Is it ok to quit a teaching job for another offer?

Question

I got an offer from university A and have already started to teach for a few days then the offer from college B comes up which located the city my family lives. I really want to accept the offer from college B. I did't signed any contract but only the offer letter of university A. Is that legel that I change mind after started work for one week? Will I be sued? What should I do now?

Answer 1

Usually, if there's no contract, you're fine.  Did you agree by email to a certain work term?  Write any letters promising to stay a certain length of time?  No?  Then go and quit and take the other job.  I'm a bit surprised they got you to work without signing anything, but if they did, then that's their sloppy work, and you're free to go.  

If you belong to a regional professional organization, they may have requirements for work terms and such, depending on the organization (for example, many apprenticeship/residency/articling terms are set at a certain work term and can't be given up for another offer, even if there's no formal contract signed.  

Answer 2

As long as you haven't signed a contract you shouldn't be entitled to take the first job offer.
