Hello sifu,

I have a question on the tendering the resignation and signing the offer letter in the new company.

Currently still working in company A, havent done anything at the moment but I'm expecting an offer from company B around next week.

i have to serve 2 month upon tendering the resignation in company A. Company B would probably buy-out for 1 month.

My question, do I tender first, go sign the new offer letter and serve the notice?
OR
Do I go sign first, then tender and serve the notice?

Its either sign first of tender first, which one is the ethical, lawful, correct step in resignation?

Noted. Yeah I know. Company B is still settling the policies and docs, etc since it is a vendor company so they are discussing it with the client company. the client company responsible for buy-out.

I am asking this cuz previously i worked in Company C and Company A bought me full 3-month with 24 hours notice only. I did sign first and then tender but my manager said i should have tendered first like 3 days in advance, then sign cuz it would be like a breach of current employment terms in Company C. But she's good to me, so she accepted it right away and even asked me to stay. haha. I liked that place but the salary jump to Company A is 50% more. hahahahaha.

So I dun know which step are correct until you advised so as above.

Thank you.

It all depends in the contract. if in the contract it did mention that, then you won't get it. but i don't get it. you should get it though, no brainer.

and its normal for HR to make your resignation harder. they tend to have the negativity mentality for those who tender.

I had a friend with this situation too. A word of advise, do not trust anything without valid documents. I used to be promised an allowance of 1550, and after few months, they took 500 back with reason of overpaid and miscommunication between client and vendor.

Me and my colleagues... can only krik2 since it was only verbal aggrement on the allowance part. although, still glad they maintain the remaining 1050 until now.

Whenever you are promised something, always be concerned whether you can fight back with proof. Verbal has no value at all.

and if possible, never pay anything from yourself. unless its your dream job or something you think its worth pursuing.

if you have signed, always push them non-stop asking for updates. companies will play hard balls with money involved.

Its possible but most of the time they'll approve.depends on the company.

usually, leaves are the only one restricted from my experience since it is prorated once serving the notice period.

i have claimed the benefits(medicals, dentist, spectacles, mobile phones) while serving and it was okay.

everything depends on the company. like my first job, the HR clearly state it that all benefits are claimable as long as I am an employee until the last physical day. as for the second job, my boss asked if i have claimed everything before leaving. hahahaha. and i did! bought a new phone!

so best check with HR for any doubt.

i'm sure most answer will be, if there's a black and white docs, then you have to make sure you are not against it. if no papers at all. quit! hahahaa. thats usually the advice given by my senior friends.

btw the so called promoted, i think you are the scapegoat mang. at least thats what my friends kena most of the time. one of them, get to travel a lot when he jumped to new company, first see like oh cool got selected. then lama2, its because other people dont want to do it, and the job is troublesome.
