I got an excellent new job offer with a company and they asked me to start pretty much right away and I signed the offer.
At my current work, I have seen people leaving on the day they gave notice, so I thought the amount of notice is not a huge deal. Though I do feel guilty that I didn't give my currently employer two weeks notice, so I decided to voluntarily work for one day before my new job starts.
I went in on my day off to tell my boss that I am quitting, he said if I don't show up on Monday, he will send out a lawyer letter after me.
We do not have any written contract saying I have to give xx amount of of notice before I quit, but after some research on the internet, employer has the right to sue ex-employee for not giving advance notice and damage caused by employee's absence.
I worked at this place for 7.5 month now, I just want to know exactly if I could seriously get into trouble by not giving advance notice.
Thanks everyone.
