I had a job I loved, although it was owned by a complete asshole. I got a new job, at nearly double the pay. I agreed to give 2 weeks notice, even though it was going to cost me a lot of money, which I needed (this was my first good paying job, and I was broke).
Rather than understand that I was doing him a favor, my asshole boss decided to torture me for my final two weeks. I put up with it for a week, then told him I was done on Friday. I was essentially paying out of my pocket to give him 2 weeks, but I wasn’t going to pay him to abuse me, so I just left him standing there with his mouth agape.
I took the weekend off, and started my cool new new job on Monday (and it was a cool job, one of the best I’ve ever had).
In my area there is an actual law regulating this. You can leave earlier, but you won’t get payment for the last period if you do so, unless your employer agrees to pay it out anyway.
if it means you don’t get paid for hours you didn’t work then seems fair enough, if it means they can avoid paying out your time off or other benefits then fuck that
Two weeks is bullshit. Not a law nor rule.

It’s very satisfying when someone who thinks they have all the power suddenly realizes they don’t.

That’s true there is areas that have this law. I think mostly it doesn’t exist in most.

Not only “fuck that”, wage theft is illegal. Not getting your last paycheck is very easy to prove and you can sue for way more in damages.

And force you to train your replacement to remind you how disposable workers are.
Depends on where you live.
That’s true.
