This may seem draconian, but... - I've been in places which have tossed people out with 2 weeks notice. - I've been in places where people have been stiffed their earned bonuses. - I've been in places where people haven't been let back to their desks. This beats all of them, especially if the comp is generous. It is very hard to change a manager's mind. If they're convinced it's time to go, better to encourage the move and be generous. (To stiff the employee implies a hiring decision, which was the manager's fault to begin with.) The one caveat is some top firms allow people to spend the next few months with an office to encourage another employer to hire them away.
