Bob, I disagree. It's not poor ethics. It's sop in many businesses for just the reasons JJ outlined. While he may not have said it as nicely as you might like, he was factual.
The original poster is giving notice because he doesn't want to work there anymore. A disgruntled employee hanging around for two weeks on the company dime is most likely to do more harm than good. Why would you want to pay for that? It is poor ethics. He said when he receives a two weeks notice, he fires the person on the spot. It is an ethical courtesy they provide you 2 weeks notice. You respond by firing them. You talk about lazy workers not working and just hanging around... okay... fire them. But the fact you get a 2 weeks and fire someone immediately is poor ethics. If the person slacks off and does not work - then you fire them. If you have an issue where the person directly poses a risk to the bank, then fire them. Don't fire someone because you are assuming they are going to stop working. Take action when action is warranted. By just firing anyone who hands a 2 weeks notice you are showing a complete lack of ability to accurately assess risk.

A policy of saying to one person, yeah we need you, stick around for two weeks, and telling another employee, you can take off now with no pay is not the right way to go IMO. I have never seen that big bank or small. The two weeks pay even when telling an employee to leave immediately says a lot about the integrity of the bank you work for.
I am not HR, but a termination policy should be consistent, I would think. In one way, I certainly see your point. However, our organization makes the call based in large part on where you are going. Are you going into a completely new line of work? You're expected to work your final two weeks. Going to a direct competitor? There's the door...if they don't hire you immediately, we'll pay you for two weeks from accrued vacation and/or our own funds. Going to a different bank but not a competitor in market territory or type of business? Probably sticking around. IMO, you can have general guidelines, but no two situations are the same and there has to be flexbility built in. Just needs to be established with legal counsel advice, too.

Wish I knew what had happened darn curiosity. Can't imagine it was worth losing your cool and saying something terrible... It was an anonymous post on a thread over 6 years old.

I'm guessing (completely speculating here) that it came from a random Google search about employment policy and not a regular BOL poster.... but who knows.
