why you need to WAIT to quit
why can't you just not turn up?
tell them you're leaving - don't show up. what will they do to punish you? fire you for not showing up?

Also it means that I quit, as opposed to get fired - looks very different on a CV.

My stepdad left his job at Focus, he gave them a letter and everything, but he couldn't leave for another two weeks!
It's madness!

but they'll escort me off the premises because I have full access to the servers :) So they can't really let me work an extra week.
Also if you don't work your notice period, they can withhold pay (it's usually in your contract).
