I've given literally 5 hours notice before. Finished out the day & that was it. Started the new job the next day. There's no legal requirement to provide any notice. It's just custom.
That part time position is not even worth putting on your resume so just don't show up and don't pick up the phone when they call.
Why wait til Monday? Tell them now.
I will probably do this. I was not sure what the proper etiquette is. I am fresh out of College and all I was ever taught to do was give 2 weeks. I honestly thought it was required.
There's no right answer here. You are not obligated to provide any notice, the two weeks is a professional courtesy that you provide to demonstrate professionalism and hopefully stay on good terms with your soon to be former managers and coworkers. i.e. someday you might come back looking for another job, and you want them to remember that you were professional in your job and in your exit.
That said, it sounds like a shitty job and I would not jeopordize my chance at the new job just to follow custom. I would tell the new place that you would like to provide 2 weeks notice to your existing employer, but if they need you sooner than that, you will work it out.
If they do want you sooner than the two weeks, go to your existing manager and explain the situation. If they're reasonable, they won't hold it against you.
Why blemish your own reputation like that? If I had a co-worker that did that, I would never recommend them for a job, and if I ever became a manager I would not hire them. The world is smaller than you think, especially in a specific industry and region.
So, I am currently employed but have been going on interviews. For some reason, the company I am at hires some people part time for a few months before bringing them on-board. Honestly, I think its BS, but I work in IT and do some pretty important things here. On top of that, I am locked into working less than 26 hours a week which is less hours than I was allowed to work in College.
I have been speaking with another company and an offer was made. The pay is more than I am getting right now, 40+ hours a week, bennies, and they will help pay for certs (Cisco Gold Partner). They want to know if I could start right away. I am thinking about coming to work on Monday and telling them that Friday will be my last day.
I have only been here maybe 3.5 weeks. I figured telling them I was leaving on Friday would be okay since I barely work and I am only part time.
I mostly need to leave here ASAP because I would like to start my benefits paperwork at the new job so I can start insurance and everything on the 1st of the month.
What are your thoughts on this? I probably won't get a good reference from this place, but thats fine with me. I have tons of other references. What do I have to lose?
Probably why you will never be a manager. You subscribe to the "it will go on your permanent record!" fallacy. In reality there is no permanent record. No one in their right mind would list a part time gig they did for 3 weeks on their resume.
Id just quit showing up tbh. A phone call at the most if I wasn't busy watching tv or something more important.
I don't think it has to be anything negative. I'm sure if the OP just went in and told their boss that they found a full time gig, the boss would understand completely.
We just had a temp guy leave because his full time landscaping job started back up. No hard feelings at all. We even threw him a going away party.
Another corporate kiss ass. Sorry when I leave it's because the job sucked ass and I didn't like working for you. They aren't your friends.

I'm through giving notice. Period. I don't care how nice they were or anything. When it best suits me I'll leave and that will be it. It will likely be on a Friday as well so I can have the weekend off and start new job on a Monday. I'm sick of how we have to give notice yet those mf'ers can fire you on a moment's notice and that doesn't reflect badly on them.
Notice was for when companies had loyalty towards employees. Your current company appears to be run by dick bags. Fuck em.
She's a she.Whip your dick out on your manager's desk and start doing the Gangnam Style dance. They'll get the idea.
Did you do that with the company that called you back, your current employer?Another corporate kiss ass. Sorry when I leave it's because the job sucked ass and I didn't like working for you. They aren't your friends.
