Does anyone have any experience directly or knows someone who left AT&T? Did they give 2 week’s notice? I know that I don’t have to but am wondering if there are any cons. I think the worst AT&T could do is say that I can’t be rehired.

Yes, I left recently. Once you put your 2 weeks in, expect to have all of your access turn off by EOD. Bet on it 100%. Make sure you get what you need before you sent your resignation email.
The last few people who quit around here were promptly told to hit the bricks. No notice was accepted.
I haven't returned, nor do I have any intentions of trying to return.
I left, with just 6 hours notice. I notified them around 6a, told them I expected to be off payroll by EOD, and I was.
I was told by HR AVR that my indicator was marked as rehirable.
It’s just good practice. If I was a new employer I would raise an eyebrow at a potential new hire that didn’t give notice (assuming I knew or found out).
This is going to vary by department for sure. A salesperson in a wireless store is going to be a different situation than a network tech, for example.
I really want to know why the two people who left on their own accord, came back to this company. Please tell us. Was it, as someone else noted, no other jobs?
If you do anything even remotely important for this company be prepared to be walked out immediately even with a two week notice. Stank is so paranoid you will tell all of T’s secrets to competitors that they will let you go on the spot. I have seen this happen to multiple coworkers
"Yes. Two weeks. I did not burn any bridges and came back in ten months to the management job I left."
I agree with the above. It is a professional courtesy, and I want to maintain my professionalism despite the lack thereof elsewhere. Also, keep in mind... when speaking of burning bridges, it's not just "the company" that you should think about. Think about coworkers or other management personnel that you may want to interact with in the future. It's best not to leave doing anything less than professional. It's a small world and, although you may never want to work for AT&T again, you may end up working with or for past coworkers.
I plan to leave early next year. I plan to give two weeks notice, but I will be prepared for them to just "walk me out" the day of... I have heard of that happening. That way, I will be totally prepared with respect to taking advantage of holidays, vacation time, etc. Best of luck to you.
I was laid off on June 20. My last day on payroll is December 1. In my organization the support staff was given far less time to leave; generally less than a month.
You came back?? Why? Seriously question. Was there no other job?
I left AT&T, gave a two weeks notice. I left on a good note. Six months later I was rehired, absolutely no problems or retaliation
Yes. Two weeks. I did not burn any bridges and came back in ten months to the management job I left.
