The workforce can be a small world. You are burning more bridges than just your current employer if you up and quit like that. Anyone you currently work with would shoot down your chances at any future company you might be interested in where they might work. Do the right thing and give a notice. It's just two weeks. They'll probably tell you to take a hike anyways since it's only been a month.

The responses in this thread, particularly the ones saying fuck the employer because they wouldnt give notice for a layoff, prove that this board has more than it's share of unprofessional, unmotivated, juevenille losers. Not offering 2 weeks notice shows a poor work ethic, period. Behavior like that in the workplace WILL catch up with you unless you plan on moving to a different city at some point. Didnt your parents teach you better?

I've always given 2 week notice, except for my last job. I had already scheduled a vacation for a week, and the week after my vacation is when the new job was to begin. We agreed to a 1-week notice and that was it.
I'm still on good terms with them and I have no doubt if it ever came down to needing a job I could go back to that company.
I say talk to your boss and see how he feels before making a decision. I've ran into so many people at new jobs that I previously worked with that I always make sure I leave on good terms.
