I just wonder, is it possible for me to instigate the company to fire me?
My resignation notice is 2 months, and I can't work here any longer. Even a day also cannot tahan and and will be a great pain in the ass. If possible i want to quit on the spot. However, i don't have the money to pay for the penalty so looks like i am going to have to serve my 2 months notice anyway.
However, i just wonder, what if during the 2 months notice i just slack off? Can my employer force me to do work? What if i just come to the office and sit around and not do work? In short, can I instigate my own termination?
Now I know that this would be burning bridges and would harm my future employments but I am quitting to start my own thing and i am leaving the industry all together. Basically i am switching career.
By the way, as according to my company's handbook, it says there if an employee did not turn up to work for 48 hours straight without any solid reason, the punishment would be instant dismissal.
So can I just use this to quit? What if I just tender in my resignation and say that I am going to serve the 2 months notice. Then the next day i just do not show up to work for 48 hours straight and prompts the company to sack me. Is this possible?
How is your relationship with your current company/ employer(s)? You can ask for early release. Smart employers will let you leave earlier eg. serve 1 month instead of 2 months so that they didn't have to pay for the other month when you slack. Secondly, they'll release you earlier so as not to influence other current employees working there (such as demotivating them or asking them to leave with you etc).
But end of the day, the company reserve to not allow the early release.
They can't force you to do work, but remember that so long you're under the company's paycheck, you're supposed to be responsible for your work. But I'm just curious why to the point of wanting instant dismissal?

Hi guys, just wanted to ask. I was supposed to give out a month notice but I can only give my current company 2 weeks of notice. If I agree to pay the payment in lieu would they ask for the payment on the spot or how?
Again, why can you only serve 2 weeks' notice?
If you don't mind paying for the other 2 weeks' exit, talk to your HR. Some demand you pay before your last day, some give you time till end of the month. It depends.
And guys, stop disregarding company's policy of notice period. It's not easy to hire someone, they'll need time to look for a new staff to do your job. So till then, do be responsible and not make a bad name for yourself.
