I think this is fairly naive and depends a lot on your boss and company. I've worked at places where interviewing elsewhere is seen as disloyal. I know of places where giving your two weeks means getting escorted out on the spot.

I'm not saying these are great places to work, but they exist, and I bet they're not the minority.

Yep. If the reasons for leaving are mostly because of your managers are not being transparent, fair and honest. Don't tell. Just make sure you have job security before you will give the notice. This also makes sure you don't get hammered or cheated/delayed on payments because you decide to reply to an e-mail / linked-in message midday.

I've been fired for quitting, i.e. giving my two weeks notice.

I've worked places that walk folks out the door when they give notice.
