    If what the OP has posted re.: being hired as an assistant manager then being asked to fulfil a manager's duties from the get-go, I'd say that's pretty fair....

    If you haven't been given a contract two weeks after starting a new job, do you even have a new job? They could shut the shop and send the OP on their merry way tomorrow.
    You don't legally have to be given written particulars until 8 weeks after starting a new job

    Also, a contract is formed just by turning up for work

    Do the decent thing and give a weeks notice. Assuming the old company is happy to wait. The new company may not even want you to return.

    The truth is most jobs are going to do nothing about you leaving straight away but why not just give notice......
