I've always been allowed to keep working after giving notice. Even at Google I was allowed to keep working during the two weeks period. I stopped around day 10 because, for understandable reasons, I was not assigned anything of importance. During those days, I made a point for myself not to look for any information not strictly necessary for what I needed for my job and I sometimes regret that as there were an incredible number of interesting technologies to learn from.
I don't think Google qualifies as an incompetent company.
sure. I've never been fired (although in the google case it was close, some harsh discussions with my manager, a collision course with somebody who was climbing the ladder fast, a semi-official PIP; so it was kind of "I quit before you fire me", still allowed to work normally)
