Boss won't waive my 2-month notice, new job can't wait. Options?
Also use your annual leave to offset. In SG you can often apply to clear accrued leave during the notice period so your effective last physical day is earlier, though the boss can reject leave. But many contracts let you offset leave against notice. Check yours. I cleared 12 days leave and shaved my notice down considerably.
