    Sorry this is a bit long but i REALLY NEED ADVICE!!!! (before I crack up )

    I have started a new job officially 1 week ago - for the previous 4 weeks I did 2 days a week in the new job until i worked put my months notice in the old job! Which I was in for 9 happy busy years!

    I realised on the very first morning 4 weeks ago that everything I had been told was a lie or a twisted form of the truth ....... I was led to believe that I was being hired to run and coordinate a busy clinic and that there was a team of doctors/practitioners and I would be coordinating the practice.
    It turns out that I am the only employee, doing a sales roll - selling treatments to online/phone enquiries.......The doctor only sees patients for 1 afternoon a week and other than that I'm totally alone in the practice with the boss - who is very unpredictable.
    Ive never done nor wanted to do a sales job!

    I was made sign my contract last week and it states that my period of notice is 6-8 weeks and if they want to end my employment within the first 3 months they can give 1 weeks notice.

    I really need to get out of there - I'm in a constant state of anxiety and feel like I have been conned out of a job I liked.

    If they had been honest from the start they could have hired the right person for the job.

    Where do I stand with giving my notice - I cannot bear to stay there 6-8 weeks more but am I within my rights to just give 1 week or could I just walk.......

    Iv been so stressed this week that I feel like I'm having a breakdown.

    Any advice would be great.

    Get a new job and walk out of this one at your convenience: they lied to you, you owe them nothing.

    Just leave. There's nothing they can do about it.

    There is something seriously wrong when you'd be better off deliberately getting fired or resigning from a job than giving a notice period. These month and two month long notice periods for new employees are ridiculous; shouldn't be anymore than 2 weeks for a job you're in less than a year, never mind a few days. Get the hell out of there and don't look back, as others have said.
