Of course you should quit a terrible job, but leaving with such little notice is screwing them over because they will either have to cancel their vacation or find your replacement in a week. That's very unprofessional and pretty mean. However, if you don't need the reference and the job is unbearable, do what you need to do and deal with the consequences.
