I have been trying to leave my job for 6 months, finally got offered the perfect job but they want me to give 2 weeks notice … I’m meant to give like 6 weeks notice at least. I really don’t want to be stuck at my current job anymore I have no life or freedom, whilst this new job will allow me to do what I need/ want and has way more benefits.

Do I just say I’ll do the two weeks, the new job are very set on me starting in two weeks despite me saying from the start that I have a longer notice period.

Not sure what to do because if I leave early I will leave my department in the shit- but at the same time I’ve been carrying to load for so long not sure why it is my responsibility.
