I've been working with my company now for 2.5 years. The work is stressful and we're under-staffed (who isn't). My notice period is 3 months however, (I thought it was 2) I expected that I'd get out earlier as I've put in a lot of work and am a member of Snr Mgt. Duty served and all that. It's a 24/7 company and I'm the contact point for all hours, so I work a lot.
Anyho, I get offered a new job, they really like me, it's my idea job, I've been working for a long time to get this job and I want to get in asap. I tell the new place my notice is 2 months (thought it was at the time) but I can get out in 6 weeks, honestly thought it wouldn't be an issue. Now my current company seem to be playing hardball. Telling me at point of completing of some targets that they've not really defined yet I can go etc. But also telling me to remember I'm under contract for 3 months.
Does anybody have any advice on how to handle this and what can be done on behalf of my company to keep me here? I've offered to work weekends, last nights, be on the end of the phone for them for free for a month, but I'm still facing a hard line.
