I posted in Work, but I dont think I'm going to get replies.

I'm not happy and my eyes are opening to a job that I started last week.

I told myself that I would fell better in actual of weeks, but I don't want them to make plans for me and then for me to leave.

I havent signed the contract yet but it says that I would have to give 2 weeks notice.

No but I should have done. I knew within a week it wasn't the place for me and I should have walked right then. I ended up staying for more than a year and I'm still psychologically scarred by it.

Not two weeks, but two months yes. I made up my mind in first week to go but wasn’t in a position to actually be without work and it took me the next 7 weeks to apply and go through interviews etc for new role. No regrets. It was going to be my dream job and then it just wasn’t. Awful vibes in the office. New employer did want to talk about it briefly at interview but accepted my explanation that it was a bad fit and I wasn’t willing to waste my time on something that wasn’t right.

I left but agreed to finish the week. I hope I get paid still. I suppose them agreeing for me to just finish the week is an acceptance
