LOR from manager- Grapevine

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

Hi everyone, I have joined service based company 3 months ago and I’m in the initial stages of my career. I am planning for my MS in US in 2024. The days are approaching, I need to get LOR from 1 manager atleast.

How do I ask them about writing an LOR for me? They will for sure ask for a reason and I’m scared about their reaction of me leaving the company a year later since they’ve invested their time and efforts in training me. I have no past internships done, otherwise I would get LOR from ex- manager. Any advice would be really appreciated!

I’m on my notice right now and plan on going for an MBA sometime after a couple of years. Should I request my current employer to provide me a LOR right now, before I’ve moved on? Or should I just inform them right now and take it when I’m actually applying to B Schools? 
Also also, what should the format of the LOR be?

When should I ask my director/partner for a LOR?

Management Consulting

I have all the proofs, call recordings, rule book, etc which states "I can either serve 3 months notice, or buyout the 3 months with pay, without any reasons asked", but now the  HR is stating the policies have changed, and you will have to follow the new rules. We haven't been informed about the rule changes nor did we sign any new rule book. What should I do? I want to get a buyout without any trouble.

My manager called me in the meeting and said that from now onwards all 7 days are working because we are behind tasks.
( These tasks are irrelevant to me as these are not related to any customer development, he just wants to see how the data adds up )
Honestly I think it was the diwali week where people took things lightly and not that we are behind deadlines.
He asked me to be available 24x7 this Friday to Sunday but I had already planned the weekend off with family and pre intimated this 10 days in advance.
Now I'm getting calls that 'x' task was not done and 'y' customer is complaining etc. ( which is not the case )
On this break, I've finally made up my mind to quit.
The mental pressure is not worth it.
WHAT is a good way to put it across to the leadership??

Hello Grapeviners.

So I was put into Focus (coaching plan, pre-PIP) at Amazon. After the focus period ended I was given two options
Leave with severance
Go into PIP 

I chose to leave. So I am currently serving notice period. My manager is trying to get some unfinished work done from me. I don't want to finish it. There are multiple reasons for it. Finishing this task will benefit him more than me.I am already stressed about looking for my next job

Here's the question:
My manager says that I can provide his reference to my next recruiter/hiring manager and he will provide good feedback about me. (He said this so that I feel indebted to him and finish whatever task that he assigns me)

Do hiring managers/recruiters reach out to your previous manager? Can they reach out to your previous team members instead?

 My teammates have seen me working on the frontlines and know everything about me from my work ethic to my abilities. They can vouch for me way better than my manaher ever could. My manager always underestimated me severely. He put me into focus all because of his blindedness (this came from my teammate not me)

I dont care about burning bridges with my manager because he was toxic af. Just wanted to know if recruiters will reach out to him or not? And can I instead provide a reference to my teammates

Hi all,

As the title suggests, I want to know if there are consequences associated with quitting a company in just 3 weeks.

I've joined an early stage startup as one of the first few hires in the product team. The pay and work is reasonably okay. WLB is also good. But one of the companies I was interviewing during my NP from called me back, conducted one more interview and now I have a better offer in hand. This new company is a fintech giant and objectively it makes no sense for me leave this offer. 

I'm stuck in a situation now where I'm getting super anxious to initiate this conversation with my current manager about leaving in just 3 weeks. Can someone help me with this? Please share your experiences if possible. 

Thanks a lot.

Hey Folks,
I’m in a phase where I have decided to move out from my present company. My present company is very dear to me as it gave me the taste of what success looks like. Honestly, I would have never made it had I not received the support and backing that I got here.

I don’t know if I am making the correct decision. Emotions are literally overflowing. One side of mine tells me that I am making the wrong decision whereas the other side is excited to see what future holds for me. 

Literally anxious of all the thoughts that are crossing my mind. What if , I am not able to perform at my next company ? What if , they decide to hire me and then not honour their offer letter ? What if, the company has a mass layoff and I am impacted ?

All these thoughts are literally eating me from inside. Any suggestions on how can I handle the same ?

How to handle emotions while switching companies

Hello I am a chartered accountant and working in the field of internal audits. I had joined a company after my 3 years of post qualification experience and 3 years of pre qualification experience into internal audits. During interview we were promised to work for USA cpa firm but now they want all of us to move to internal opportunity which is not related to my profile. I have been giving interviews but not getting a good raise so how to ask for raise ?

Internal Audit

I cannot give the contact details of my manager as she can't know I'm applying to different places and secondly I think she already thinks I'm about to quit.

What to do in such a situation?

For context: an application is asking for the name, designation, email and phone number of the current manager.

Account manager

I resigned from my previous job few months ago and now I have received an offer from a different company.
I have been able to clear all the rounds and now the final round - background verification check is pending.

I have been asked to give the references of my previous managers whom I was reporting to ( need to give 2 names).

Now the issue is that I didn't leave on good terms in my previous company. I asked for an internal switch and they instead created a toxic environment and forced me indirectly to resign - which also led to a few situations where we had an argument. In conclusion, I didn't leave on good terms.
Now how do I provide my reporting managers reference.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
