It's my understanding NC & Cisco are at will, which means I am legally not required to give any notice, it's just a professional courtesy. Is this right?

From https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/notice :
(2) : the announcement of a party's intention to quit an agreement or relation at a specified time
This doesn't preclude a "specified time" of "right now."
From https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/advance-notice :
information, especially official information, about something that is going to happen in the future:
The notion of "future" would be more like "I'm quitting in two weeks."
Where do these clowns fall out from? You don't have to give anyone notice unless you have an explicit contract with terms and dates.
@1ldg+1uUpP349, if companies aren’t giving employees notice, why should we? Especially if you have no intention of going back.
You can quit w/o notice & still be professional. Or you can be a jerk & quit w/o notice. It just depends if you’ve left your tasks completed or in an easily transferred way or if you’ve left your tasks as a dumpster fire.
If any manager runs across my resume at some point & wants to hold my sudden, yet professional exit against me, then they’re toxic & I don’t want to work under them at a new job.

If you keep collecting a paycheck while no longer working for them I suspect there would be an argument for a civil fraud case against you. I don't think you necessarily need to give them advanced notice but for the employment to be terminated one side of the other should make that clear.
@rpl+1uUpP349 :) !!
Like you are going to leave. Ever
This is something you could have googled. Thanks for the noise.
You don’t have to legally give notice in any state as you are an at will employee unless you signed an explicit agreement to do so.
which even then is not binding because of right-to-work laws
