hi...have a dilemma here.

Am working in banking line, contract staff. during my contract renewal, I was disappointed there was no increment as compared to my other colleagues (contract) and I know that my colleague salary is double of mine tho we almost do the same task. So went out to look for jobs which what my boss say I am most welcome to do so and she has no power to stop me if I were to leave with higher pay and more stable job.

Then recently I have a job offer, higher pay and more stable. But on the same time frame, my boss did an evaluation and gave me a bonus. She mention it is not a norm to give out bonus to contract staff but she mentioned I deserve it so she fought for me. My new job offer is willing to buy me out.

It's either I choose to tender 1 week notice and proceed with proper handover, which my job does not involve projects, does not need an actual handover just an appropriate delegation. But within that 1 week, I am afraid my boss and colleagues plus seniors will get their revenge and probably may hear some nasty remarks (which is one reason I choose to leave because of politics)

OR-

To just tender 24 hr notice, and not hear all these nasty remarks but probably would burn down bridges. Banking world is small and I believe my future boss knows my current boss. Some friends actually ask me to tender 24 hr notice since the new company is willing to buy my notice, so why waste it?

I really don't know what to do 

From what I read, it looks like you have already made up your mind to leave so much so that you have already told your boss of your intentions and she/he acknowledged it.

I understand it is hard to make a decision when your current boss is so nice to you out of the blues. But you have to reconsider your options (like the job offer you had which you claimed to be more stable and higher pay). One piece of nice gesture from your boss, does not necessarily guarantee you a stable job. I don't think you will burn any bridges because your boss has already acknowledged that you are shortchanged in your current role as a contract staff. You can tell your boss nicely that you had a better offer and that you like to take it up for reasons like - job stability ...

I believe bridges was burnt beyond my control.

Created a big hoo haa when I tendered and in fact caused a shocked in the company because I was the least expected to go and seems happy in the company. So when I tendered I was labelled as being sneaky and cannot be trusted. In fact I took the professional way of giving 1 week notice and suffer their remarks. So much of being professional.

Guys,

Say you want to apply for a new job elsewhere.
So you call them up and what if they ask you whether you are working at the moment?
Do we need to be sincere and tell them that we are working currently?

And what if they ask you to come for an interview?
What to tell our current employers?

How to take leave for a few hours from the current job to go for the interview?

Many thanks in advance

my advice is

<So you call them up and what if they ask you whether you are working at the moment?> = YES (why do you need to lie about this? chances are they may ask you to start work with them ASAP if they are interested in you - how are you going to tender and service your notice in time?)

<And what if they ask you to come for an interview?> Just apply 1 day leave (don't bother saving up your annual leaves when you already have the intention to leave the company)

Many thanks!

The biggest problem is that Ive been only working for a month.
It's not nice to take a leave and Im not even sure if it's allowed.

I am working in a company run by a distant neighbor.
He offered me assistant accountant and I was too happy and started working immediately until I forgot to ask what the salary was.
I was shocked when he told me the salary a week after I started working, it's rm1k.
Work from 9am-6pm. I dont mind all that as I want to gain experience as Im a fresh graduate
but then I saw an ad which is shorter hours but the same salary.
So with that shorter hours, I want to stufy part-time.
Im in a big dilemma here. I dont know how to tell my boss/neighbor that I want to quit.
My plan was to tell him that I want to further my studies.

During Maternity Leave, can we resign?
Policy is need 2 months notice.
Do we get pay?

Hi Guys,

wanna ask, my company notice period is 2 month. but right now i want to serve the notice period for only 1 month. My company policy stated that if I want to serve less than the notice period I need to pay for it. how normally you mentioned bout serving the notice period? is it to tell them in my resignation letter or verbally to them? I'm planning to pay them for the other month.

hi soulknight,
do you have any annual leaves to offset your 2 months notice? If you do, then you needn't pay them for the other 1 mth.
usually, the period of notice is calculated from the effective date stated in your resignation letter.

if you wish to leave early, it is up to you to discuss this with ur manager and hr.

hope this helps.

ya I still have this year 16 days of annual leave and another 7 from last year. normally how do the offset thing work? does it mean that if I have 16 day of annual leave then all 16 day will be deducted from the notice period?

Guys,

Can we only leave at the end of the month, last day or can we leave anytime?

Guys,

Can we only leave at the end of the month, last day or can we leave anytime?

Thanks guys.
Im actually still under probation period.

I already told my boss that I wanted to resign last week ( thursday, last day of the month) but he wants me to stay on for another 2 weeks.
But i really don't want. The max I can go is one more week.
So is it ok if I tell him that I can't fulfill his wishes?
