Hi all,
I have an issue that requires immediate attention. I have a disciplinary hearing at work (with strong mitigating factors - therefore no particular concerns from that remit raised). However, I have been offered a contract with a prospective employer 2 weeks before the hearing - who wish to move things very quickly.
I understand that timing of handing in my notice is imperative in these circumstances.
I have two options:
1) Turn down the offer until the hearing is done over with (as the likelihood of dismissal is minimal due to the mitigating factors). This way I remain secured in a role and subsequent movements away will constitute 'standard references'.
2) Accept the offer whilst simultaneously handing in my notice. This way I could risk not being accepted by the prospective employer due to the reference stating 'resigned whilst under investigation' and having resigned from my current employer. Therefore jobless.
What would you suggest I do? It's not a nice dilemma. Really appreciate any help here.
