Sometimes my advice is good advice, and sometimes it's just an opinion. Sometimes people don't take good advice (ironically.) If everybody would just talk to each other, we'd have world peace, so you probably won't see "just talk to them" in my column.
I worked as a Registered Nurse for a few years so I know a little about health.
I think and read about spiritual things. I answer spiritual questions without trying to convert anyone to my own beliefs. I'm a non-denominational Christian, but I believe everyone has a path to follow, and God is patient, so I answer spiritual questions from where you are.

My brother has a job but wanted a better job.
He went on an interview and told them that if he gets the job, "he" wanted to tell his boss he's leaving and give 2 weeks notice. He found out he got the job when his boss said he got a call asking for references because he starts in 2 weeks! The boss is angry and dosen't want to give him anymore work.
What should my brother do? Should he start to work at the new place sooner and let them know why? (link)

Giving two weeks notice is standard practice. There are employers that will tell you to leave and notice is not required when you let them know you are leaving for another job.
I hope I understand this right. Your brother has been contacted by the new employer and told he is hired. His present employer got a call asking for references before your brother had a chance to give notice. Then your brother gave notice, and his present employer told him notice was not necessary. He is no longer employed there.
In that case your brother can contact his new employer and tell them he is available sooner or he can start on the date they agreed on two weeks away - it is up to him.

The new employer kept expressing interest and mentioned the references were pending. They could not offer him the job until they got references. My brother could "not" give notice in time because of this reason, so when his boss got the call asking for references, the boss found out then that they were hiring my brother.
