It happens to a lot of people. I wouldn't report him or anything. At least now you know who you were REALLY working for.

Yes, this has happened to me. I was a waitress in a restuarant that was open 24/7. I worked alone where two other shifts had two waitresses. I was just as busy as they were, & on my shift I also had to wash the dishes. I gave 2 wks. notice & the employer got angry and would make snide remarks & pull mean stunts. One day she made the comment that maybe one day she would get the kind of help she paid for. At that point I told her, "You don't pay me near what I'm worth (2.50/hr), and if you make one more smart remark, I won't finish my last two weeks. I'll walk right out that door." After this, she never spoke to me the rest of those two weeks." After I left, she bet some of her regular customers that I would be back within 3 months. That was 20 yrs. ago, and I'm still at the job I left the waitress job for.
Furthermore, employers usually don't get angry when they lose a bad employee, so if you're employer gets mad that you're quitting, then you know you were obvioulsy a good employee.

I recently gave my employer a six week notice out of the goodness of my heart. They didn't like me leaving and treated me like an outsider the whole six weeks. I just said to my self that at least they weren't glad to see me go. My leaving them was not a good thing for them so I felt pretty good about my performance and value in the company.
Your boss is probably feeling a lose because you are leaving. Don't let them get to you, and a two week notice is important for reference. Anything can be endured for two weeks and you will have your self respect at the end of it.

sure been there done that.
My solution was to sit back do nothing at all and just mock the fact that they are still paying me.
I got called into the office and they told me to pull my sock up, I faked being intimidated (shh dont tell themn walked out and went home) I had a friend of mine from school who happened to be a doctor write a certificate for the remaining time as stress related illness- so basically they got what was coming to them.
best paid leave i ever had.
oh well my thought was if they want to treat me like sh1t after so much faithful dilligent service well screw them, after all i already had a new job so i didnt need theor reference.

I have resigned before but everyone was nice to me about it, and I am actually still friends with them.
Just think about the fact that soon you won't have to be there anymore and you should feel better. Also if you do an exit interview with HR make sure to mention it but be professional and don't curse them out or anything.

I haven't, however, one of my mates gave 4 weeks notice and in the last 2 they increased his responsibilities and workload so he turned his mobile off for 2 weeks and just didn't go back.
Ultimately he figured he could go to a doctor and get the time off on stress leave if they had an issue about it.

I resigned from my position, gave 2 weeks notice and then when I got my check they had pro-rated my vacation so it was only $100 for 2 weeks work..

Yep, happens all the time.
In my industry, you give your two weeks notice on the last day you plan on working, because they accept your resignation effective immediately, and send you on your way.
Remember, the two weeks is for their benefit, so if they abuse it, just go ahead and quit early, explaining why you are.

It has never happened to me personally at least not yet, but what I would do is to report them to the "Equal Opportunity Employment Commission" in your area.
