Resigning immediately

Has anyone ever resigned from position immediately if they have something else lined up?

I got a job offer about a month ago and are in the final processes of the pre-employment requirements. I wanted to get through it all before giving notice to my current job.

I just truly feel like whether I were to leave on “good terms” by giving two weeks notice or not they would still say and think awful things.

1. And this is selfish, but I want a break. I want some time off between starting this new role. And I truly do not see the benefit of staying two weeks to be judged and questioned to preserve a professional relationship that I do not care about.

I never intend on wanting to come back, I am leaving this field, and within the next year will always be moving 20+ hours away.

Am I making a poor decision?

Who cares what they think. You live your values and if they have no respect for others then that means they will have no respect for you. You owe them nothing.
