Oh well, at least your moving to Oregon. I'll be home on 27September, I should be in the Albany area
I don't think thats such a good idea, would be very suspicious if they fired him and a day later $1000 worth of stuff is missing.
Did they actually fire you or just ask you to leave instead of coming to work for the next two weeks?
Firing you because you gave notice is wrong
Sending you home instead of having you stay at work is just normal corporate policy.

it's called getting terminated for cause, which you weren't. In GA I can fire your ass for cause or 'just cause' and the law supports me. However, that doesn't happen to a smart employer that wants to attract good employees.
All these folks did is give you an unexpcted two week paid vacation. I understand your problem about the principal of it. I have to explain this to people all the time when they put in their notice.
Celesta hit the nail on the head. We don't want you to have 2 weeks to @%#$ something up or goof off. The why I see it, its a win/win (which rarely happens in the "real" world). You get a vacation and your former employer doesn't have to watch you like a hawk or worry about what damage you may have caused before you left.
However, NOT giving notice is just plain wrong. And any hopes of getting a good recommendation is gone as are the hopes of ever coming back. I know what you just said but you would be surprised the number of times I heard that and then got a phone call 6-7-12-18 months later wanting to know if they could come back. Might not happen with this employer but if you make that a habit, it will catch up with you at the WORST possible time.
Sorry....end of sermon.
