Are the new job going to request a reference?I will be telling my boss tomorrow that I’m leaving the company and working my months notice. I am going to tell him I’m joining a competitor (I’m not) so he puts me on garden leave, just wondering if I would get away with it?
Looks like I’m not going to be able to, as in the contract for my new company it states:-Are the new job going to request a reference?
A lad at my place left to join a so called competitor, he had a 3 month notice period. He had the whole summer off paid, the lucky lucky c**t.
Just realised actually, I'm sure you can withdraw your notice. On a 3 month notice you could get yourself a few weeks off only to withdraw.

What kind of job requires 12 month notice?Probably wise not to lie, I am just finishing something similar but my notice was 12 months and they chose to put me in the garden for the whole year, loved travelling and doing very little, looking for a job now and not looking forward to getting back into that if someone does make me an offer.
A lot of real estate firms have long notices for fee earning partners to stop them taking their business to the competition, they believed it would freeze them from their contacts so you couldn't do valuation work, sales, lettings etc and that the firm would retain the work. They are old fashioned contracts and cannot buy out the people from them, I wasn't a fee earner but made the same grade as them running the ops teams of Finance, HR, IT, legals etc and then they wanted to take the role to the US, Happy daysWhat kind of job requires 12 month notice?
Isn't it a pain if you want to move jobs? "So Mr MMJ, when can you join us?", "In 12 months!!"A lot of real estate firms have long notices for fee earning partners to stop them taking their business to the competition, they believed it would freeze them from their contacts so you couldn't do valuation work, sales, lettings etc and that the firm would retain the work.

How can they be legal when they stop you working for someone else for such a long time? Of course the good side is being paid 12 months to do nothing
Tbf if he's got a 12 months notice, he's probably earned enough to not care n if nobody hires him for a few months!Isn't it a pain if you want to move jobs? "So Mr MMJ, when can you join us?", "In 12 months!!"

I reckon it’s in the bag!I always joked it would be a real pain if I wanted to leave but they probably would have only held me until they found a replacement, with fee earners, they often just negotiate a deal now on shared fees with newco etc but would still freeze out typically 3 months and no garden leave.
Anyway, if anyone is hiring, am available for work from 1st October, I have applied to be COO of the club but a lack of running a club before may hinder that, otherwise, if you can remove your COO's then I am happy to replace them, more likely, going to go back and work in Finance and be a business partner though as I enjoyed that for years before.
I am very lucky, having been there 25 years, redundancy this month and savings does give me time, still need to find something to pay the mortgage and something I enjoy doing but have I time on my side unlike many others who have far less notice periods and less service when firms make redundancies etc so no bleating from me.Tbf if he's got a 12 months notice, he's probably earned enough to not care n if nobody hires him for a few months!
Have done the same. Those things are rarely enforced.An ex-colleague left for a competitor and my company tried to enforce a 12 month rule in joining a competitor. He was on gardening leave for 1 month then joined the other company straight away. He told the company he would take them to court claiming "restraint of trade". He got away with it.
