You should be professional and give a 2 weeks notice in writing. Thank him for the opportunity to work for his company but you don't think you and your new job are a good fit. He would rather you do this after just a week then months from now.

Don't be surprised if he either asks you to give it a while longer or he accepts your resume effect on the spot.

As you know, you can't be fired because you are pregnant. You can be let go if you miss work... Do not tell your supervisor until you are 4-5 months pregnant and you "have to tell" becuase they are going to guess any day. This is just not for new employees. This is standard protocal for any employee. Many doctors have appoinments starting at 7am or extending until 6/7pm. Try to find doctors that have these extended times so that you can miss as little work as possible. - if that is not possible. Try to schedule the appointments around lunch or offer to work extended hours to make up for the missed time. Since you will have been with the company less than 1 year, you will not have any job protection when you leave for the baby (if they have over 50 employees and you are there for more than 1 year, you would be eligible for FMLA protection).

Despite what others are saying. I think you should tell him in person that you think the job is not a good fit. It is better to quit in less than a month..and then just don't put in on you resume than languish for several months then quit. If you do suffer through like 4 months, you have to put it on your resume (otherwise there will be a big gap) and people will ask you why you quit. Just be sure you really hate the job and give them 2 week notice if possible.

The other option is to stay put..if you do..be sure to stay at least six months.

I would make a list of the positives and negatives of the job right now. Be sure to think of the career growth as well. If the negatives are overwhelming..then you should probably quit.

Good luck.

Do you dislike the hours? (having to get up early, commute, expected to be somewhere on time?)
Are you co-workers unwelcoming and distant?
Are the skills required for the position above your level? (which happens more than you think and shouldn't be embarrasing)
Has the training program turned you off the company and the position?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you are suffering from "New Job Syndrome". Everyone has expectations of a new job, unrealistic or otherwise. Learning to balance your expectations with reality is simply a skill we all learn at our own pace.
I do not recommend you leave the job after one week unless you are ready to recognize this could be 90% you and 10% the job. Finding another job you like could be twice as hard as landing this one.
Take a breath, do inventory of yourself and be realistic.
Good luck...

might wanna stick it out a little longer. most people "hate" jobs in the beginning. best to wade through this period. does it pay well? if it does then just hang out until you can find something better. if the pay is crap then just forget it

you would want to tell in person if you do decide to quit. he'll ask you why, and you better have a valid reason otherwise you'll look like a quitter. and there will not be a good reference for you here if you quit that early in the game.

just tough it out for a month. you'll get a couple of paychecks and then you can see how things really are around there.

As to not destroy your permanent employment history, be sure to hand your supervisor a letter 2 weeks in advanced.
Anything verbal could be used against you (like your supervisor could say you didn't tell them)
Give the letter to them whenever you feel, beginning or end of shift. Just don't walk off the job!

Don't say anything until you have a definite replacement job to go to. You never quit a job without another one to go to.
