This is question that raised eyebrows at work because this happened to an employee yesterday.

yes. it's called voluntary termination. although this usually applies to just not showing up, most companies do have some kind of policies in regard to "calling in"
but, be it as it may, you should only care if you are worried that the next job that you apply for calls your current employer to find out why you left their company/organization

I'm sure you could get fired, but if you were really sick for a day or so (not the whole 2 weeks, of course) they would not be happy but they would understand. If they don't, then there is another reason to be glad you're leaving.
The bottom line, however, is you are quitting anyway so getting fired is a bit of a technicality except for the lost money for however many days you lost by being fired.
The worst part about it is you could be burning a bridge with that employer. So unless you are just summer help and never going to work in that field again, I wouldn't recommend it. The world is a lot smaller than you might think.

I additionally stay in Pennsylvania and the respond is definite. Your enterprise can fire you for this. Sounds to me such as you have neglected lots of artwork. basically approximately everyone can get an excuse from a scientific expert recently. An enterprise isn't legally certain to maintain an worker who has a bad attendance record. does not count number what the excuses are. in hassle-free terms ideal motives are those coated under FMLA or any sort of settlement you will have with your enterprise or union quite pointing out in any different case.

Sure you can. As long as you are employed, you can be fired. You are putting a hardship on the employer by not being at work, you have already given your notice. Your employer has little choice but to hire a replacement. Grow up!
