If you're in a role that is even remotely security sensitive, including having any kind of direct communication with clients, odds are also pretty high that they'll just accept your resignation immediately and not have you work out the two weeks.
It's more or less the same reason they typically don't give notice to people in those roles when they're getting laid off and just surprise them with it out of the blue. There's slightly less risk you'll say or do something harmful when you're the one who chose to leave (and if they have half a brain, they should realize you could already have done whatever you were going to do in the previous two weeks too), but it happens a lot.

Not my experience at all, from many high-level roles with access to everything. I've always stayed at least 2-3 weeks for a clean transition.
- smeej 3y agoCongratulations on being an exception to the "pretty high" odds, I guess. I'm glad people haven't been like that to you.
- jjav 3y agoMy point isn't about me, it's to say this is the norm. In well over 20 years of a career, I've also seen a lot of coworkers resign and not even once have any of them been kicked out the same day.
