| giving notice, help needed here
so, i need to know EXACTLY what is expected by law when leaving a long standing job. i've heard that the two week notice thing is more of a courtesy than a legal requirement? can someone help me find this info? thanks.

Don't burn any bridges when you leave. If you are leaving on good terms, your HR should be able to arrange for you to leave even faster than what the law requires.
I left my job with just 2 days notice because I was leaving on good terms and my employer understood that I was moving up to greater and better things. I did put in two 14 hr days to complete everything that I still had on my desk and do a good job...
Sorry, but I don't have the answer to your question.

If you want to quit today then you can.

DaFonz is right.
But its better to leave on good terms. If you just quit for no reason and you try to claim EI in the near future you will possibly by denied.

yea never burn your bridges..... One of my ex co-workers left on really bad terms. Basically he give his 2 weeks notice then start just fucking around at work, not doing his work, riding his bike around the office like is his playground, constantly showing up late......... and when mangers talk to him about it, he got piss and basically said he was doing this to help us get the work done.
One day mangers talk to him again and he just swear at the mangers and that was the breaking point lol. Manger told him, as of this sec he is no longer and employee and he will not get any reference from this company........ Years later I saw him working at timmys lol.
Just give your company 2 weeks notice (some company may require more so read your contracts) and do your work..... the industry you work in are pretty small and almost everyone knows everyone there so if you fuck up, good luck lol.

You seem angry with your company, my advice is do not act on that anger, do what's best for YOUR future and leave on good terms.

Say if you are a CEO of x company, most likely when you resign, you aren't allow to work for another company with that's competing with company x for a specific time frame (in case you give any future plans regarding company x to anyone else).
Even some mangers position require a month notice or more so the company have time to hire or train another person to take over your position.......

No matter how much you hate working there, do NOT do the walk in and quit thing...It's funny for co-workers to watch, but you get zero respect from people that may be in a position to help.

my job requires that I give 3 weeks of notice. there is also a no compete clause for 1yr. all this stated in the contract of which i was given a copy when i started 
so yes - read your contract!
