Giving one days notice to my company?
I got a job offer today for a contract position through a staffing agency that starts on Wednesday or Monday. I'm currently working for a company that is closing in February. I was told that the position Monday may not be available if they find enough people to start Wednesday, but if I start Wednesday, I am giving my company a days notice. I don't feel right giving them that short of notice, but I don't want to lose the job. What should I do?

I usually say that you should never burn bridges, but I think you should take this new job, you said your current company is closing, so I'd take the offer while it stands. You probably won't be able to use them as a reference, but I still think it is worth it.

If you were to mess up an employer would not give you a notice. On the application in Louisiana it states that there is no contract as to the length of time you can be employed. It also states that you can quit or they can release you at any time without any notice. It may be seem that the employer is going to suffer if you just quit but they wouldn't have any issues firing you!
Quit and take the job. Just don't use them as a future reference!

Heyy! You need to decide, a very tough decision and what is more important to you. You either A) have a job and give your a job a very short notice of resignation or B) have a job temp and need to job hunt a again. There is pros and cons to the situation but I would politely, and apologetically explain your situation you are and explain you are very very sorry it is such short notice and this is typically not how you would do things but this is the ultamatium you are giving. I am sure you can think up something snappy. Good luck with your new job!!
