Dear all,
I tendered my resignation on 12th July 2022. I handed over a physical letter to my company's GM and HR. The GM ask me to hold on to the letter and think this through as he ask why I want to resign (I have some personal issues working with the GM which I raise up before I finally got fed up and resign).
Neverthless I handed a copy of the letter to HR and begin my 3 months notice period.
The next few days the GM tried to find some measures to make me stay with a counteroffer but I'm firm with my decision and already signed an offer letter with my new company to begin sharp October 18 2022.
This morning I've just been informed by my HR that on top of my 3 months notice period, the GM will only agree to release me the company can find my replacement and I must do a full handover.
I'm a bit worried about this term as one of the reason I left is because I felt underpaid for my scope of work and the GM tends to pile up way too much work beyond my job scope on me just because I was willing to do it (one of the reason why I resigned). I'm worried if my replacement couldn't be hired in time they will use that as a reason to hold me back.
I'm thinking of now emailing a PDF copy of my resignation later to my GM and HR and keep the copy as proof of my notice, in case things gets ugly I can at least still fulfill my 3 months notice period, but I'm trying to avoid things getting too confrontational.
I checked my employment letter on the resignation term and it does state on top of the minimum notice period for my role, there's a statement saying "subject to discretion of the company". I'm worried the company will use that clause to hold back my resignation.
Any advice for this case?
