Guys,

I need some opinions about resignation and its timing.

I may receive a well-paid job offer next week. However, my current job requires 3-months notice (will end in August if I resign in May) and on top of that, i'm expecting to get good bonus in July.

So, my question is, is it possible for me to accept the new job offer now and only resign after my bonus in July? As for the penalty on the notice period, it will be settled by my July bonus.

bonus is given at the discretion of the company. the moment you you tender the company will forfeit you bonus and most likely redistribute it to everyone else . this is the normal practice, unless you really really have a good relationship with the management.

Hi guys,

Hope u guys can give some opinion on my situation

I resigned from my former company a month back and have started working for a new company for close to 2 weeks now. During my notice period, I didnt have time to search for ideal job coz I was really busy. An offer (my current company) came from a recruitment agency that got my profile frm a colleague. The pay is much higher than my old job. It was 50/50 for me coz I know how harsh the environment is and coz of location. But i thought, what the heck just accept it and take up the challenge! I was quite determined but still had doubts. Even wen signing letter also still doubt. Anyway, turned out that I dont like the environment and so exhausting coz have to go back late almost everyday. (The recruiter said my position dnt hv to go bck late). And its freakin far frm my house.

I searched for new job and find a really interesting position with a really exciting company. They called for iview next week.

I regret taking up my current job. I should just wait and keep on searching. Now, i really wanna quit. My notice is one month under probation. Is it advisable that I wait until my gaji (next week) and tender resign letter so i can pay back the one month salary or tender now and ask if they can reduce the notice?

If I understand you, you are talking about the penalty they might impose should you leave early.

Do not resign first until you are confirmed to get a new job. If you do, ask the new company to pay that one month notice.

If you intend to resign anyhow, it doesn't really matter if you plan to serve out the notice, as even if you tender today, you will still have 4 weeks and your salary will still be paid.

Sorry for the long winded explaination lol

Basically I want to resign. Reason being the environment + crazy working hours.

The salary pay date is 26th. I thought if I resign before the date I will not get paid?

Never thought it could be so easy. Thank you for the guide.

Hello guys, need a head for my resignation.

Ok, here its. I got hired under the head office in KL, but I'm based in Kuching but I'm on special order to report directly to SG country manager .

So now I got a better job offer and I got asked to sign it within, I'm kinda blur on where should I send the my resignation letter to? And since I recruit by KL head office and I got my offer email via airmail, should I do the same by send my resignation via airmail as well?

No such thing. You are entitled to a pay, and even if you tendered resignation, you will still have to serve out your notice period so you will get paid until the last day of your work. Do not let the HR say otherwise. They can deduct for things like leave if you took more than you have earned, etc but they cannot hold your salary back for no good reason.

You address it to your immediate manager, whomever that is.

You can do it in private to him/her via e-mail with a pdf copy attached usually, but company practice might differ.

Thanks for the head up bro. Just got to sign my offer letter, time to end up 8 years 24/7 on call life. Gonna check with local HR for all the leaver SOP since I'm holding company's stuff like laptop, med card also.

On a site note, those item that has already write off from company do I still need to return them? I'm actually working as an onsite network engineer and there's couple of equipment that still working but already write off and lying around my place.

Well, if they know they would want it kot.. you can always feign ignorance until they ask for it back

So here's an update. I finally talked to my supervisor and handed my resign letter. He's quite cool about it and HR adviced to work till d end of this month and waive the rest of the notice period. Which is fine by me.

Went to the interview on Wednesday and still havent heard from them. Somehow I dont think I did that well, otherwise they would have called by today right I was super confident I can nail the interview coz I am a perfect fit for d job. Oh well just gonna wait for their call and at d same time keep searching for suitable job.

Already thinking to withdraw my resignation but i feel so malu already and is it even possible to do that.

To anyone whos facing the same situation like me, dont resign until u have sign d offer letter. U'll end up feeling not so good inside haha like what im feeling now. Haih dilemma of working life... Never ending dilemma

Never resign until you have a job offer bro... Best of luck to you

I am wondering what do you people usually do when your notice is 2 months and you pretty much have nothing to do in office.

Handovers and wrapping up of whatever is in your plate lo. Or if you are lucky (like me), you get to go on garden leave

My plate empty d

Guess gonna sit down for the 2 months and tend to my "office gardening" then

I was placed on garden leave bro, meaning I was not allowed to masuk office while I serve that period .. So i had like few weeks of free time just sitting at home although no garden to tend to heh..

Arrange your farewells then, always good to leave with good feelings intact, industries are small so connections always matter.

I'd wish they put me on garden leave rather than sitting here and answer phones

Farewells already arranged, sent out goodbyes and handed over the work to the new guy already.

I was practically checking on mudah, lowyat, any websites that is not blocked by my ex company during my serving period. I took 1 week to hand everything to the new guy and was sitting at my desk doing nothing.

I handed over everything before my notice ( As i know for sure I would be leaving this time for real ) so I really don't have anything else to do other than browsing forum, netflix and reading news probably.

And I have to continue this for the next 60 days
