I'm leaning toward the 1 week notice on Friday of this week. I would say I got offered the job the day before and they need me to start in a week.

This is exactly what I think might be the case. She got called into our new managers office last week and was accused of doing many things incorrectly. It was almost all completely fabricated and could not be supported by any examples. Her and our new manager do not like each other at all and it sounds like they are laying the groundwork to get rid of her.

Since they are undergoing significant change, they may need to stay the full two weeks.
I like this idea except my start date is 2 weeks from Monday.
Do they need your work for the next two weeks? Then they won't fire you. If you're not needed to keep the wheels from coming off, they may tell you to take a hike. How did they handle the layoff of the others?
...I've been with my current company for 15 months now. We are going through a merger and about 6 weeks ago, the leadership of my team in addition to several others were all let go, about half the team...
did the employer give them 2 weeks notice prior to termination ?

"Im also aware employers do not give out information about an employee other than confirming the basics."
That may be true for your past organization (and maybe your present) but it's not limited by any law.
That said, with those major changes happening I'd be comfortable with providing a week notice and communicating that to any future employers.
Unless you authorize it, your former employer cannot legally disclose.

They have work for me the next 2 weeks but do not need me.
The others were "informed" on a Tuesday with their last day being Friday.

Can you send me links to information confirming your point?
There are no laws about former employers not being able to disclose information without authorization.
Employers can say what they want as long as it's true.
Has been discussed many, many times on this forum, and not one person has been able to prove the point that it's illegal in some shape or form for employers to give out any information on former employees besides date of employment.
You say Offer on the table - did you accept - worry about your next move first and get it in writing before giving notice.That way you can walk out same day you give the notice -you're worrying too much about your current job which already you've "checked out" from. Good luck.

Part of me does feel that management will not be okay knowing both her and I have given notice and are still "working" alone in the same room. I am concerned we will both give notice on Monday and be let go immediately after. I would prefer not to lose 2 weeks of salary before leaving.
Read what you wrote. These people cant value you that much(they dont) if this is the case. In a corporate setting, peoples coming and going are only mild disruptions in work flow in reality. If you are concerned about losing two weeks of pay in your gut, don't give it. Despite what people say, there is no burnt bridge syndrome anymore, and a expedited departure will not follow you anywhere. If you still worry about the burnt bridge legend, give them a week, and explain a personal situation prompts this. Both parties will not remember this event two weeks from now. Its not a big deal.
