Ans: Thank you for getting in touch with me on Rediff Gurus. Leaving a job during your probation without giving notice period is a tough decision hence, it is important for you to do it in the right manner. Here are some tips that will help:
First keep your document organized and easily accessible before your start the process. Use a diary, notebook, digital document or dedicated folder to store all records related to workplace misconduct because documentation is everything.
Write down the date, time, location and details of each incident as soon as possible after it occurred. Document everything including specific behavior or actions observed and any individual involved in it along with any supporting evidence such as emails, messages, photographs, or witness statements that matters.
Describe the impact of the misconduct on you by others in the workplace such as emotional distress, decrease in productivity, health or damage to relationships a sequential order with respect to date, time and location before you talk to anyone else.
Once documentation is over then reach out to others which include your trusted friends, colleagues, well wishers, professional network, experts & mentors for advice and suggestion to get better insight and suggestion on how to handle the situation effectively.
You should also familiarize yourself with your company policies and procedures to follow the appropriate channels outlined in HR Policy of your organization for escalating complaints to the right person responsible or you can meet HR or reporting manager to discuss your concerns openly and professionally by sharing the reason for resigning along with the possibility of mutual agreement to end the probation period early and try to negotiate a compromise with your employer. This could involve offering an option to assist with the transition during your remaining time to help mitigate the impact of your early departure.
In case, you are still unsure about your rights and obligations, consider seeking an advice from a lawyer or legal expert who is specialized in employment law to decide the best course of action based on your local state regulations and specific circumstances as well.
If possible, try to exit this toxic company in a professional manner but ultimately, the decision to resign immediately or serving your notice period depends on your specific circumstances with potential risk involved. I believe by handling this situation with these careful considerations and strategic planning you can come out from this difficult phase with minimal repercussions on your future career opportunities.
Please keep in mind that a toxic culture will beat a good professional every time. Don’t let these toxic people from this organization rent space in your head. It’s time to raise the rent & kick them out of your life while you look for a positive work environment in your next job and feel free to contact me via Rediff Gurus if you require any additional help or advice.
