What about notice period of 45 days? Also, in case that is true, does insurance coverage also stops the same day?
It can’t you just resign without telling where you’re going?
You can.
The official policy is you get walked out. However you don’t have to tell anyone where you’re going. Most managers won’t enforce the policy if you tell them and are on good terms. The walk out will definitely get enforced by HR if you or your manager indicate where you’re going after on the exit survey. You will still get two weeks of pay and are still technically employed in terms of stock vesting, health insurance, etc. but you will lose your access. Insurance coverage will stop after that but you are covered by Cobra retroactively for a few months.
Its true for Amazon, Facebook, salesforce and Netflix as well AFAIk
Wow I didn’t know they were so vengeful ....
They aren't. They do it to limit leaks and last minute stolen documents / code / decisions etc.
How is that vengeful?
Not true if you and manager are on good terms
Yes in the case of my colleague actually the manager and managers of sister teams actually manhandled the guy and literally threw him out of the campus.
What????? Man handled .... seriously??? .... I know that Indian companies are unprofessional but this is Microsoft we are talking about here not shit show cognizant.
I was told it’s 48 hours, and pretty chill. This info is current as of this month.

Is it cheaper to eat chipotle everyday than buy groceries ?
Yes, maybe not always, but I saw it happened. There is no requirement for 45 notice. Insurance stops, but you get cobra.
Does COBRA apply in India?
Probably not. 45 days is a requirement in India, IIRC. Check the “Leaving Microsoft” article on HRWEB, they have an exhaustive table listing every country’s requirements.
