Always read anything you sign. Unless you're a salaried, exempt employee, or protected by a union, most places will have you under an "at-will" employment contract. "At-will" means you can be terminated any time, and you can quit any time--though most places, if you don't give them two weeks notice, will put you on their no-hire list should you give less than 2 weeks of notice.

Go with what works best for you, employer-wise. Don't be afraid to switch jobs even if you are a new employee. In this day and age very few of us work for employers who care for us. Ng is right--you are expendable. They wouldn't think twice about downsizing you if they had to--so you've got to look out for No. 1.
