I received a job offer today for a full time position. I'm ecstatic, but this now causes a situation. I currently have two part time jobs, and will need to resign from one as it will conflict with my new job's schedule. The only problem is, I can't give two weeks, as the job starts next Saturday June 13th. I am also scheduled to work this Saturday June 6th , but need to attend an all day training for the new job at the same time. I've asked around, but no one is able to take my shift because of vacations, or because they are already scheduled.
I'm not sure what is best to do now. I can either call off on Saturday, I've never called off before so it shouldn't be an issue, and give my resignation letter on Monday stating my last day is Friday or resign tomorrow on the spot. Either way is leaving them with a shift to fill, but the former seems to be the better option of the two. I realize also that this could lead to a negative reference in the future and I will be possibly leaving on bad terms, depending on how understanding my managers are.
Just resign. It is not an ideal situation, but your full time job is more important than your part time job. I wouldn't worry about a negative reference; leave the PT job off your next resume.

Agreed, there's no law you have to give two weeks notice. It's a courtesy, but not a requirement. I would just tell them soon as possible that you got a full time job and I'm giving you as much notice as you can. It's not ideal, but better and just not showing up for work one day and tell them you quit on the phone when they call you.
For a part time job I wouldn't worry about it. Just tell them the situation and if they get POed tough. They may blacklist you for future employment with them and give negative references (I'd check).
Thanks for the advice. I've decided to call of on Saturday and resign this coming Monday, with my last day being Friday. This at least gives them some sort of notice although it's not ideal.
