Hi all,
I am working in Company A as a technical writer for the past 2 months. I got a better offer from Company B and have accepted it. The catch here is that I am required to join Company B within 5 working days otherwise my offer would be invalid, whereas, I need to serve a notice period of 2 weeks in company A. I tried negotiating with Company A but they are not budging from the 2 week notice period. Company B is even ready to buy those 2 weeks but Company A is not ready. My question is :
1. Will I be subject to legal action if I leave Company A without notice?
2. Will Company B actually reject my offer if I don't join them within 5 working days?
