Hello guys..... here's my case. I know it may seem small. But getting a good opinion is better than having none at all rite?

I just joined my company for arnd 1 month. Actually all seems fine. But i dont feel like this is the line of work i wana stick with. Just dont fit me. Yes of course we can talk about learning new things is good, etc etc, but my main concern isnt just abt money. Its about doing what im most happy with. This company is small. I got a very simple offer letter just with a date of commencement of work and starting salary. No other attachments, agreements etc. I have not signed a single contract officially.
As usual, probation period is 3 months.

So i guess if i were to resigned by end of my last probation month, shudnt be a problem right?

thats quite suprising, nevertheless u should read the fine print.
what fine print? XD....... seriously there isnt any........


i.e. Your employment is subject to the applicable law i.e. Employment Act (even though your salary exceeds RM 1500-00)

By default since there are no other terms the applicable law will be choosen as default. (again Employment Act, even though your salary exceeds RM 1500-00)

None of these. And my starting salary is 1.6 =P

the above i am not certain off... but technically if there is no mention of term like:
1. duration of your probation
2. termination
3. resignation...and so on.

yes none officially mentioned in black and white yet its 3 months probation as i understand from the secretary.

TECHNICALLY - cross refer above items
1. Your probation period is infinite (continue to run until you are confirmed) until you are confirmed.
2. You can be terminated at any point in time.
3. 24 hours notice of resignation would suffice.

#1 : Serious? Lol. I dont think my boss is that keen to keep me on probation for that long.
#2 : Hmm but it has to be on firm basis i suppose? ie unsatisfactory performance or multiple warnings.
#3 : But i understand that 1months notice is the standard rite?

Btw u didnt mentioned in your offer letter whether it has a probation period or otherwise, I AM literally thinking that your letter of offer includes ur commencement date and salary only.

U are absolutely right.

My 2 cents you can resign any time you want, so long as you serve your notice on the company,.
Hmm okay. Tho ethically i do feel like i have wasted to company's sincere time and effort to get me in with all the training etc for the last 4 weeks, but as i progress each day in the company's business.........which involves alot of stuff, not just specific areas, none of which i have really grown interest in. Learning new things is good. But not putting my whole heart into my work will just slow me down and waste the company's time, and probably make my boss lose a few brain cells. i dont intend to be labled as a job hopper but i think moving on is the best i can think off. If i were to resign, i think it wud be with a happy heart. Haha.

Anyway thanks for the 2 cents. I swear there was 4 in there.........

No HD department. The secretary does almost everything. Kesian her work so hard also.

but my point is there is no written statement handed to me to read or agree upon. So i dont know if i plan to resign (before end of the month), that giving two weeks notice and then my boss and supervisor comes up with excuse say "Oh standard notice is one month and we practise it always" when it is not even formally written and submitted to me for reading and agreeing.

If they do like that i feel its not fair.

Plus the company is slightly short of manpower/staff. Previously we had 5 working staff. 2 technicians 1 sales and 1 IT and me. The IT guy left abt 2 weeks ago. So now im slightly taking over his place while still doing the technical side. If i leave i wonder if they will with hold my tender on grounds not enough staff and ask me to stay longer. The company also now seems like in the midst of getting ready to move out more projects. Im also worried if i tender now the wont allow me. They cant do that right coz no formal agreement at all? Otherwise i will ask Labour Office.

Anyway thanks for any clarifications. TQ

Alright......thanks very much for guidance. May this be a guide to others as well.

My case has now moved slightly better........well i havent resigned yet but ive talked with my boss abt my situation. Luckily he is understanding and listens. So he roughly knows my intentions. 2 months already with the company. But as Joey says......leave with a high note. Which is what im doing at the moment. Maybe end of the month or after i get my salary i shall tender in.
