Hi,
I have been offered a job with a direct rival to my current employer.My contract with my current employer states that I must serve 3 months notice.
I am assuming that I wont get Garden Leave on the basis that we are very busy.
Do I need to tell my current employer who my new employer are? As I understand it I can get a standard reference from my HR department and so I don't need to get one from my direct report.
I intend to take a few weeks off between roles and so, on that basis, I think I can say to my employer that I am leaving as I want to take some time out and I haven't signed up for a new job anywhere.
Appreciate that this is slightly dishonest but have I an obligation to tell them who I am joining?
I am not keen on telling them as I know it will not go down very well.
Thanks.
