If I were to put in two weeks notice, it would be because I have a signed offer from another company.
If they renege on the promise of employment at the last possible second, why shouldn't someone be eligible for unemployment? The prior employer might not be able to take the employee back, and then they would be screwed
Because it would penalize the previous employer. That makes no sense just because the individual took on risk.
This post shows why it is important to stay on your meds.
Rather than saying something silly like you just said, you could do a better job by showing me what's wrong with my statement. I won't hold my breath though - logic doesn't seem to be your strong point after reading your mindless phrase.

Alright, I'll bite. Why is it irresponsible to leave one job for a better one? He didn't just "walk out" he gave 2 weeks notice. By your logic, anyone who ever tried for a better job is "irresponsible", since getting a better job pretty much necessitates leaving the old one.

I agree, the comment was unnecessary: (1) when is custom to provide your employer with 2 weeks notice; and (2) when you don't know the individual's reason to change careers.
The 2 weeks notice thing is overrated. Companies fire you the day they want to fire you with no qualms whatsoever. You don't owe them squat. You don't have to train the next person if you don't want to or give them details on what you were working on.
Do you have an offer letter from your new non-employer? If so, you might be able to take some legal action against them. You might want to consider consulting an employment attorney.
Sounds like you had it all planned out, doesn't it? Start to take personal responsibility for your actions. You walked out on the job - how do you expect to get unemployment insurance?
Why would they be so crazy as to give you something like that when you walked out on the job? You sound like an irresponsible worker to me.
Take responsibility for your actions? This makes no sense at all. The OP is simply trying to leave one job for another, while still being courteous to his current employer by giving 2 weeks notice. How else is someone supposed to change jobs? How is this irresponsible?
I agree with the poster who said you need to stay on your meds.

Uh, that's not what the OP indicates. If that's the case (that he gave 2 weeks notice), I have no problem with it. Perhaps he could take some English classes to better express his "problem" because the OP gives no indication that he gave 2 weeks notice at all.

Again, that's not what he/she/it indicates in the OP. If he did give 2 weeks notice then there's no problem at all with changing jobs.
I'm doing fine without any meds. Probably a lot better than you.
