I HATE my second job and gave a months notice. Now I just hate the job even more! I don't need nor do I want the job anymore and because my other job is more important this second job is just became a pain in my rear. Did you ever just not show up. I has been two weeks now and I am just DONE with this crappy job.

... but you have to stick it out because it's not worth your integrity to leave. Really - - better to hate your job than hate yourself!

You know the saying honesty is the best policy? It's because it is. It is respectable to be honest. Even if the person you are being honest with doesn't respect you for it you can respect yourself because you were right. The only way I would walk off the job is if I was subject to abuse by being there. It's one thing to be treated unfairly it's another to be made to take abuse. If you are not being abused then I would go to the boss and tell him how you feel and what you want to do. A month notice is a little unreasonable length of time. An employer usually only requires two weeks. It isn't tough to fill positions. Whether you decide to stay two more weeks or go now I would be straight with the boss whether he deserves it or not and tell him what the plan is. You owe it to yourself to be able to walk away with your head high and the feeling of a job well done. You'll give yourself that and much more if you are honest.

Yes I have walked out of 1 job with an eyecare specialist. I had to drive 45 min. to get there and the doctor would be waiting for me outside to show up. I was never late but never early either. It was a boring job. But I wish I had given notice. Even if you do not put a previous employer down as a reference, most companies will do a background check and know that you worked there and can call them and it might hurt your chances of getting a better job.
On the other hand, you could go to your manager and ask if you can leave any earlier than planned.

You should have only given two weeks notice. That is all that is required. That said, if you just leave now, it is going to reflect very poorly on you in the future. In any case, I did just quit a job once... but I had only worked at it one day. I would never do that now. My professional career is more important to me than two weeks at a cruddy job. These things have a habit of coming back to bite you in the end.

Unless you are a brain surgeon or in some position that you can not easily be replaced a month is really long. Some employers will fire you as soon as you give notice. I will admit I left a job at lunch one time and never came back. It was a call center job.

No, very irresponsible of you to leave that boss and the other employees in such a position...Doing this only upholds the idea of how the next generation has little respect for dedication, responsibility, and the I'll do whatever I want to do mentality....Prove this wrong...You could use/need this job as a reference in the future, leave under good terms...ever hear the expression, don't burn your bridges? Suck it up and next time only give 2 weeks notice.....

Yep- I was working 3 jobs (1 F/T and 2 P/T). I hated my 2 P/T's so after I got married- I bailed.
