i tendered resignation on 2nd August and stated i will give one week notice instead of two months. the rest of notice period will buy out from new company.

replied from hr regarding short notice : upon manager approval
replies from manager : cant promise i can leave this week, need to discuss with my team lead.

i will need to join new company on 9th August.

In this case, what will happen if my manager does not approve for short notice even if i will compensate the rest of notice period ?

Manager doesnt happy and said my act was being unprofessional.

I did not discuss the waiver with her. I sent email to her yesterday but no reply from her, so i give her a call. I asked if she received my email and about her decision of my short notice. She doesnt please for that and ask me why i need to leave this week and i told her the reason that i will be joining new company next week. without asking further, she just said " i just wanna let u know this is very unprofessional".


she did not waive the notice. i inform hr about it, and reply was upon manager approval. she said she cant promise anyting with foul manner. my lead is on leave, will be back tomoro.


my new company is willing to buy out me. does it means if my manager not approved for short notice even if i paid compensation, i still can go to new company?



i got no item on hand now. manager seems like involving some personal emo in it. she is new manager, i guess i know why.

Maybe i just wanna know can i leave even if manager doesnt approve ? hr will process my resignation ?

then i will be in deep shit ?

just normal statement saying service notice of two month else pay-in-lieu.

i have some ex colleague who did buy-out their notice period. i guess i am just bad luck to have such new manager and maybe one week notice was just too soon.

she is famous for not being fair.
