How soon should I give my job notice I am leaving?

Asked by chelle21689 (7907points) February 3rd, 2016 from iPhone

As some of you know, I just accepted a position at a university with great benefits and higher pay! After over a year being strung along with empty promises I found something better. My co-worker wuit last week with NO notice because he hated that we weren’t hired so I was left with the work load.

Anyways, I’m going on vacation this Friday and will be gone until Wednesday. Should I put in my notice tomorrow or should I wait until I get back? They want me to start Feb. 22, so should I give my job as much notice as I can? If I wait Wednesday it’ll only be like 1 week and 3 day notice. At the same time I feel weird announcing my resignation and leaving for vacation!

Keep in mind, I don’t have benefits here, workers are leaving one by one because of work environment, and if they let me go immediately I would be financially ok because I live with my parents still (hopefully move out soon). What should I do?
