Quit your job without giving notice if you don't believe that you will be allowed to continue working through your notice period (and you need the money). It is preferable to give your manager two weeks notice when it is possible. However, if you know from past experience with a particular manager or organization or your gut knows that your manager will not honor your two-week notice, then forget it! Just pack up your stuff and go. You can tell your manager you're leaving on your way out the door.

If you've found a better job and they need you to start right away, and your current manager has given you no reason to offer them the gift of two more weeks of your time, then forget the notice period and bolt.

Quit without giving notice if there is nothing for you to train anyone else on, your time in the job has been miserable and you aren't planning to include the job on your resume.

Don't worry about giving notice if the company is laying people off and looking to save payroll dollars.

Forget the two-week notice if you and your manager at having a major conflict and/or your boss has started a "paper trail" in order to eventually fire you. They want you out anyway, so the two-week notice is pointless. They are hoping you find another job and move on.

You can leave without giving notice if your manager or someone else in authority does or says something horrible to you, and sadly it happens. You do not have to stick around to put up with two more weeks of abuse. You can say "I will be leaving now" and dip!

Get up and go without giving notice if you are going to work for a competitor -- and your employer sees a move to a competitor as an unforgivable sin.

Quit your job without a notice period if you've only had the job for a month or two and there really isn't anything for you to do for two more weeks.
Leave your job the minute you find a better job if your managers require or expect you to do anything illegal, unsafe or ethically wrong. Our young friend Monica ran into a situation like this. She was hired into a boiler-room sales operation and given a script to read to customers. The script was full of lies. Monica hated the job but she needed an income. The minute she found something better, she fled. No two-week notice for slime bags!

Above all, quit without notice and get out of any job that makes you feel unsafe. Just get out. Don't assume that because you work for a well-known company or because your friend got you the job, somehow that will protect you. Get out of any unsafe work situation right away. Trust your gut!

One girl I knew waited until the Holidays, then quit and took 6 weeks off, then went back to work elsewhere after New Years.

Typical mindset article for this day and age. In my industry, a ton of work is developed through networking and relationships. Hell, I've gone to meetings with different clients and acquaintances, and we all know each other, just basically swapping shirts of the companies' we're working for.

Only reason I'd ever quit without notice would be if they wanted me to do something illegal or physically unsafe.

Not keen on burning bridges unnecessarily. You never know when you'll cross paths with an employer or colleague again, even if its not in a work environment. Always leave on good terms if you can possibly help it.

Walked off the job crew
Come in late crew
Got fired for six no-shows crew
One application - one job crew
Awful employee bit still get hired crew
Bomb the interview and still get hired crew

Feels good being in a in demand field

Never quit a job without notice.

In college I loaded trucks for 4 months on the weekends before Christmas.....was hired through a temp service...I gave a 2 week notice there. They offered me a supervisor position on the spot if I "didn't want to go back to school". I was flattered but declined.

If you're the type of person to just quit without notice, you should never expect to have a job or career at any level higher than entry.

While I was quitting my last job, the head manager (whom I had not had many interactions with while working there) told me that he worked his way up to management in his previous company in the exact same way. He put in his two weeks while in college, they offered him a management position, which he accepted then dropped out of school. Then, he hopped over to the current company.

Only disadvantage with this method is that you don't have a degree to show for it. I know that degrees aren't everything, but eventually you'll get to a point where it may be required as a prerequisite for a position you want.

Literally planning to quit without notice next week, I've been messing up a bunch of stuff at my new job and I've only been there 2 months, plus I hate it

Who cares? I already have another job

if I walked off the job in my industry i'd never find a job again, industry is small and everyone knows everyone
and this is an industry that is absolutely hurting for more workers

I agree that in the vast majority if cases, you should do the honorable thing and give notice, but there are rare times when you need to look out for yourself.

The only time I bailed on a TV Station where I worked, was when I had 4 things to work on, and while I was working on the first project, this 'tard I worked with did another behind my back, then told the manager I didn't do my job, so he had to do it for me, and the manager was dumb enough to believe that and wrote me up for it.

I had 6 hours left in my shift, plenty of time to get everything done.

I called his desk at 3 in the morning, since I couldn't sleep, and left him a voicemail that told him to get bent. I had only worked there a few weeks anyway.

Looking back (now at 35 with a Finance Degree) it may not have been a horrible decision if I accepted it. lol. It was a Walmart Distribution Center. I was the only person (in those 4 months) of the group of 45 that I started with that showed up every shift, didnt just no-show quit and I was #4 in "production" for the whole center. When I put in my notice, my supervisor walked me over to his supervisors office (who I had only met once) and he's who offered me the job.
