What advice do y'all have for him?
Tell his current employer that he has been offered a job that he can't turn down, but they want him to start in 2 days, so unfortunately he's unable to give a full two weeks' notice.

Buddy of mine has been offered a job and can only give his current employer 2 days notice
He was offered a job today that he didn't know about and has to start in 2 days or he can't get it?
That sounds like you're not telling us something

dude might not only be burning a bridge but possibly walking into a sketchy new job if they can't understand the protocol

He should thank the new company for informing him it is OK to frick them over when somebody else offers a few dollars more.

I'm not really buying it either, just giving advice on the assumption it's true.
Could be a test from the new employer to see if he'd do it to his old one. I am assuming the guy requested the ability to offer his current company two weeks.

Tell the new employer that they would not appreciate being left in a bind like that if he were to move on in a few years and he wouldn't do that to them, therefore he's requesting a few more days to leave his old employer in a good position.

Rules were made to be broken and brushes were made to be burned.
YOKO!!
YOKO!!

Perfect
OP's friend should tell the new employer he needs two weeks to resign.

That's stupid advice.
It depends on the job, the industry, relationship with boss, New job opportunity, etc...

Or he was too scared or too stupid to tell the old one and now it's too late.

That's on him to figure out. If he wants this new job bad enough to forgo a normal notice, then his best play is to be be up front about it.

A clean break is best for both parties in some situations. I work in a field where you would be escorted out by security upon giving notice. They would rather pay you two weeks to stay home than give you continued access to secure servers and proprietary information. Family is family. Outliers are outliers.

There a few factors I would consider. Has he been at his current job long? Is it in the same field? If he's built his career there than it would be a very bad idea to burn that reference and connections. Basically he needs to consider his reputation and are the consequences if any of giving a short notice worth it.

By the way, what type of jobs are we talking about?
There's leaving a company in a bind because there are essential skills/tasks that have to be transferred in the interim and then there's leaving a company in a bind because now they don't have a closer at 31-Flavors for Friday and Saturday.

Y'all don't need to ask the OP questions. 6 posts in 2 years. Classic post and run poster.
Hate that shite.

Just do it. It's not optimal, but I wouldn't let a common courtesy ruin an opportunity, assuming it's a better job or something he really wants.
Even the best companies out there fire people with no notice on a Friday afternoon. Never put an employer above yourself in the grand scheme. And this is coming from someone with a fantastic employer, and someone who has gotten screwed by a short notice resignation.
Yuuuuuuuup

true, my current employer called me up, after almost a three month interview process and asked if I could come in earlier(as in asap,) than the date that they asked me to start, I went to my employer and explained the situation and they understood, they aren't around anymore and I've been with this outfit for over 30 years

I work in HR for a large company. I can say this with confidence, zero chance he exits on good terms.
The positive. Most companies,when employment verifying a non manager wouldn't not hire someone over a no notice, UNLESS it was evident as a reoccurring thing. However, the higher the position in the company the more it would matter. upper management is a different game with my company. You better have no red flags.
I'm assuming your friend is pretty low on the chain. No decent company would refuse a notice period for anyone especially managers. My guess would be your friend wants a few weeks off before starting a new job and is using that as an excuse. See it all the time both ways(people coming and going)
