Dear Mayank,
Request you to kindly keep the name anonymous
I am working with a firm since 16 months.
I am into sales.
I have already resigned from my services and am on notice period.
I do not have any offer on hand.
The bosses are threatening that they would not issue the proper relieving letter, eg as non-performance, etc.
Can they mention the same without any prior communication to me on the said subject and if the same was really a concern then why are they not relieving me earlier?
It looks like it is an arm-twisting tactic and they are putting a lot of emotional pressure.
Since four out of seven members have resigned in our vertical, it seems they are showing the frustration on me.
I am a little soft-spoken and do not want any confrontation with them.
Will there be a legal course available to me if the relieving is not proper?
Please help.
Hi.
If there has been no prior communication and they are bringing this up only after you have resigned, then it is quite unprofessional on their part.
Serve your notice period and have a candid discussion with them. Explain that if they try and spoil your career, then you will have no choice but to take the legal path.
Alternately, since you don’t have a job, negotiate with them and continue till you get a good job.
