Say you tell your boss you're quitting and you're giving 2 weeks notice but they get mad and fire you, can they do that?

Yes this can happen, and often does. Be the better person though so your boss has a chance to find a replacement.

Depends on the state laws for employment. I know Ohio is an at will employer, meaning as long as they don't enfrindge on your constitiutional rights, they can fire you for anything, at any time. Yes, the situation you refer to above has happened more often than not. Most of the time, once a 2 week notice is dropped off, if you do not have a postion where you have to train someone to replace you, your employer will let you go mainly because you know your leaving so you will probably slack off the next two weeks and just collect a pay check. It may not be your style, but more often than not its what happens. Employers look out for our own money, just like you watch out for yours. Its a finance protection plan so to speak.

They can.
Think of the harm you could do in two weeks. Screw up their files, try to steal their customers, screw up the books,etc. Not saying you would, but they don't know that. Also, would you do meaningful work in the two weeks, or just waste time?. Often it is not"getting mad" but facing reality.
I once handed in 2 weeks notice to go to a better job. I had thought about photocopying all the data about their customers, but figured, "no, that would be theft."But I could have done it. "

Nope - it won't make a distinction. the reason being easy. You for sure do no longer belong to a hard paintings union, and hence you will possibly be terminated for ANY reason. in case you have been component to a hard paintings union, the corporate would would desire to tutor "purely reason" to your termination. yet, virtually all of places recently enable "at will employment" meaning you will possibly be terminated for no reason in any respect. notice does not do a difficulty to guard your rights in an "at will" jurisdiction. in case you do in comparison to this, style a union or hit upon a activity with a union company.

In some states it is legal to fire someone for any or no reason at all. It is not a nice thing to do, but yes, they can

They probasbly can but it does seem like a good case for the labor board you could be compensated that ought to really get their goat.

Yes, they can. Most don't do that, but some will. Usually it has nothing to do with you however, but some past experience of the employer.
