My employer right now is a itch to the b and reduced me to 16 hours a week (from 36 hours). I work for a doctors office and since we went electronic there isn't a lot of work for me to do.....I have three interviews next week and if I get one I dont see why I should give two weeks when I'm only there to make phone calls in the morning......I know it's standard to give two weeks, but I can't afford to keep getting such small checks.

I understand your feelings but think about the other employers view of that. Giving notice is always the proper thing to do. As an employer I would be more inclined to hire someone that has the integrity to give notice rather than one who would just bail on their current employer!

You should always give 2 weeks notice when leaving a job, no matter how much you dislike it or your boss. Sometimes bosses will let you go ahead a leave. Your next employer will appreciate it if you say I need to give a 2 week notice. They will not think they are hiring someone who will just walk out if they dislike the next job. Never burn your bridges behind you, you may need a reference or job in the future. Do the right thing, give 2 weeks. Good luck.

I think you should at least give 1 weeks notice, just to be professional. You never know if you will need to use your boss a reference, so to be on the safe side give a week. I know exactly how you feel though, it is tough to work at a place where you make no money but have to stick it out!

No, you do not have to give two weeks' notice. Since your hours have been cut, let the employer know you will be looking for another job. If he lets you go, you can collect unemployment compensation, which is probably more than you are earning now.

It's customary, but just be honest with them and say you'll give 2 week notice, but you'd rather just leave right away or whatever, at least if you ask they'll have no hard feelings against you. And, since you say you don't have much work to do anyway, they'll probably say that's fine to leave earlier than the 2 weeks.

You should give 2 weeks notice; its common courtesy and you may want a reference from that employer some day.
THey also may agree that you can leave before 2 weeks if they are cutting down your hours. But give the notice because it is the considerate and expected thing to do.

Yes give 2 weeks. You then can use this job as a reference on your applications. You never know, you may have to come back in the future.

If they give 2 week notice (or 2 weeks severance pay) when they fire someone then you should give the same notice. If not, just clear out your desk and tell them that this will be your last day.
