I am starting a new job on 16th of this mo. Did drug and biometric testing last Friday and was told the new employer will inform me about tests results once they get it. Today, for sure I need to give my current employer a notice, but I am so hesitant to do it. I feel anxious… what if new employer finds something in those test, although I don’t use any illegal drug. My current job is very toxic and I am leaving it after 6.5 months on the job. How to overcome it? Any advice?

Do not give notice until you've cleared all pre-employment screening. Always look out for yourself over the company, just as the company looks out for itself over you. You're not burning a bridge by giving a short notice since you'll be burning it anyway by leaving after only 6.5 months.

Why do you have to give notice today?

like

Because I want them to have time to get someone into my position and train that person. It would be 11 days not 2 weeks notice. I know, how they deal with me leaving is not my problem, but I believe in “when they go low, you go high”.

You need to wait until your new employer gives you the all clear. If you work in a toxic environment, they will tell you to leave immediately. So, keep quiet. Also going high is nice, but paying your bills is better.

I think you should be fine. I wouldn’t give notice until all your pre employment stuff has been completed but you should still be able to start your new job with 11 days notice. That’s two weeks is still a courtesy 10 business days notice.

6.5 month work should probably be omitted from your next resume anyway. If you haven't used drugs, why worry? Give a week's notice and take a few days' vacation, the 16th isn't far away.

Blaze up a doobie for the immediate chill, then maintain patience after telling your current employer that you are moving out. It's a free country in regards to these actions.

Things worked out nicely. On Monday, I gave notice to my toxic “old” job and on Wednesday “new” job called that I passed drug and biometric tests. Also on Wednesday, I was in the office and my boss told me that I can leave today and don’t need work until 15th. So I did. As someone here mentioned they might ask me to leave immediately and that happened. Not sure what future hold for me, but last job was a job from hell..

Leaving with two weeks pay or without?
