I hate really long explanations, so here are just the bare bone details:
-My current job hasn't been treating myself or the other employees well at all
-I have a job offer making slightly more money
-The person I would be replacing is quitting next week and they need someone immediately
Do I just give a few days notice? (how rude)
or
Do I just take the other job?

Well, it's professional to give a 2 week notice. You may need to talk to your new employer and let them know that you're excited to start, but you want to give your current employer enough notice so that they can interview and train your replacement. I would think your new employer would understand and respect you for it! Good luck!

Most good companies, when offering you a position, allow you a reasonable time to give notice to your old employer, because they would hope for the same courtesy from employees leaving them. Two weeks is reasonable. If they insist you start immediately and you want the job, take it and quit the other one, but that should give you a little negative insight into the ethics of your new company. If you have to leave your present job suddenly, just explain that your new job needs you more than they do, and if it weren't that way, you wouldn't be leaving.

There is no perfect job in a perfect world. Job descriptions may change, this is your way of being flexible but the employer needs to be flexible as well. If you have tried to talk to the managers and they ignore you as you say, then I would put your resignation letter together and submit and tell them that you cannot work in this environment. Tell them what your feelings are as you described above and note you don't want to quit but you have a financial situation as they do and your needs need to be met. You will know if you made the right decision. I feel bad for you and wish you luck. Take care,

Technically, you don't HAVE to give notice at all, it's just polite and courteous. I'd jump on the other job as soon as possible. Just let your current job know you have better opportunities waiting for you and that you'll be leaving within a week. Make sure it's a written notice and verbal. Hand them the written notice the same time you tell them. And don't worry, they can't tell you no!

If you're not worried about how the current job's reference will be in future job huts, just go. If you want to the really right thing and care about your resume, give the notice. A really good employer will be pleased their employee gave notice to their past employer.

I wouldn't give a jackass employer any notice. When I punched out for the day, I'd hand them my time card & any company property and say I quit. They obviously don't care about you so why should you care about them?

Give a few days notice. Explain that you, unfortunately, cannot stay longer.
