hi...have a dilemma here.

Am working in banking line, contract staff. during my contract renewal, I was disappointed there was no increment as compared to my other colleagues (contract) and I know that my colleague salary is double of mine tho we almost do the same task. So went out to look for jobs which what my boss say I am most welcome to do so and she has no power to stop me if I were to leave with higher pay and more stable job.

Then recently I have a job offer, higher pay and more stable. But on the same time frame, my boss did an evaluation and gave me a bonus. She mention it is not a norm to give out bonus to contract staff but she mentioned I deserve it so she fought for me. My new job offer is willing to buy me out.

It's either I choose to tender 1 week notice and proceed with proper handover, which my job does not involve projects, does not need an actual handover just an appropriate delegation. But within that 1 week, I am afraid my boss and colleagues plus seniors will get their revenge and probably may hear some nasty remarks (which is one reason I choose to leave because of politics)

OR-

To just tender 24 hr notice, and not hear all these nasty remarks but probably would burn down bridges. Banking world is small and I believe my future boss knows my current boss. Some friends actually ask me to tender 24 hr notice since the new company is willing to buy my notice, so why waste it?

I really don't know what to do

I believe bridges was burnt beyond my control.

Created a big hoo haa when I tendered and in fact caused a shocked in the company because I was the least expected to go and seems happy in the company. So when I tendered I was labelled as being sneaky and cannot be trusted. In fact I took the professional way of giving 1 week notice and suffer their remarks. So much of being professional.
