2 Weeks notice for a 5 day old job?

Hello there folks,

I found a job and I've been employed for like 5-6 days and I've found something better with better pay and benefits closer my house. Can I leave immediately since ive been here only for a week or do I need a 2 week notice?

Whats the most appropriate way to leave this job on good terms.

Thanks for your advice !

    If you wish to show respect for the current company and management staff - you should give 2 weeks and completely work the 2 weeks. I believe you should never just walk off a job or not give 2 weeks for the simple fact of if the new job does not work out the way you planned... You want to a good separation from the prior job just in case you would like to do back at any time.

    Source(s): I have worked for my company close to 15 years and have seen many people leave improperly and then try to come back but are not hired again because of the prior job abandonment.

    2 weeks notice is required if you want ever want to come back and also leaving suddenly might effect ur new job. If new job doesnt require u to work their immediately, I would say u should stay and completely ur 2 weeks.

    Pls answer to my question.
