Plus if you are laid off from lack of work, you will almost NEVER get two weeks to prepare. My point is, always prepare for immediate dismissal. No employer, at least in my industry, is obligated to give you two weeks. You should still make sure not to leave any projects unfinished and even leave written instructions in some cases to make it a smooth transition for your replacement. This will ultimately protect your reputation which in this economy is sometimes all we have.
