Worked at privately run GP (office based) for 11 wks. Verbally agreed general working shift patterns at interview (earlies / lates balance) however this has not been honoured post-training on my rota and I have no proof of our conversation having niaively trusted the PM. I have raised this since & been told essentially: live with it.
Fortunately I had kept an eye on other available jobs. I applied & was offered a better paid, less hours, better hours role in the NHS. Pre-employment chks have taken 3 wks but finally I have my conditional offer & contract copy.
I'm not due in work again until Wednesday next wk. They have no idea I have another job as I didn't need them for a reference.
My Q:
- Would it be awful to send an email this wknd to serve notice? (to get the 1 month clock ticking so I can leave asap)
- If it would, would it be awful to send an email Monday instead informing, as I'm not in otherwise until a few days later?
- I have leave owing, can they dictate when I use it or make me work my notice with no leave but pay eg 4 days extra pay for the 4 days leave I am owed?
I don't want to wait until Weds when next in ideally to serve notice as it affects my leaving date, but don't want to have to go in on my day off to serve notice either on Monday, and there's no guarantee the manager would be there anyway at a random time I might pop there.
The manager is the main reason I'm leaving so I've no love towards them but more thinking whether behaving certain ways could come back to potentially bite me if I do things unprofessionally. It won't affect my new job as that's not reliant on a reference from GP place, but in any sector ppl sometimes know ppl & I'm trying to decide if this is a risk for me. I don't give a shiny 💩 if it makes things tough for the manager. They've left me feeling completely used & taken advantage of just cos they thought they could, which has felt horrible & was a big mistake.
Thanks.
