Giving notice and semi-sticky situation
Usually just a lurker here, but could use some advice. I just received a job offer that I am super excited about. The job starts in 3 weeks. My current position is 100% work from home and is considered a temporary/seasonal position (no benefits, etc.). I want to give proper notice but am kind of weary that they will just have me finish the day I let them know I'm leaving, since no one really has to fill my position. I was just planning on giving a week notice, but then I got informed that I will be starting training for a different project on Monday. I don't know if I should let my boss know now so they don't waste their time training me or just do the training and stick with my original plan of giving one week notice. On another note, the new project I got put on is something my boss has told me she would never recommend me for, because it is something she would never want to do. Plus when she informed us of who would be going to the project, she put "Lucky Winners" in the subject of the email. So I am struggling with my decisions for many reasons. I really don't want to lose out on the pay for the next two weeks. TIA for any advice.
Re: Giving notice and semi-sticky situation
If you dont' want to burn bridges, then give notice and take your chances. I dont' know what the training entails, but if they have to pay for you to attend and you go and they see that you very clearly knew you'd be leaving - you may burn a bridge.
As for being assigned to this project - your boss may have been saddled with it from her higher ups and unfortuntately has to pass that down. It sucks, but it's business and she has to do her job.

Always give proper notice. It is a small world and you never know if/when you will come across them again. What if you do need them for something?
You might be able to collect unemployment for those two weeks if they fire you. My state has job-attached UE so you do not have to job search while collecting since you are immediately available to work, but cannot for two weeks and have a job lined up.
If you have been at this job for only a few months, don't need the reference, have other work experiece, etc. I might take the risk and give less than two weeks of notice. But I don't like to burn bridges, no matter how short or small they may be. You really just never know when you will come into contact with these people again or who will know your next empoyer three jobs down the line from now.
If they fire you, look into unemployment.
