I put my notice in a few weeks ago and got another job offer a week or so back.
My new employer is pushing me for a early start date so I requested to leave a few weeks earlier.
My firm was all for it until other lads from my team put their notice in (they're not going to the same place as me) and he basically blames me for it.
Now he's saying I've got to work my full notice (another 8 weeks). But I've already given the new place my start date.
I know it could be construed as breach of contract and he may need to get outside help in to cover when I'm gone in the short term but he's screwed anyway as one guy has already left and the other two lads have got short notice periods so would be gone around the same time as me
Any advice?
