After I put in my notice at a previous employer I was explicitly told by management at the end of the day to not return to work out my notice, my resignation was accepted immediately.

When I did not come in to work the next day I was fired for a “no call, no show.” It was just one more way to fuck me over on the way out the door.

If I had the time, resources, and knowledge I could have had a legal case but I was just thankful to be leaving such a toxic hellhole.
