I work for a government contractor and they treat us like we're much, much less valuable than lego blocks. I live and work in New Orleans and was recently scheduled to attend a conference elsewhere. My employer actually expected me to drive to an airport 2.5 hours away to catch a plane so that they could save $70 on airfare even though they bill the government for travel. They know that I live about 5 minutes away from the main airport here. I'd quit right now if I though there was a chance in hell that I could get 2 weeks pay out of em.
I offered two weeks at my previous place of employment (of 8 years) and was escorted from the building within half an hour. Unfortunately for them I usually postpone "documentation" until my last two weeks... (To me, document is a noun, not a verb.)
When it really comes down to it, professionalism doesn't seem to matter much on either side in this line of work. Look at what you're wearing...

Ever used an ATM? If so, you've likely used OS/2.
Huh?

Take the two weeks pay and run!
