Will Oracle walk me out same day? If I say I am going to competitor

I hear that Oracle will ask people to pack-up same day, if they submit 2 week notice and declare that they are going to a competitor(Azure, GCP, AWS). They pay for two weeks, but you don’t have to work. I am trying to confirm if this is true ? Does it apply to all roles/levels or certain senior levels. Is it a documented policy. Anybody know ?

Just don’t tell them where you’re going?

Isn’t it better, if asked to stop work on day of resignation and still be paid for two weeks?

Thats like free money 💰

On the other hand, being asked to leave same day, but not get paid for two weeks, is not so good

Can you not lie? Is it mandatory to tell them the actual company you will be joining?

Can I ask my manager or HR to have me stop working(take away my work vpn access) but pay me for two weeks. Because I am declaring that I am joining a direct competitor?
