    Just go. If you're only covering Maternity leave, one week is enough. Good Luck in the new job.

    Nobody should feel like that. However I would raise your issues with management first and if nothing changes then walk.

    Go and do not be guilty about going. Thank God you have another job and are not dependent on the whims of ignorant people in power.

    A weeks notice is long enough OP, and leave with your head held high.

    I worked in a similar environment in my last job and was so so happy the day I finally got a new job. Everybody said I should say something to them about their behaviour on my last day but really there's no point. They are not going to change and will just think that you are the odd one!

    Enjoy your new job - I've never looked back since I left my hellhole!!
