I'm thinking about quitting my job soon, and would like to stay in the UK for 6-8 weeks after I quit before returning to the US. I've heard that once employment is terminated, the visa is no longer good and you have <2 weeks to leave. Is this true? Can I just stay and then leave in 2 months with no problem? Or can I leave the country soon after I quit and then come back right away on a tourist visa?

Your visa remains valid and you can lawfully remain upon it until expiry.
You cannot:
Work for any other employer (paid or unpaid)
Leave the UK and return on that visa (at least - not lawfully)
Remain beyond its validity unless you have applied for an extension or variation before it expires.

You need to check your visa and contract that you signed for a work visa. In the States for example you have 90 days to leave, so 2 weeks seems alot sharp to me to leave the UK, but I could be wrong! Also if you are fired/leave on your own accord, are they still responsible to fly you and your belongings back to the States. So you have to pay yourself?
All the details should be in your documents.
