Bloody slavery. If I decide I don't want to work for my company anymore. Its my freedom. I don't work' you don't pay me, simple. If an employer loses money because an employee left then thats tough shit and they should deal with it. Taking them to court and forcing money from them is bullshit.
Employee and employer agreed to given notice period beforehand; it's not a standard at-will contract. This was probably a professional position like an a lawyer, doctor, or engineer.
Exactly this. I am in consultation period and will potentially be made redundant. I wondered what would happen if I just "walked" given the circumstances. It's rather frustrating to see that it could have financial implications on me beyond that of not receiving my paycheck.
All I care about when I give notice is to get that last paycheck. I couldn't care less about the employer just come in do my best and finish everything out.

3-month notice??? 6-month??? is this some kind of joke???
Employer ain’t entitled to shit!
Does an employer give an employee notice when laid off or fired? If I'm leaving an employer they need to have earned my notice.

In the security field, I see many people just stop showing up for work, and they don't answer the phone either! Talk about being disenchanted!
I do it all the time. Just can't come back that's all.
Yep just go to lunch and never come back

Funny how they can fire people on the spot yet they expect 4 weeks notice themselves.
Screw them.
