Heard this "if i sign and don't join I'll have to pay one month gross salary", decent no. Of people reject offers post signing also.  
 So i guess this some BS that the company ha written makes no sense to me.  
 I dont think there might be any consequence this is to just scare new joiners

Yes I have the same feeling but I’m still worried

I have been wanting to switch my job for a while now. I finally have an offer the product is good but the team is not ideal I will be the only designer for a while…
I need to sign the offer by end of this week.
One of the clause is if I sign and don’t join I’ll have to pay one month gross salary.
What if I don’t pay it later on?
What are the consequences?

There's a clause in my offer letter mentioning I won't be paid for the entirety of my notice period until my exit date. Unfortunately due to problems in my previous company, I didn't go through that section properly and agreed to it. I wanted to ask if it's legal first and if not, what options do I have?

Hi all, 

I received an offer from a company and signed an offer letter which stated that I have to pay them waiting period money if I'm not joining them. Now I've got a better offer from another organisation. Will there be any legal repercussions if I don't join them. I feel bad they have actually waited for me for 3 months but the company is very small and scared of job security. What can I do in this situation.

Hey all, 

Can I abandon a company within a month of joining if I get a better offer? I know it is not ethical, but what could be the other implications?

Joining Dilemma

Software Test - QA

Hey folks,

I'm currently working for a US client and I am 100% billable to them if that information matters. According to the offer letter, the notice period is of 90 days but there's a buyback option where one can choose to pay and not serve the notice period. But from what I've heard, it's up to Capgemini to accept that buyback offer or not.

So I've recently received an offer from a Singapore based startup and I told them that I can join in 30 days cuz if I hadn't, they wouldn't have even interviewed me in the first place. 
They're okay with buying back my 1 month and let me serve 30 days but I'm concerned what if Capgemini refuses to let me leave.

What are my options here? Can I tell them that I'm leaving company due to some personal/health issues so I can get an early release. Do I need to involve a lawyer? 

Thoughts please.

Thanks.

How to get an early release

Data Consultant

Hello,

So this is the first time that I am leaving a job because I have an offer in hand.

The offer letter has a joining 2 months from now because my current notice period is 2 months.

I am worried that if I sign it now and then go resign, my current company might create issues and say that due to some delay or something, my last working day will be a bit later than exactly 2 months and I won't be able to join the new company on the agreed upon date.

But I also don't want to resign before I have signed the new offer, so that the new offer is confirmed.

Do you have any advice for me?

Mechanical Engineer

I recently received a counter offer from one of the big 4 company.. I had initially decided not to join. I am reconsidering my decision and would appreciate your advice on the potential consequences. 
Specifically, I am concerned about the risk of being blacklisted or facing negative if I choose not to join the company even after accepting their counter offer. 
Is there a possibility of affecting my future opportunities with the same company? Do they black list for rejecting their counter offer?

Hi All, For example while searching a job you will get one offer and you accept also then in the 2 months notice period if you get another offer from another company how to talk to first company ?

Hi what would be the consequences if I leave a company within one week of joining , as I have got another better offer.
What reason should I give the company to leave.

Thanks

Leaving Company

This could be a rookie question, but what exactly are the implications of accepting the official offer letter and then not joining the company? Any legal issues can come? 

If not, then what's the point of all those formalities- these guys even capture the IP address, signature etc when the offer is accepted. 
Why all that fuss?

Also, when exactly does an individual become an actual employee of a company? I mean, at what point of the on boarding procedure do I legally become an employee?

Not joining after accepting an offer!

I have employment bond of 1 year, I just completed 2 months here and I’m not liking the old technology (80’s technology) I’ve been assigned here. The salary is hardly sufficient to lead a basic life too. 
I'm getting calls from Naukri for Java backend roles where I could see myself in the future. 

How do I handle notice period of 3 months if I get an offer and do I really have to pay them 1 lakh as penalty if I leave ?

System Engineer

My employer has this system of group of companies coming under one single startup umbrella. He has been delaying my salary for the last 5months with 2.5months worth of salary still pending. Now I got job outside and wanted to resign as soon as possible now. 

Last month he moved me into a other company inside the group, I signed a new offer letter. But the salary from that company for aug month hasn’t received yet. Now can I resign without mentioned notice period stating that I didn’t received my salary yet?

My company has not paid by last 3 months salary, should I need to serve notice period

Companies arent looking forward to hire me if I say I have 3 months notice period. If say I have 10-30 days of notice period, and if I do land a opportunity, how can I join the newer company on immediate basis without serving 3 motnhs. Buyout option is by having to pay the equivalent of 3 months, which goes beyond 200k. I am not willing to pay a company this much amount, given I only earned 300k from them. Should I first apply for notice period and then start interviewing or first land an opporutnity and then apply for notice period.

Software engineers how do youdeal with notice epriod?

Just got a decent offer, considering a switch. 
Not sure how to approach manager (also co-founder) with this news. 

Context: 
1. Org has no clear set of rules/policies, but I heard notice period is usually 1 month. My joining date is 1.5 months from now. 

2. Team is in a chaotic state. 1-2 folks were fired, no replacements have been hired. 1 person is on a sabbatical. Worried manager won't take news positively. 

3. Want to leave on good terms, this is my first job, so not really aware of how to have these conversations.

Hi guys, 

I wanted an advice from you as I am in a confused state. I have got an offer for a leading company with a significant pay raise. However, now at the end of my notice period my current employer is ready to give me a pay raise and match the offer. What should I do? 

I have been stagnant when it comes to growth in my current organization and whatever Upskilling I have seen is through my after office hours study. I am confused as to what should I do!? I have a 1.5 yrs experience.
