X to Y: Navigating the Corporate Maze in Just 2 Weeks—Your Insights Needed!
Hey folks!
🌐 Joined X out of necessity. KT for 1-2 days, then POC and client tickets.
🔒 Credentials revoked, told client issues. New guy in team, no intro, he got my creds.
📊 Reporting shifted to HR, no work assigned, sensed possible layoff.
🚫 No communication, red flag, forced office visit despite injury.
💰 Salary received, PF deducted, no passbook data, doubtful deposit.
🔄 Y offered better opportunity, hid X on resume, got and accepted offer.
❓ Should I have told Y about X? Concerned:
- Tell now, they may understand or revoke.
- Keep quiet, can they find out later via background check?
🤷♂️ Policies differ, but it's about people, not policies—understand or do shit.
LinkedIn: X-> 300-400, Y -> ~4000 (layoffs recently, so numbers might decrease).
If X has credited PF to you or will eventually credit PF to you, you should notify Y. It’ll be chaotic and illegal if X decides to credit PF to your balance after you’ve started an employment with Y. One of my colleagues faced this in a startup, he had to be laid off even though he was a start performer. My manager had threatened to quit because he was being laid off, but the HR couldn’t manage anything as this lack of transparency was against company policy.
Please speak to a CA/lawyer regarding the PF mess. I’m just a humble software engineer who has seen some drama and I’m in no way an expert on these situations. It’s actually illegal to work at two different companies in a full time employment scenario & most companies want to run away from this legal hassle. One thing your Y org can do is avoid crediting PF to you during your first few months(but then I’m not an HR or accounts person or a lawyer). It’s basically shit govt laws which nobody wants to mess with.
I think yes X will eventually pay the PF after the FnF most probably or whenever they do it maybe 3/6months for all employees at once. But yes my resignation was accepted and yesterday itself was my last day at X. So it wouldn't be dual employment right? I just didn't tell them as it's just 15days. And at this point of time I think if I tell them it would create a mess as they may revoke the offer.
