Companies in the US fire employees with no notice all the time. They dont want some angry person around who knows they are only around for a short time.
I guess if they notice period only applies to employees and not also the employer, then it would be justifiable to ignore it. But otherwise it will make you the asshole.
As someone who was very recently fired without warning my approach is very simple: I have limited loyalty to the companyI work for, but I have a duty to do right for my coworkers. There’s a good chance I’ll encounter someone I’ve worked with before in a future job, and maintaining good relationships with former colleagues can be good for future career prospects. In short, businesses generally cannot be trusted, but people often can be
At will work says they can fire me for any reason or no reason at all with no notice, they fought for that right so why should I care if they’re upset I treat them the same way they fought to treat me. I don’t disagree it’s a shitty way to act but who’s fault is it really?
Not giving the required notice kind of makes you the asshole, though.

fair point.
This^ it can’t be one sided. Also my life over your money. Which is is more important?
Paying me something barely over minimum wage makes them an asshole. We’re even.
If the notice period is legally binding, they could sue you for damages of missed labour and breach of contract.
Let me introduce you to something known as “at will employment”

Lawmakers.
I’d say employers. Lawmakers only do it to satisfy businesses.
Right, so they are not doing their job properly, which makes it their fault.
That’s the judicial system that fucked that one up, the government is complex and often times dumb but I get your point.
