My employer is not accepting my resignation as I have cited frustration and lack of growth as reasons for leaving the job. They are requesting me to change the reason, but I do not want to as my reasons are true. What should I do?

Hi,
This needs a detailed investigation into the reasons for your frustration and lack of career growth. It may be necessary to consider your tenure, performance, your approach to career advancement, and the response you have received.
Providing honest and straightforward feedback can help employers validate and adjust their culture as needed. However, it appears that your employer is not receptive to your feedback, and many companies may take time to evolve and treat employees fairly. Unfortunately, there may be limitations if the management is poor.
You need to decide what you want – a smooth exit. If so, consider changing the reason to seeking better prospects and move forward with the relief of leaving a challenging company behind.
Even if you believe your feedback could bring about positive changes in your current company, you may have already realized the situation. If you have confidence in your Managing Director or the top officials of your company, you could have reached out to them for a resolution. It appears there may be issues with the management, in my opinion.
Therefore, navigate wisely for a smooth exit and concentrate on your career.
Regards,

Basically, employment is a contract and it remains in force only as long as the parties are willing. As such, either of the parties can terminate the contract by strictly observing the specific terms of the contract, if any, relating to its foreclosure or exit. Resignation is the mode of terminating the employment contract at the option of the employee as a party to it. Therefore, it is the independent decision of the employee based on his own discretion.
When the resignation is in writing, conforms to the conditions of exit, and complies with the organizational protocol of communication, and no disciplinary action for any misconduct is pending against the resignee, the employer has no choice other than accepting the resignation. When the resignation is in order in all the above aspects, I don't think that the employer can have the prerogative, if any, to take exception to the reasons of resignation mentioned by the employee and refuse to accept it on that score and direct the employee formally to change the reasons. If the employer has any discomfiture about the reasons cited, why not he try to take some remedial measures, counsel the employee personally, and request him to stay on? In the absence of any such positive gestures, it would automatically imply that the resignation is acceptable to the employer but for the reasons. No other individual, whether it be an organization or an employer, has the right to ask any other individual to change the reasoning for a lawful decision taken by him.
The poster can simply walk away if his resignation is in order in all respects without waiting for a formal acceptance. After all, his skills and experience are going to accompany him always in the future, if not a positive reference from such an adamant employer.

What I've mentioned in my previous post concerns the legality of a genuine resignation as a mode of termination of the employment contract by an employee and the employer's obligation to accept it without any subjective considerations. In case the employer refuses without valid reasons, the employee must make an appropriate decision.
I have no hesitation in supporting the alternatives suggested by our learned friend Thiagu. If the poster is not ready for a confrontation with the employer due to better job prospects, he can consider modifying the reasons as desired by the employer. For example:
"In light of personal/family matters, I regret to inform you that I am unable to continue my services in the organization. Despite finding my tenure here beneficial, I hereby submit my resignation effective from [Date] for your kind consideration."
Thank you.

My advice would be simple. Why are you being overly truthful in your reasons for exit? Do you think that by expressing your feelings, the company is going to become a better place to work for others? Change the reason and leave peacefully. Are you working for your future or to make your previous company a better place? Be practical - if you were not happy or found better prospects, just move on.

Further to the inputs provided by our friends, I opine that the management should take it in a positive way, understand, and try to address the related issues as the organization is going to continue longer where the employees may come and go.
In the present competitive world, unless the organizations focus on development, survival shall be difficult, so they should be ready for change.
Upon going through your posting, it is understood that the management is not ready even to listen/see a negative comment, leaving aside the change/correction part. Hence, it's better to keep yourself away from that type of unprofessional, even unethical organization. Please think once again and act accordingly.
