What is the etiquette in leaving a job after this first week?
acron_23 asked:
I just started a job and it’s really not what I expected. I am already in the process of looking for something else, but am just wondering what is the normal etiquette here. Do you still need to give a 2 week notice even if you’ve been there for less than 2 weeks?

Yes! Definitely give 2 weeks notice. At my first ever job I failed to give 2 weeks notice and it was hell trying to find a job again. It really hurts you if you don’t give 2 weeks notice.

Well, it would help to know what kind of job you have. If it’s fast food, etc. - just quit - I only say this because you’ve only worked there for 1 week. If it’s a more professional position, give 2 weeks notice. Not knowing what kind of job you have, then I’d have to say give 2 weeks notice. It’s just more professional. You’re doing well to hang in there for the first week anyway. Where I work, people have quit after a few hours!
