I dunno, Cicso - and you know I hate to disagree with you - but it depends on why you're being fired. If you've done something to harm the company, why would the employer give you more to time to do more harm?
However - on the occasion that people are let go for budgetary reasons, it is ABSOLUTELY appropriate to give the employee notice. And, I'm pleased to say, that this very small company that I work for has given notice of lay offs. It still stinks to be laid off and to have to do the lay off, but we did try to do the right thing and give them notice.

I've always thought so. Turnaround is fair play, so I don't have much of a problem in walking out if the situation warrents. It's no prob for them to tell you to walk that day, so the reverse is true to me also.
Employed at will also means we can call it quits anytime. It's not a double standard.

Not going to happen unless you are represented by a union and probably not even then. Most of us are 'employed at will' which means employers can fire us at any time & for any reason, without notice.

that would be asking for all kinds of trouble. think about it if you knew you were gonna be fired anyway what would be the point of getting up early and going in on time. what would stop you from doing things you shouldnt. what if you could say anything you wanted to the boss who gave you the notice. nothing to stop you. what are they gonna do fire you? see?

Nah. There's never a good time to fire me. If they do it in the morning I'm mad because they knew it the day before and they could have fired me then and I wouldn't have had to get up early. Then if they do it in the afternoon I'm mad because they knew that $hit was coming and let me work all day anyway.

In my personal experience, if you are executive level in a corporate environment, and they are going to give you that undeserved corporate screwing, you often do get notice.
(See the Dave Checketts situation, at Madison Square Garden, in 2001) he knew for quite a while, possibly months. Totally undeserved, and disgusting.

I think it would only be polite if they were letting you go, like if the company was downsizing or something and it wasn't anything personal.
If you were actually, truly fired, for doing something wrong like embezzling or something, I don't think two weeks' notice is necessary.

I'm sorry sweetie! That would have been much more polite and ethical, but some employers aren't so cool.
Can I offer any support?

most businesses aren't going to give you notice that they are going to let you go, would give you the chance to do some real damage to their accounts. It is only right though that they would give you at least two weeks severence pay.

If you are getting fired I don't think they care too much about polite, it is about getting rid of you as soon as possible.
