Took way to long to scroll to get to the correct answer. It costs you two weeks to do the courteous thing that doesn’t burn a bridge. You never know who you might need or work with again down the line, even if it’s not back with the company/job you hate.

You said you just started this job? I assume you are still in the training phase? I would offer to stay a few days just to be polite. In reality, they probably don't want your two weeks of you're still in training. Employer wouldn't want to invest in someone leaving.

If you can afford it consider not giving notice but saying you can't start for a few days. Vaction/ppo is often and joke and it's a chance to have some personal time. It's doubtful they will mind or even notice. Just be there on time the first day you say you will be able to work.

Depends what you do.

If you're a burger flipper, no one cares.

If you work in my industry, it would set you back in the long term dramatically.

In fact the Great Resignation of 21/22 has had a lot of negative effects on certain workers. Because many quickly jumped around chasing money instead of good jobs, and now companies like mine won't touch them. So they're stuck either at shitty companies or taking pay cuts to try and reestablish their reputation.

But a server? Or if you work in retail? No one will care what you do.

When I offer people a position, I completely understand if they need to give a 2 week notice. However, if they choose not to, it's completely understandable because they must have a good reason for leaving otherwise they wouldn't interview.

The answer depends on whether you think you're going to use the employer for anything in the future. Then, is that something worth delaying your new job?

Given that you just started, the answer to both questions is probably no.

Often, when you give two weeks notice companies will set your hours scheduled to zero or fire you on the spot. YMMV

You could just give notice and then get a doctor to sign you off on stress leave for the last 2 weeks. Just tell them that the hon w as killing you and you need out, they'll give you a generic note and job literally done. Now start with your new employer, no law says you can't work two jobs.

>Does it look bad If just quit my new job for another job with out 2 weeks notice?

Look bad to who and do you care?

>But then again would interviewer suspect of me of not being trustable/good worker?

Say you can work out a mutually agreeable start date.

>And should I say I recently just starting working there this week?

No

I mean not really. I don’t mean in the sense of like I don’t give 2 fucks about you, but more in the context of live and let live. For example if someone wears something that you think is offensive (passing judgement) you are the one with the problem not them. think about what it is that is upsetting you and internalize it. Think about what it’s like in their shoes, and why they find it acceptable. Then think about what it’s ACTUALLY doing to you. it’s not physically affecting you so why bother with even spending energy fixating on it? You do you type of thing.
