Tickled Pink, your company probably did that because they wanted to reduce liability, not because they had to (if your state is an at will state, and most are)

Yes, our state is an at will state also. But the company has to pay the unemployment (in situations where it is paid). When they released people for the 2wks notice due to working for competitors, they don't want to give the person a chance to get confidential information/ files that can be used on the new job.
Oh - and former company. I quit my job months ago (family decision - weird hrs, new baby, too much stress...etc.), so I'm also unemployed, but I'd been there so long that I still have contacts there and like the company.
ETA: At any rate - AOX81 - good luck in your job hunt. Luckily, I'm finding alot of employers actually want you to apply online - so this cuts down on the rat race considerably.
