what happens if you do not work your notice?

It all depends on whether the employer wants to sue you for quantifiable losses, sack you (they can actually do so because you can't leave without giving notice - you will be absent without leave and can therefore still be sacked during your notice period), give you lousy references...
How would you take it if they told you to leave without notice?0 -
As above...
However, most employers are sensible enough to know that forcing somebody to work against their will can be counterproductive. It is far, far better to try and reach a compromise with the employer.
They may well be quite happy to let you go with reduced or no notice if you ask.
It is rare for an employer to sue but it sometimes happens. They would have to take reasonable steps to minimise any losses and they would of course save your wages but they could, in theory, make a claim for any balance.0
