That's a typo, I start on 1 July which is a Monday but thanks for taking the time to review my previous posts

you can edit and fix errors in previous posts.

Accepting that the 1st June was a typo and the actual start date is 1st July, I would just allow notice period to run it's course. That will allow you more time to be fully recovered from the operation and to be ready to go at the new job. There can be complications after any operation so a bit of flexibility will be to your benefit if that happened.

True, but changes to a post long after replies have been posted can make it very difficult to understand the whole thread.

Not if you do it properly

Strike through and a correction note.

for the op it could look something like

I start a new job on [STRIKE]1 June(typo on date)[/STRIKE] 1 July and I have a three month probation period...

Jesus christ, the OP came for advice on employment, not on the correct forum etiquette.

"correct forum etiquette" to rectify a mistake means they'll get the right advice, not some fool chipping in with something irrelevant...

Tell me what post #25 adds to the discussion given that the typo was corrected in this thread, which is the relevant thread, absolutely nothing.

They got the advice, problem is it was based on incorrect information.

If they had put all the relevant info in this thread they would have got more focused on target info.

Simple

OP made an offer,
HR made a counter offer

OP does not like counter offer.

Often not a good idea to deal with HR direct, go through management that's who HR work for - HR get told what to do.


If it were me

I would tell my manager the offer to leave early stands till the end of the week after that full notice, go sort something out with their management & HR.

All very pretty, but I wouldn't have known how to strike through prior to your comment. It doesn't hurt to bear in mind that when posting onto these boards people are often under a degree of stress and can make errors.

Why don't you read the post properly instead of being so judgemental. There is zero work for me to do so they are paying me to sit here and chat to people on forums.


I asked to leave early so they would save paying me for six weeks. That's about £8k they could save!


I am perfectly happy to stay and do nothing for the next two months but I was actually trying to do the right thing.

My point remains valid, just because you don't see the value of your work the employer may
