services in time of war is punishable by death, and yet somehow George W. Bush was never court-martialed, convicted, and appropriately sentenced.

Neither are the ~50 soldiers who are chaptered out for desertion at the Personal Control Facilities at Ft. Sill and Ft. Knox every week.
