Quit today, 1 week notice, working it or not?

Quit today, it's a hybrid call centre job and I'm coming up to the end of my probation and honestly it's really not the job for me.
Plus I haven't been doing great in the case of hitting targets and expected performance, not massively though.
The only reason I'm not sure is other people have recently left but have gone there and then.
Plus I have access to things like personal details and am able to process payments/refunds, not that I would but I suppose some people could take advantage.
I gave a weeks notice was it was in the contract and I need the money.( Have a new job starting next week)
I did it by speaking to my supervisor and he wished me well and said he'd process it with HR.
I'll be there at the start of the shift regardless, really don't like the job but like I say, could do with the money.
Has anyone had experience of leaving such a job?

If you turn up to work your notice and they prefer you not to be there they’ll need to pay you in lieu.

That would be best tbh hadn't thought of that! I've still got access to presumably all the systems as have work laptop, although haven't tried anything other than rota/communication stuff.
I suppose I'm more worried they'll make me work, I'll hate it and end up leaving before the end of the week.

Working it gives you closure; allows you to move on more professionally.
You are less wondering when an employer might do it to you.

Quit one of those ruthless sales job during pandemic and last August day after bank holiday on the spot what seemingly looked like a really well paid role with nothing to go to - on the spot feelings about longevity, that feeling you cannot shake it isn’t meant to be and asking to be released immediately so you can avoid co workers.

Then this week, a probation review in my current job pops up, I was thinking the worst but a little voice in me says the current organisation is going to let me go with a months notice (I think not after battling myself) anyway the performance statistics seemed better then I thought.

Well I was there at the start of the shift and started as normal, not had a word from anyone yet, the rota disappeared for next week about an hour ago but apart from that nothing!
It's one of the reasons I'm leaving, noone has spoken to me today yet 😬 will see how the day goes, (on break currently, not slacking) but I'm honestly not going to push myself this week!
