If you know anybody who quit, do you know what was their exit experience like? Primarily, if they gave two weeks' notice, did they get to work for those two weeks or not? I've heard people are sometimes immediately escorted out, but that sounds more like a rumor gone wild than anything else.

I gave 2 months notice for resignation. I also said I was going to use paid sick time on my last week (which got approved).
The manager I had coordinated my exit, but for the project I was on I reported to another application manager whom hated me. The app manager that hated me was hands off and didn’t tell anyone on the project I would be leaving.
The very last day people found out it was my last day and he put pressure on me to scramble to turn over information (I already had it documented and prepared ahead of time without him telling me). I sat maybe for an hour explaining anything before I handed my laptop and badge to be a good person since his project was a dumpster fire because every single deadline was missed.
I thought the app manager whom hated me was unprofessional in so many ways, and the last conversation I had with him he only cared about money in his life and wanted to find out how much I was making. I didn’t give him the satisfaction so I read the BNYM corporate policy to him at the time which was basically no discussing compensation unless it is to your manager.
I gave my 30 day notice and it was awkward working for that time. They sent out a survey asking about your manager and I never filled it out. My last day was super awkward too. I was told to leave early instead of working the entire day. I handed over my badge, equipment was mailed back to headquarters and that was it.
I gave my required 5 weeks, followed all good leaver guidelines and offered to help coworkers on weekend projects. All to be a good guy and get a well earned bonus, but I was sc--wed by an arrogant manager who stole my bonus
I gave my notice in late January - roughly 3 months early. I did this since I was never going to be laid off and receive a package. By giving a long lead-time, I am able to truly do very little work and still keep getting my paycheck for these 3 months. I'm retiring, so this gives me a few months to build up my savings and jam BNY at least a little bit before I leave.
It depends on where you are going and what you are doing. In customer-facing roles, they tend to say bye bye immediately.
Let’s be honest. If I am forced to stay, I am no longer working more than 40 hours a week.
If you’re a J above you need to give 30 days or more. I went to a competitor but a completely different side of the industry so I stayed my 4 weeks. Others who went to competitors that serviced similar clients got put on garden leave right away. If you don’t sign anything though, it’s none of their business.
It’s all meaningless. I could tell my new firm the prices clients pay BNYM and give my company a chance to outbid BNYM and poach those clients.
It can depend on your role. If you are an operations person, maybe you stay. If you are sales, probably not.
