Purely hypothetical question, but quite possible others on this forum may have experienced this.
These unprecedented times have seen my current employer (non rail) change the staff shift pattern on two occasions, both times failing to give the full 28 days notice and citing occupational requirements. So, let's say you sit (and pass) assessments, MMI, DMI and pass a railway medical. The TOC/FOC calls you to offer a position, but the start date is in two weeks time. You are required to give 28 days notice of your desire to leave, as per your contract of employment, but because of how you have been treated you tell your new employer you will give your current employer two weeks notice and leave regardless. Would your new FOC/FOC see this as a failure to follow procedure? Bearing in mind you have most likely stated in two interviews how you always follow protocol?
As stated, completely hypothetical scenario but interested to see if anyone has experienced this.
