How to leave my job without burning bridges?
Context- I am at a startup with salary and allowances not being paid for almost 6 months now. I plan on to quit within the next 10 days (it’s very scary). How do I ensure that they don’t fuck me over with my dues and make it a painful process? What are the things I need to ask for in my resignation mail?
With normal quitting, the rule is to always make it as nice as possible.
Say it’s about what you want to do in the mid to long term and hence why you’re making the move - I want to get into product, I want to rest and work on myself, I want to do my own projects etc.
Don’t say they did something wrong. Or that you’re unhappy.
Whether or not they’ll be able to pay is still a question though :)
Why is it always like this that the ball is in employer's court? In this case, the employee has not been receiving his/her salary. Why can't legal action be taken?
Agreed. It’s unfair.
I’m guessing legal action can actually be taken.
But it’s just something to avoid because I don’t know how this affects future background checks.
Hopefully somebody with a legal background can chime in.
First take the salary and then quit .why will they give you salary after you quit ? Assuming they say they will.give everything in fnf but it might take 2-3 more months.first fight for your salary then leave company.
Been fighting for 6 months now.
Getting it cleared bit by bit.
I have my dues pending for 2 months now.
Ideally you need a proof of dues. It could be a formal letter from the company acknowledging the dues, or any other form of communication or document that you can use to claim your dues. You should also make sure that you do not sign anything as a part of the exit formalities that say that the company doesn't owe you anything. Given the current environment, I don't think you need to worry about background check. It is a matter of time before the news about the company is out in the public domain
Quit normally.. spew tye usual BS.. remember how sweet tye HR spoke about the company, its culture, the learning and growth opportunities... time to return the favor.. tell them everything they want and love to hear... if blame an external circumstances for leaving.. .. and count your days. To exit..
