Don't give an excuse, have an honest conversation. Believe it or not, Honesty is the policy, even in these times

Won’t work.

Assumptions don't take us anywhere, execution does. Believe me, your manager would have dealt this situation before

Best is to not take salary and leave without a trace

Tf?

Yup. If you take salary then all these feedback from current manager comes into picture. Plus 1 month doesn’t look good on CV. So best to avoid it and don’t leave a trace

Say that you are battling mental health issues. You have had therapy for some time now and the psychiatrist has recommended to immediately focus on yourself since the psychiatrist has diagnosed you as heavily suicidal.
Because of this you are not able to work anymore and you need to leave immediately ( notice period of 1 week for kts only) to focus on yourself.
Ideally nobody will say anything on this since this is very serious issue.
If they dont, tell them repeatedly that i am suicidal, have held these thoughts inside for far too long and may take action if not given proper care ( need to go back to family immediately so that there is no risk of you harming yourself)

This will
- Not spoil your relations with people in office/ managers
- All formalities like exit letter etc will be expedited and done without hassle
- This is not something they can dive into since this is very personal and cannot actually be explained. Somebody bring suicidal is just IS, there is no explanation of why.
On the ethics part of it. - thats something you will have to decide.

No need to give excuses. Just leave

Wouldn't you still be on probation if it's been just a month 🤔 should be straight forward

Tell them hike, manager will understand

Sadly most managers don't work that way, if that was the case there wouldn't be a notice period, and there definitely wouldn't be notice periods that last 90 days for some ppl.
I suggest, make up some excuse around family emergency and how you won't be able to work for months to come.

Yes mostly dont unless manager is good. Try to give some family reason or relocation or something. Tell them that you can overwork in 1 month and finish off whatever required

Best way is to resign and serve notice period. Ask the other company for extending the joining date till you complete the exit formalities gracefully in the current company.

Tell I sold ancestor property and became crorepati and want to retire for good.
I did the same in 2013. 🤓🤓
