HELP!! My company is not letting me leave!
I work for a fairly popular and large Indian startup and I'm at a considerably senior position. As seen recently also with a lot of startups, my company is creating hurdles in my exit. I've resigned from the company but the company has a policy that allows them to accept or reject resignations at will. They are not accepting my resignation and are threatening me with frivolous law suits. I'm scared and not sure about how true their threats are. Can someone please give references of good lawyers experienced in HR practices, service and employment cases etc.? Will be grateful.
I'm a lawyer, here's what you need to do -
Send a very very polite email from your personal mail that thanks the company for all they've done for you, mentions the day you've resigned and the FNF you're expecting
Tell them you'll appreciate if the FNF is cleared asap and are looking forward to the future and wish them all the best
Do NOT answer any calls or messages from work, don't answer any emails that say anything to the contrary
If your fnf hasn't been cleared in another week or so, send a polite reminder, that's it
Don't worry about anything at all, as a senior person in the company, you of all people would know, no one goes for law suits like these

Which company? If it's a big company then their shouldn't be problem with revealing the name

What law suit? Have you done anything illegal to drag in court?
Resignation is only needed to have acceptance if it wavers from the contract. Reducing notice period, cashing extra leaves - things that are generally mentioned in your offer letter.
This is downright atrocious! I really hope you are able to exit in peace soon.
Also, revealing the company name (after you get all your documents, etc.) would actually help many in this platform in the future.
No one really can stop you from leaving! No company has the authority! And trust me, for any legal basis, even if they have it, they won't pursue it, bcoz it puts company in the limelight and not in a good way!
Ask them to give in writing. Tell them you will leave after the notice period is over. Notice starts the day you put papers - not when they accept.
