I am totally fed up :(
I got offered a job that I applied for about a month or so ago, so handed in my notice last Friday. I work in retail and have worked for the same company for ten years.
In the time since I had my interview for the new job, the com poo any has announced that they will be making staff cuts and restructuring the business. I had to sit in on a consultation with another manager, where it was made clear (to me, anyway) that my job would no longer exist and that under the new restructuring, I wouldn't fit in with the business. Fine.
So jump to now. I handed in my notice which is 4 weeks, or so I thought because that's what it said in my handbook. My manager rang me yesterday, really apologetic because HR are saying that I must work TEN WEEKS notice! Ten?! I work 8 hours a week btw, so it's not like I'm integral to the business any more... Apparently, this was all stipulated in the revised handbook, which I have never seen.
I think that they are being extremely unreasonable here. They will more than likely make me redundant in November if I stayed with them anyway so why are they making it so difficult for me to go?! AIBU?
