Sorry in advance, this might be long as it's a bit complicated!
I started work in my company in a specific role eg, a receptionist. I also have a specific qualification in a technology that the company uses and they employ someone who goes to other locations in the company to train people how to use this tech. This person has gone on mat leave so I applied for the trainer role for temporary mat cover as I thought it would look good on my CV.
Since then it's been a shit show. I wasn't trained properly nor given promised tools and equipment to be able to do my job properly. I have made repeated requests for necessary info from both my area manager and head office and had no responses. I even got sent documents and admin materials sent to me which were things that needed to be filled in after training visits that are password protected but given no passwords. Again, requested passwords, no responses. I got the position 6 months ago so they've had plenty of time to sort this. I was also not released from my receptionist duties so I'm essentially doing 2 jobs at once and have 2 'contracts'. I was not made aware of this before taking the job. I was supposed to be given 2 days a week to do this training but that has not happened and so it's basically impossible for me to keep up with the work. I'm also not being paid properly for anything I do out of hours and I 100% need to do aspects out of hours as there is no time when I'm in work during the day to do all the extra.
I finally had enough and have given my notice in. My notice period for the receptionist job is 2 weeks so that's what I have given, but I've since been informed by my manager that apparently the training role has a notice of 4 weeks and so I'm still obliged to continue training for 2 weeks after I start my new job (which is the day after my old one finishes). This 4 week notice is not mentioned anywhere on my 'new contract' which is why I didn't know about it.
Wibu to refuse? Technically the days they want me to do the training are my days off from my new job so I could manage it but that would mean working 7 days a week for 2 weeks when I'm trying to learn a brand new role in my new job.
My manager is now hounding me to contact and arrange these training hours with head office but I don't see why I should - I've already given my notice in and they haven't contacted me to ask me to do this so why should I chase them?! I just done with this place and want to look forward to moving on.
