I never submitted a formal resignation, never even mentioned to my current manager I was interviewing or whether I accepted the position (I did accept).

To add insult to injury, my current manager is making me stay with his team for 6 weeks before I start the new role, due to him needing time to find a replacement. And had the audacity to tell me I actually have to stay for an additional week after the 6 that was originally discussed.

Part of me just wants to resign with little to no notice and move on with my life with a new company.

Am I overreacting? Or is this horseshit treatment?
