I do not want to give this employer a two weeks notice simply because of the way in which i was treated and spoken to. I have a new job lined up that starts in a month, however i want to get paid for working the next three weeks and get paid out for my PTO. I have a feeling that they may just say don't worry about working out your two weeks. I will be able to get a great reference letter from one of my supervisors so i am not worried about that.
My question is how will it look on my part if i just give them one weeks notice?

oops i forgot to add that i am in the process of applying for a home loan with a closing at the end of the month. So i am thinking that if the fire me on the spot and do not allow for me to finish my two weeks out that this will screw me.

If you already have the job, how you leave your present job means little. One weeks notice may be fine, but remember how you are treating your employer also reflects on the people with whom you worked. Leaving the company less time to find -and train- your replacement may put undo stress on the other workers.
That aside, one week is plenty. They may gripe and Yes, they may let you go early, but reglardless, there is no Law or Rule which says you MUST give 2 weeks notice. (Though to be sure, check with your HR Office and any papers you may have signed when you started this job.)

It is just a good practice to give a 2 week notice. One week is also okay if their is someone else able to take over your responiblities.
Remember, don't burn any bridges. You may very well need something some day down the road.
They have to pay you any PTO time you have left. Give a 2 week and if they say thanks but no thanks, then take your stuff and go home. Wait on the final check and get ready for your new job.
In that case you did what you were suppose to do!

Talk to your new employer and tell them the situation. Ask if it would be possible to start early if you are fired on the spot.
I was in the same situation a few years ago and did the honorable thing by giving my two weeks notice. My new employer was understanding and agreed to start me early if I was fired from my old job. I also learned later on that the job offer would have been withdrawn if I didn't insist on giving my notice. To my surprise the company I was leaving not only didn't fire me on the spot but offered a pay raise and other incentives to keep me on.

Give them the two weeks notice. If they do let you go before that time you might be able to claim unemployment for the weeks you did not work. They probably will not want to pay the unemployment so they might keep you there. Do not burn your bridges. Just because they acted rude towards you does not mean you should return the favor. Be better than them and do things the proper way you will show them how classy you are and that they are losing a valuable employee. GOD BLESS

I don't know what field you are in, but great advice is to never burn your bridges, you may have to cross them again. You probably will never work for that company again, but there are a million ways your paths may cross over again. Maybe you are staying in a similar field and the two companies may do business together. Maybe somebody from your old company comes to work at your new company (even worse if they become your superior). Maybe even your company merges together. As much as it may give you satisfaction to stick it to them, it could bite you in the rear later on. Just let it go and try to leave on a positive note.

I agree with lilpuppy...........
You need to give your two weeks notice if for no other reason than your new employer will see it as the right thing to do. He/She would expect you to do the same should you leave their business in the future.
If they see you are not giving a two weeks notice they may consider that you would do the same to them. No employer wants to be surprised that way and if they see you did it once, they have every right to believe you would do the same to them.

It will reflect poorly on you to your new employer if they find out you didn't give your 2 weeks notice.
They will doubt your personal integrity, and will likely think you may do the same to them in the future.
For you own sake, regardless of what happened at your old job, you are required to act professionally. Good luck.

Give your 2 weeks notice. If they let you go, they should give you severance pay.
Don't burn your bridges on the way up, you may have to cross that bridge on your way down.

It could come back to bite you. Future employers could ask the company (not your supervisor) for a reference, and they might get very petty about it.
Give the notice. Don't burn bridges.
