This woman came to TikTok to express her situation regarding her job after she decided to put in her two weeks' notice.
She received a lot of attention for her video because she claimed that she was wrongfully terminated, but many people tried to explain that this might not be the case. She explains that she submitted her two weeks' notice on a Wednesday, but then they fired her the following Friday.

She explains that her boss approached her and told her that because she had only been there for 6-7 weeks, she didn't need to work there after that day. She concludes by saying, “Make sure you have an emergency fund before you quit.”
“I’m going to email my boss and ask for severance pay.”
However, this statement prompted many people to jump into the comments to inform her that severance pay might not be available to her in her situation.
She posted a part two video on the situation after trying to find out more about whether or not it was justified.
She also explains that she had been at her job for two years but had only been working in that particular role for 6-7 weeks. Ultimately, she concluded her statement by noting that she is in an at-will state, meaning her job could technically fire her at will, regardless of the circumstances.
People started commenting, and their responses were quite humorous.

This probably would have been her best bet, as it clearly backfired on her.

I don't know the rules, but people seemed to think she wasn't going to receive severance pay.

Well, this was an interesting story. Clearly, she didn't receive her severance pay, and I think this serves as a lesson for us all: never submit a notice if you're not prepared to be fired.
Ultimately, many states are at-will, so before doing what she did, just check to see if you're in the clear.
