Hi all,

I have a problem with resignation. My company resignation guideline requires 2 months of notice for resignation or pay 2 months salary for in lieu of notice.
I want to resign now and willing to pay the 2 months salary. I want to resign now because the new company wants me now.

But the problem is my manager doesnt want to accept the 2months salary payment in lieu of notice. She forced me to work for another 2 months as she said there will be business impact if i resign now. I asked HR regarding this and the HR said that my manager has the right to do so!

I was very surprised as there is no statement written in my offer letter and also in the company guideline that my manager has the right not to accept the 2 months salary and can force me to work for another 2 months !

I asked HR what if I just abandon the job and go to the new company. The HR strongly adviced me not to do so as this is really unprofessional. The HR said I will get backlisted in the company and would not be able to re-join in the future. The HR said that is the only consequence if I just abandon my job and she strongly adviced me not to do so because you cant forecast your future. Maybe in the future I want to or have to rejoin the company, who knows.

QUESTIONS

1) Do you think the only consequence if I just abandon my job is blacklisted in the company? OR do you think there are other bad things can happen that the HR hide from me?
2) Can I report my case to Labor Office as there is no written statement in anywhere saying that the manager/company can opt not to accept the payment in lieu of notice? Is my case valid? I feel cheated by them. They forced me to work for another 2 months or otherwise they will blacklist my name in the company.

Please help me.
Thanks.

Hi guys,

Thanks for your inputs. I'm afraid if there are other bad things happen because I smell something fishy when the HR told me many times that dont abandon the job.
She said the only consequence is blacklist in the company....but I feel there is other bad thing that she hides...

The company is actually very big and famous in the semicond industry.......what I'm really afraid is if the company will tell the whole semicond industry to blacklist me too....can this really happen? OR am i just afraid of my own shadow?

I dunno who I can trust in the company anymore....I really feel got cheated right now....

I'm really afraid to get blacklist in the whole semicond industry....i dont want this to be happened as I'm still young....who can protect me???

Please help me.
Thanks.

I hope what u r saying is true....

Hopefully, anyone from HR here can verify this....is it true that the company will not blacklist me in the whole industry?

I'm afraid because the company is a giant....and i'm just an ant, i cant really foresee what kind of actions the company can take....

seems like the issue is not just happened to me...
if we see at the sight of the contract, yeah...we have the right to pay the notice...

but the problem is, we want to leave with everyone is happy, dont want to burn the bridge....the fact is, it is very hard.....
like one of the forummers said, a job is just not a contract based, there is emotional and personal attached to it.....so, be careful.....
