I live in a state where they can let you go without even a day notice. So I always look at it this way. If you're leaving on good terms and your current boss is really good and they're cool about it, sure give them 2 weeks notice and part on good terms. But if you're getting out of a toxic company full of toxic people, give them the same amount of notice they would give you if they were gonna fire you tomorrow. Aka none.
