Looking to sense check something please. I’m a junior director in a property management company. That isn’t quite the title but trying to retain enough anonymity. There are directors and managing directors above me. My job is essentially team leader but has started to expand into a more KPI driven role. The company was bought over and regrettably I have almost no access to a support structure but carry a great deal of risk and responsibility. I worked my way up from an entry ish level position but once promoted 18 months ago I was given next to no support to step up to the role and quickly expected to just know and handle things. It’s become uncomfortable and unsustainable. The business doesn’t seem to want to acknowledge that this is happening. I’ve just been issued with a new contract changing my notice period from two months to six months and a blasé “let us know if you have any questions” but not alluding to the specific changes much, other than that there may be some for alignment purposes. I’ll get an enhanced remuneration package in exchange. It really feels like I’m being trapped into staying put rather than them just making sure good people are adequately supported (I know many feel like that at work now) and want to work there. To me, only experts in their field need to give six months notice - I’m literally a team leader with some focus on growth and income. The job has been affecting my well-being and the six month thing was jarring. I feel it makes me unemployable as businesses can’t often wait that long - not for just a team leader. I know there are much worse problems to have, but please can you tell me what you think of a six month notice period in this context? Is it reasonable? More common than I realise? The new standard? Bonkers?
