I've been working at the same place for over a decade, had the same boss for many years. I respect him, so I'll give him at least two weeks when I leave. But if he leaves before me, I'll be giving no notice at all.
My company has experienced a lot of enshittification over the last decade. In the last few years, the company has begun firing people with no notice. That is, you get a meeting notice for a one-on-one with your supervisor (which is a common enough thing), and security is there to walk you out. Someone else is sent to your desk to get your shit for you. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Want to say goodbye to your coworkers? Fuck you.
In the last round of firings, they gathered a hundred or so people in the training center and told them there that they were all fired. Because apparently we're cattle or something.
So yeah, if my boss leaves before I do, I'll be following company policy and give my two-seconds notice with my laptop and badge on a Friday around lunch time.
IBM used to hold all-hands in the big office, kill the power to the building, and selected people would be led with flashlights to their cube to pack a box under view of a security dood with the flashlight.
Do you have a source on that? It sounds evil enough for IBM, but logistically too problematic to be worthwhile.
