Hi There,

I've tendered my 1 month notice to current employer on last 14/2/2013, and at that time the HR and my boss accepted it and they even said congratulations, all the best, etc.

I've also signed the offer letter with the new employee, went for a medical check up, and should report for duty this coming 15/3/2013.

Today I got a call from my current HR and boss that they might need to reject my resignation, as they can't seem to find a replacement yet.

They even said, that in the staff handbook that the employee can't join any other similar business company, within 9 months after resignation.

Things that piss me off now, why bring this matter now. To find a replacement, is the company responsibility.

I'm gonna proceed with joining the new company this 15/3/2013. So do you guys think I will face any problem later? Will my current employer even sue me? I just to tired to think, so if they want to sue me, then I will just face it.

Any comment dear forummers?

Thanks for the reply. Similar business as in their competitor company in the same industry.

Just that the possibility for any legal action is there since there's a clause in the employee hand book stated that rules of joining their competitor.

Anyhow, just gonna do what I've planned, proceed with joining the new company. Hope that all will be just fine
