My boss and my work place are toxic but that's a whole other thread.
I'm very depressed in my role and have been job hunting for months. I've had fantasies every day of leaving but decided I wouldn't until I was able to find a new job.
After a very long gruelling 3 step interview process I've been offered a brilliant job and I'm so relieved.
In my current role I've never seen or signed a work contract but I've been verbally told my notice period is 4 weeks.
Today I tried to give my boss my notice and told him my last working day would be exactly 4 weeks from today, I was told no that my last working day would be almost 3 weeks later at the end of that month as that's when I get paid. That's almost 7 weeks of notice.
He was also quite visible pissed off at me and made a few sarcastic comments but I'm used to that now.
Surely that's not right? I mean surely since I've never even signed a contract me giving 4 weeks is generous?
AIBU to just work until I get paid at the end of this month and then tell him I won't be returning?
I'm owed holiday pay and I'm sure I won't ever see that but I just need to leave.
If I work the 4 weeks now like I intended to and leave 4 weeks from now I know he won't pay me all my wage, I'll have to take it further and I'm exhausted. And I cannot work the 7 week period like he wants me to.
If I just leave on payday at the end of the month at least I know I have my full wage.
