Answer 1

Any notice is better than no notice at all. Even though you may never go back to that job again, please have enough common courtesy to inform your employer.

Answer 2

It doesn't really matter. If I was interviewing you 2 years from now, I would not want to use a reference from a company you only worked at for 2 1/2 months.

You should give notice whenever possible, and I agree with everyone else, 1 week is better than none. If you are worried about the reference, I think you should just scratch that possibility off the table anyway given your extremely short tenure there.

Answer 3

I don't know the reason for not allowing a two week notice. Usually a new job would expect the same respect if you were to give them notice and a start date can always be negotiated. However, your circumstances may be more dire. Give your one week notice and apologize that you are unable to give more notice. You never know when someone you work for now will end up working with you again somewhere else.

Answer 4

Either way you're screwed. If you give only one week of notice, you can be fired on the spot for not complying with company policy. And if you give no notice it'll look worse to any company you apply to. I'd give the notice and hope for the best.

Answer 5

one week is better than none, but the best is always two weeks. Doesn't matter that you were only the 2 1/2 months. Don't plan on using them for a reference because it probably wouldn't be good.

Answer 6

IT is polite to give your employer notice to: find A replacement and even for you to train that person to perform your duties some what. But most times depending on what one performs / duteis YOU may be excorted out the Door'ASAP'

Answer 7

It is always best to give 2 weeks notice but since you don't have it to give, do the courteous thing and give the week's notice. It is always best to leave on good terms and good terms involves giving notice.

Answer 8

1 week is better then on the spot. You don't want to burn any bridges with your current employer. Good luck.
