Notice period

[jc1988]

I am a team manager with 14 years service, but I've been offered a new job, I know there was a document floating about with the change in notice period to 13 weeks. I won't be able to give that and feel like it's very unreasonable. Can anyone confirm if it's a contractual change or is it just a Tesco process change and they can't hold me to it? Thanks

to me, its highly unreasonable, most just up and go anyhow, i doubt that they'd go for a breach of contract since it'd cost them far more chasing you to court when its not a "high job / full of secrets" position, I'd be saying you were given a choice of the job or no job if you worked your full notice period and you needed to progress in your career so accepted the position elsewhere and that you can work some notice period as a reasonable compromise, given how Tesco wants the best for everyone.
