Resignation

Hey all, How are you ? Well I am not fine, I am devastated and have no idea what to do with my life now. As I can't see any way out of this mess where I am right now. I finally got an offer from a company where I have to join in 1 month but my current company is not allowing me to leave before serving the notice period of 90 days. Despite being on the bench for the last 5 months and still no hope for getting allocated with a project. Firstly, my manager told me that they'll give an early release if I find another opportunity somewhere. But now since I have got the job offer from a different company he denied it.

The HR of the company where I have to join after a month told me it's not possible to wait for 90 days and he'll revoke the offer if I am unable to join in a month.

😓 my life is a complete mess now. Don't know what to do. I am literally crying every hour, seeing my career getting ruined. It was my mistake joining such a company where employees are not at all valued.

It was difficult for me to find another job as I didn't have proper experience. I worked on a project for 8 months only and the project got ramped down.

Now I don't have any choice. I feel like I am trapped for life and there is no way out. Writing this post with watery eyes. Hoping to know if there is any solution to this trap.

I already asked about it but they said no it's not possible. You have to serve 90 days.

Make some dukh bhari kahani and ask again?

I would suggest to write an email to HR Directors, HR Head, and your skip level managers detailing about your ordeal and the verbal assurance for early release received from your manager. Put emphasis on the fact that you are on bench for past 5 months and request them to cut down your notice period to 30 days. Hopefully at least one of them will have some pity and take up your request of early release

Bro, try other companies as well! There are many other companies, which wait for 3 months...and hold your offer also! Infact, see it as an opportunity,when you can try other companies and ask for more package against what you got in previous company with offer! I have done myself! Hence letting you know!

I will not get my experience letter after that. And I need it, that's important.

Is the 60 days notice period too much?

Hi Folks I recently got an offer and the notice period over there is 60 days. In my past companies it was 30 days everywhere. Just wanted to know your opinion.

Thinking to resign.

It is hard being at this organisation with toxic people and toxic culture at its peak.

Can’t anymore (don’t have an offer in-hand and I have 1 year of experience)
