Hello,
I resigned from my job yesterday, both verbally & in writing.
My employment contract requires me to provide 4 weeks notice but when I informed my boss in person of my resignation, he asked me to stay on for 5 weeks instead of 4. I agreed & sent him an email to confirm that my final day would be in 5 weeks time.
Since then I have become dissatisfied, as I feel as though I was railroaded into agreeing to stay on longer than I want to.
My question is this - Am I within my rights to inform my boss (3 days after the original conversation) that I am in fact not happy to stay on an extra week, and that I would like to finish 4 weeks from my resignation?
My concern is that because I have put it in writing that my last day would be 5 weeks from the date of resignation, that I might be committing some kind of breach.
