I got an offer, but it starts on Monday. What's the worst thing that can happen if I don't give the full two weeks notice?

Network Layoffs Coming. Hans Plan in motion.
Managers for Network gathered in Colorado this week. They were asked to rank their staff. That means more layoffs in our near future.
New unlimited plan is MORE expensive ??
Who the heck is running the ship. Customers already b--ch about the high price, now it's getting higher? Good luck with that.
Your next successful job!
Layoffs sting no matter what the circumstances, they just do. Remember the best way to get out of a jam is any way you can. When layoffs happen, there' s no way of knowing whether or not to take it personally. So don't. Because it isn't personal -...

Verizon - IBM - Sale of cloud and managed hosting business
Do we know if this has completed? Just curious, there was a big hoopla in the media last year about the sale, the plan was to offload the group and work together on 'strategic' stuff - the way I've read it Verizon Enterprise Solutions was throwing in...

New hires
Just heard from the second level that they hired over 100 facility techs in NJ, mostly for fios installs up north. How do you think this will affect any possible eisp for 3rd or 4th quarter of 2018? I’d like to think the company would want to get the...

Wireless retail store discrimination suit
I'm suing a retail store for discrimination. I'm a minority and the 10 anxious clerks doing nothing insisted I only qualify for prepaid cause I look credit challenged and undocumented. They insisted I get a prepaid and 35 HUMS for my homies.
How does this week look?
Is it just me, or is this one of the rare weeks for which there were no predictions of layoffs? It's funny that that actually makes me worry. if there are rumors of layoffs it's probably just wild guessing, but if there is no info...then it must mean...
