12 months ago I was transferred by TUPE to a new owner and working life has been horrendous, I have suffered from depression and anxiety since the take over due to bullying from my new boss.
I have never taken time off sick for this and instead put all of my efforts in the last 12 months in to finding a new job in order to get out of there, I have finally been offered a great position elsewhere and I now need to get out of this toxic environment.
In my contract I have a 3 month notice period, this is inherited from my previous employer before the TUPE and no one else in the new company has this length of notice. I do not have a senior position nor high salary to justify the notice period.
I have asked my boss if I can compromise and work 11.5 weeks instead which I thought was a fair compromise given my role, they have point blank refused and told me I will be working 3 months (13 weeks)
The problem is that I already gave the 11.5 weeks notice date to my new employer and they have drawn up a contract, I could go back and ask them to revise this but at the same time I feel that my loyalty now lies with my new employer and they want me to start as soon as I can. This paired with me absolutely hating getting up and going in every day is getting me stressed again.
Should I get my new employer to push back my date or should I confirm in writing that I will only do the 11.5 weeks with some sort of written reason with the current employer.
I dread going back in on Monday because the bullying situation is going to get worse now I'm leaving
