Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?

What are the ramifications of that? EDIT: I’m going to a competitor and am afraid that I’ll be walked out. In which case I would like to have my start date be right after my last date. But the new company needs to know my stat date ahead of time.
Depends on how much you care. Companies never give you 2 weeks notice before giving you the boot so I can’t really blame you for not giving it to them. Just depends on what kind of person you are.
No ramifications. No one cares
Keep in mind that, depending on your role and job history, a future employer may ask for past references. It's typically best not to burn bridges if you don't have to. I agree with @dogtoy, only do less than 2 weeks if there is a good reason.
Is that possible legally?
There is no law against quitting your job whenever you feel like it. Your employer may penalize you (e.g., you may lose out on RSUs that haven't vested yet, they may claw back part of a signing bonus, etc), but there is no law that directly prevents you from quitting.
You can definitely do that. But I case you will need something from this employer in the future, for example, employment history proof, they may not be willing to do that, legally.
Yes, don't burn Bridges
But what if they walk me out?
You will burn in the pits of hell
Just give your notice and say you have decided to make a change but aren't sure where you are going next. No need to say you are going to company X. And almost 100% of the time, you get paid for 2 weeks even if you get a walkout anyway.

Don’t say where you are going. Tell your manager that you would rather not disclose. You are under no obligation to do so, and it’s best for you and your current employer that you finish well.
The acceptable norm is two weeks notice. I’d suggest only give less than two weeks if you either don’t have the option to give two weeks (need to start new job or move right away) or if you think the company would be walking you out anyways (competitor). Consequences are mainly burning bridges and yes could be considered rude. Depends a lot on your situation though. Just finished a project? No big deal. In the middle of a key feature design? Maybe don’t. Balance professional courtesy with whatever is right for you.
I’m going to a competitor and am concerned that I’ll be walked out and can’t deal with a two week period of unemployment. Is it reasonable?
Seems like given those circumstances I see why you wouldn’t want to give more notice. In case you feel like people will think it’s rude you could always explain your situation. It’s a custom but not a requirement. Good luck!
