Started a new job two days ago. Gone from part time to full time (I have three young children, for reference).
I absolutely hate it. The atmosphere is awful, the staff are rude and dismissive and it's not at all how I expected it to be. The extra salary from working full time is not at all worth the time I am giving up, nor the added stress from this job, once you factor in childcare costs.
I enjoyed my previous job and only really left as I was feeling a pressure to further my career, which I really don't think this job is going to do. Was told by my manager on the first day that the previous person in my position left after being off sick with stress for months as she couldn't handle the job. And basically told me a load of other problems and issues that I was going to face and then said 'off you go, sort it out' as it were!
Anyway, I've been in touch with my previous manager and they are happy to have me back. I've not actually signed a contract with the new place (long story) so I can effectively leave immediately and go straight back to my old place.
Question is: what is the best way to do this? I don't particularly feel I owe them anything. If anything I think they completely mis-represented the job.
