My state is at-will. My company does not permit references to be given. The company will not give you notice if they are terminating you.

When I leave, I'm packing all my stuff and giving my notice on the day I plan to leave. If the company is not loyal to its employees, why should I be loyal to them.

Watch out about this. When you leave an organization everyone else talks about you if you do it in a funny way.

Those stories go through the grapevine and to other organizations. I had a manager say he was a great fit except he didn't give his 2 week notice at company XYZ when he left the team that my brother was not working on.

Suffice to say an awesome candidate didn't get the role.

Edit: Also remember never to give more than the legal notice period. This is mentioned in other comments as well. Also prior to giving your 2 weeks notice make sure you pack all your belongings and having nothing personal left on your desk when you go to break the news. You may be walked straight out without the chance to get your items as it will be mailed to you.

I think my org is insulated more from others. In my 8 years, I see hardly anyone being hired from outside orgs and few people leaving for other orgs. I don't think I've heard any stories about people not being hired for how they quit. We've even had people just not show up.
