My 20 years of mgmt exp would like to greatly thank you for the text OP Leaving with a reason puts you above 60% of all the other ppl that just stopped coming in altogether lol
No! My permanent record!
I mean - it kind of is? I believe a company is allowed to ask another company if they’re eligible for rehire - and they record those things in their HR systems.
Even with a proper notice, most larger businesses mark someone as ineligible for a year.
This is true. The other company can ask HR to consult the big book of grudges to determine if there are indeed grudges.
Given that person already found a new job, if they plan to keep it for long, the previous company's record won't be useful anymore.

Two weeks is bullshit. Not a law nor rule.
In my area there is an actual law regulating this. You can leave earlier, but you won't get payment for the last period if you do so, unless your employer agrees to pay it out anyway.
if it means you don't get paid for hours you didn't work then seems fair enough, if it means they can avoid paying out your time off or other benefits then fuck that

They're not wrong though, assuming they're in the UK and/or their contract agrees a minimum of two weeks notice, as is standard.
This applies both ways. I expect this employee would be angry if their employer breached their contract to sack them immediately without this notice, but if the employee breaches those same terms of their agreed contract that's....okay? No.
Regardless of their feelings, it's very unprofessional, petty even, and depending on how litigious and unhappy with them their employer is, not a very smart idea.
There are many edge cases where things must be looked at differently of course (someone resigning over harassment at work would not wish to remain there for a fortnight serving their notice for example), but this must be discussed and agreed upon, because again, it deviates from the legally binding contractual agreement they both signed.
This employee, regardless of any legitimate grievances, in this communication is unprofessional, petty, and frankly childish.
While I don't know the story behind their falling out, I suspect the employer will be glad to see them go. I wouldn't want them working for me, or even work with them as a colleague. They sound awful.
While yes it is a legally binding contract, the penalties must be laid out in that same contract and will usually be limited to any direct losses as a result of an employee quitting without notice which are, by definition, limited.
If the reverse happens, the employee would be entitled to their pay for the remainder of the notice period.
OTOH, if this is in the US, we are almost entirely at-will when it comes to employment; we can be terminated at any time, for something as petty as the boss not liking our socks, no heads-up required.
Here the two weeks notice is considered a courtesy, and sadly fewer and fewer businesses are proving worthy of that courtesy. It seems from the post title that this company did not deserve much respect at all.
