Two weeks ago, I just got hired at Company A, but yesterday Company B offered me a job as well (with better benefits and pay). However I haven't made my decision yet with Job B. Will Company A understand about this because I feel bad thinking about quitting a job I literally just started two weeks ago and I'm not sure what to do. I'm in a awkward position right now. I hope A will understand
It is up to you. It is a business transaction. Company A offered so you accepted the transaction. Now Company B has a transaction offered. Company B is more attractive.
It's your life, you need to do what is best for you. Unless there is some other reason you would prefer working at company A, I would take the best offer. I do understand why you might feel bad but they will replace you.
I did that once, verbally accepting Company A's offer. Company B's offer, day or two later, was superior for my long-range plans.
I stiffed Company A. They, uhm, didn't like that. The practice VP never forgot who I was, I bet that's worked against me in the interim one way or another. It can be a small world, payback's a (you know what). Made a lot of money with Company B, but over the long run not sure if it was worth it.
OP should think about short-term gain vs. long term pain. If it doesn't matter, leave. If it does, don't. End of story, it's just business.

No.
My last job, we had a guy start, work a week, go on vacation (pre-planned), and when he came back gave notice. Kind of a bother for everyone. Bridges were burned.
Go with company B. If this burns a bridge at company A... then it shows that they're petty enough that you don't really want to be working with them anyway.
