You are fed up with your employer, you get a new job you can start soon why on earth would you give 3 months notice when you could get out.

Then when you give the long  notice "to be a good employee  and do handover" the employer is happy to let you go sooner.

Maybe not that critical to the business as you thought.

If you can't fix problems with negotiation while working just leave asap don't play games.

Much as I kind of agree. And wouldn't have done it myself. I don't think a £10k bonus is game playing. I so wouldn't have handed in my notice! 

It's trade off but you don't go out of your way to "help" the employer if not happy with the way they treat you.

Perhaps they were hoping for an early release with payout.
