No but more than likely if you're fired you're doing something you're not supposed to or illegal. You put in two weeks as courtesy to give them time to acclimate to you not being there.
I'm worried my former employer won't give me good references.
>the only way to get a good reference is to be a good goy and work for 2 more weeks
holy shit, I thought you boomers were good at cultivating relationships with each other.
You have the same mindset as people who tip because they don't want to get their food spit in.
You may not want to burn the bridge in case you need to go back. The job you're leaving for might not work out and you may need to go back to your old job.
It sucks that you have that mentality and bad experiences, but there are legit good to ok jobs out there with decent people. Sometimes you leave a job for more money or different hours, sometimes that new job doesn't work out how you thought it would and you need to go back to your former job.
My last job I used a former boss at the place I worked (who was fired) as a reference. So I just took one week off as sick leave and then the second week I just played around on google maps for 8 hours a day, fabricated work and then left. About a week later I had a bunch of messages from my old work which I just ignored.
Yes. I worked for a lab in China and they expect 8 months notice from foreign employees who'll refuse to renegotiate their contract. If you have some huge emergency or want to return home for treatment/surgery, they'll give you the option to stay and suffer or take a massive hit for violating your contract. I realised my next negotiation would slash my pay in half because the lab was in financial ruin, so I had to bribe my boss and frick my boss's boss for over a month because I'd missed my notice window and needed someone to sign me off before I got caught in the collapse.
Her son is some minor official, but she is genuinely an accomplished academic, so getting a middle management job in a new lab didn't require connections.
Almost half and it would have left me instantly homeless, without a visa. I would've had to panic and GTFO in under 24 hours. The absolute last thing you want is to be stopped by rural cops as a foreigner with no valid paperwork. A work buddy's visa still had 2 days until expiry and rural cops held him for 50 hours in a cell stinking of piss so they could make it look like they'd caught a Western spy and improve their reputation with superiors.
>putting in two weeks
do boomers really?
i dont want to burn bridges in case i need a reference
Does your employer give you 2 weeks when he fires you?
no but they sometimes offer months of severance
No but more than likely if you're fired you're doing something you're not supposed to or illegal. You put in two weeks as courtesy to give them time to acclimate to you not being there.
Sort of, it's called a severance package. I'd rather get the money than stay an extra 2 weeks.

>working for 2 more weeks so you can have the opportunity to grovel for your old job
you're still getting paid dipshit

your job probably isn't very important if they don't put in months long notice periods in your contract
Your job definitely isn't important if anyone is telling you what you need to do.
To some degree all jobs are important. Not everybody is cut out to be in charge.

i hope it wasnt a dude
A woman in her late 50's. She was an absolute c**t, smoked constantly and looked like someone had draped a skin suit over a skeleton.
kek who was she related to?
Her son is some minor official, but she is genuinely an accomplished academic, so getting a middle management job in a new lab didn't require connections.
>take a massive hit for violating your contract.
what kind of hit? Cant be worse than half pay
