I try to treat employers with the courtesy I would like to be treated with. I also realize that employers may not alway return the favor. Just because someone is a jerk to you does not mean that you must be a jerk. In short, act like a professional even when your employer/client acts unprofessionally. Here is a solution to the situation where your newly ex'd employer wants to march you out the door: Arrange with your new employer to start as early as you can when you accept the job offer. Most employers I've interviewed with would like you to start as soon as possible. When they ask "When can you start?" tell them that you can start no later than 2 weeks but depending on when you can wrap up stuff with your old employer, you can start earlier.
