I've only been here about a month, and I'm pretty certain I won't be taking any references with me, but I'm curious if future potential employers have a way of checking my prior work history when I go to apply.
I'm planning on calling out for a few days, but not if it's gonna hurt me in the future. Thanks for any info.

be a man and finish the two weeks, the whole two weeks. youll feel better about yourself, its the adult business way to handle things. it speaks volumes about your character. a new potential boss is always happy to hear you dont walk out on a job you dont like, even if its a shitty no pay job you just started. at some point in life, you have to decide what your character is worth, if it worth selling yourself out for relief from a job you dont like a few days sooner, than your character has a pretty low price.(i wont fuck anyone over for a penny less than a million bucks, and as i make more money, im sure that price will go up. when i get to where i wont fuck anyone over for anything, i might run for office)
when i moved from pensacola to savannah, i simply transferred from one pizza hut to one in savannah. after a month of being their top driver, i realized Papa Johns was doing 4 times the business, so i went to them to see about getting a job. the store manager, Heath Hardee, an awesome guy that soon became a good friend, had heard about me, and wanted me to start that night. he assured me i would make about 3 times the money i was making at the other store. i told him no and finished out my two weeks makin less money. i got alot of respect for that, and even the regional guy that ran all the PJs in two states started personally calling on me in a pinch because he knew no matter what, i wouldnt leave him twisting in the wind. i won the 500 bucks for my ipod playing cards one night at his house (thanks richard, and your daughter is hot), and got turned on to KATG because of it.
moral of the story, do the right thing, the responsible thing, and it will pay in the long run. you give 2 weeks when you quit, you work the two weeks. if they want to cut you sooner, they will.
