Quitting a job without 2-week notice?

Question

So I’ve been working for this employer for nearly 3 months and it’s been the worst working experience that I’ve ever endured. 
The work environment is unorganized, chaotic, and not at all friendly for new staff such as myself. I’ve been put in situations with no training or guidance, they deducted insurance from my paycheck way earlier than scheduled, scheduling is spiteful, and we are constantly short staffed. Also, I work in a behavior setting so aggressions and disruptions are very common. 
As much as I hate it there, I’ve been flexible and consistent for the sake of my coworkers, but now it’s become unbearable. Now I have this extreme case of panic and anxiety before my shift and I literally dread going there and its brought me to tears a few times.
I had an interview for another position this week and I am confident that they are going to extend the offer to me. Should I still put my 2-weeks in if it is offered to me or should I just quit? I’m tore between what’s good for my mental health and what’s professional. I literally can’t take it anymore 🥲

Answer

If you can afford to quit and want to quit now, go for it. But don't quit if you can't afford to be jobless. If you do decide to quit, document your reasons in a professional manner and give them to hr as you are letting them know you are leaving effective immediately. You can say "it's so important to me to leave this job on good terms, but I truly don't feel like I can stay for a 2 week notice. Here is why," and give them your documentation. Quitting without a 2 week notice is not ideal, but you can still do it as professionally as possible.

Answer

Just quit if they offer you the job. 
This sounds loads like my old job. The training wasn’t being done right, the shift patterns were not as promised, the staff i worked with didn’t give a shit as long as they got paid or they were up the managers arse. After a few months I ended up on meds to handle my anxiety and on doctors orders i took double on days i had a shift. 
As soon as i got offered a new job I resigned effective immediately. My current job is easygoing, less people so less bitching and the shifts stay the same every week. My anxiety isn’t half as bad.

Answer

I would say it depends on when they are able to onboard you. Where I work between background checks, drug tests and paperwork it takes about two weeks to start once being given the offer. If you accept and can afford to not work then don’t give a notice. If you can’t afford the pay then look at it as “I have a way out. There is an end to all the BS”. Then just don’t stress yourself with the BS they give. I know it’s easier said than done but either way, it really isn’t a big deal once you have another offer accepted.

Answer

If I were you it would depend on the job. Like right now I’m at a daycare, I’d put in my 2 week notice because the kids need to be properly supervised and me suddenly disappearing would be hard on them. However fast food? I’d just dip. I have actually.  Dunkin donuts I got my shift that night covered and told them they were in their own.

Answer

I’d always put in 2 weeks notice if the new job is okay with waiting. But if they need you right away then I would give the longest notice that the new job is okay with. You don’t want to burn a bridge even if you hated it.

Answer

I would give a notice. If your new job doesn't work out and you give a 2 week notice you will have a better chance of going back IF you need a job...even though you don't want to.

Answer

Always, always put in a two week notice. Even at part time jobs. You may run into the same coworkers ten years down the road, you never know. It will look far more professional to the hiring company, as well. I’ve been in awful places, but I’ve never been any less professional. Sometimes just the knowledge that you’re leaving makes it 500x more bearable. I hope you get the better position!
