Definitely. Any kind of workplace harassment, bullying, illegal/unethical behavior. I've never encountered anything that's been so bad I walked out on the spot, but I'm not naive enough to think those things don't or can't happen.

Indeed. In your opinion, would unfair treatment fit into the same reasoning? Not necessarily illegal, but unfair
Yes, but exercise this with caution. If I’ve had a bad experience and already have my next job ready, I would potentially not give much notice. The biggest reason why I’d do it is if I don’t want to suffer through a 2 weeks notice and can just continue on as if everything was normal.
That is true too. Everything could have been fine up until that point, and all of a sudden, they want to make your life miserable for 2 weeks!
I left my first job because they were 100% taking advantage of me.
They led me on for months by saying they’d certify me to be a manager, but they were completely ok with having me do manager duties as a regular crew member that entire time.
If you can afford it, leave.
And that’s understandable, especially these days.
I only got lucky back then because it was in the middle of lockdown, and I went from crappy fast food job to working in the local hospital kitchen. I was desperate for a job after leaving, and they were desperate for staff at the time. Frankly, I wouldn’t be working my current job position if it wasn’t for all of this happening.
I was hired in under the confirmation from manager during her interview, that I would be taking over her job. She was leaving for another position just didn’t have a start date yet. She trained me to take over. When she departed, she assured me DM would come to me first to offer the job.
None of this came to fruition. I’m extremely frustrated as I worked tirelessly to fill her shoes only to have someone else waltz in and take over. I’m not angry at my new boss she’s super nice. I’ve thought of telling DM about all of this but I don’t think she cares. I’ve been offered another position making double and doing less. I’m hesitant to give two full weeks notice. Any suggestions

Yes. If the environment is toxic, unsafe, retaliatory, or seriously damaging your mental health, I think leaving without notice can be justified. Two weeks is professional courtesy, not some moral rule that has to be followed no matter what.
I was unfairly redundant while I was on the 6th day of 11 days of holiday . It happened via Whatsapp text from a co-worker who is not related to staff hiring . Not from the manager or the boss himself. Not while speaking face to face. Not with 2 weeks notice or written/verbal explanations about why. Without any compensation. I went to a place in person on my official return day after a holiday. The manager was really surprised to see me there. I said I need a boss to speak. He tried to lie that he is not in. I smiled and showed him a boss car in the parking area. After I said that I will wait for him in a cafe at our building. The boss came to me and said that " they were thinking I'm not gonna come back. " I honestly worked there for 10 years until my company decided to sell a building to a private company and to leave their whole branch staff behind. it was kept as a secret until the very last minute so I couldn't prepare for it. My heart is cold now. Why should I be loyal and honest to someone who just uses my skills as I am just a tool for their personal success? I see now where my loyalty and responsibilities give me. A hard lesson is learned.
