Resignation after being on furlough

Hello all,

back in may I was put back on furlough for 1 day per week with possibly staying on furlough until September, however this only lasted 5 weeks (2020 furloughed for 6 weeks)

during this time I was very concerned for my job security as a manager especially when told by the director we are fighting for our jobs, hence I started to look for other prospects to which I secured a new position in another company, my notice period is 3 months however due to furlough and lack of security I have only given 1 month.

can the company successfully sue me for breach of contract?

for information since giving my notice 

my meetings have gone from all day every day to 1 meeting per day

excluded from management meetings

i have already trained an individual to cover me when I leave

  • I would be more concerned about any formal or informal reference - depending on your industry, that will be more or less important to your future career. Have your organisation expressed unhappiness with the notice period? It sounds like it is in their interest to move this along, so hopefully you can reach a good outcome with them.
