I was working in a bank for the last 24 years and have submitted my resignation with a 2-month notice. However, after a month, I informed them that I am leaving the job. I subsequently joined a new job for 10 days, which does not suit me. Nevertheless, the notice period is still in force. Please suggest how I can write to request to be reinstated.

Hi,

Instead of writing a letter, you can contact your next-level supervisor and have a mutual talk with them. Explain the situation, but be sure not to use harsh words against any of the banking professionals who are working with you. If you have presented your contributions to your job as satisfactory to your supervisor in the past 24 years, that would be a plus for you.

All the best.

Hello Saleem,

I am with Yuvastanza. Talking with your immediate manager will be the best way—putting things in writing in such situations will be only for the formality of putting things on record—NOT for moving the issue forward in your favor. All the best.

Normally, merely issuing a resignation letter without acceptance by management is a one-way matter. Once the resignation is accepted, your chances of rejoining are bleak. However, it depends on how structured the HR policies of the bank are.

Please try the verbal approach, as suggested by my other colleagues here.

Best of luck; for urgent action please.

Mahesh.

Dear Saleem,

The point is that one can always withdraw the resignation until it is accepted. Since your resignation has not been accepted, as it appears from your query, you are well within your right to withdraw your resignation. How to communicate this depends a lot on your organization's culture. However, you need to be polite and perhaps a bit apologetic about the whole episode. It is better not to mention any other job prospects. The sooner you do this, the better.

Wishing you all the best.

Regards,

If your resignation is accepted, and even if you are in the notice period, nothing can be done. It is at the discretionary powers of the head who has accepted or is yet to accept your resignation.

You cannot work on your whims and fancies (resign -> accept another job -> current job not to your liking -> want to return to the previous job); please do not make a mockery of the employment system. A person with 24 years of experience can ill-afford to be immature. You may feel hurt, but that doesn't matter. It is never too late to mend oneself.

Better adjust in your new job environment and put in your best. Remember, your old employer is not waiting for you since you were never indispensable. They must have already selected your replacement and made an offer. On what basis should they cancel their offer?

Dear Saleemji,

I do appreciate Shri. Bhatia. Still, if you want to withdraw your resignation, legally you can do so but only before you receive the acceptance letter of the resignation from your management. For God's sake, please do not mention in your letter of withdrawal that you had a trial of 10 days with some other employer and found it not suitable for you. Take your seniors into confidence for the withdrawal and provide an appropriate reason for doing so.

Wishing you all the best.

Thanks with regards,

Dear Sir,

Once you leave an organization, you should not go back there. Although if you do get your job back, you may not receive the same level of respect and honor you once enjoyed. Just wait for some time; undoubtedly, you will be able to adjust to the new job environment, given your vast experience.

Best Regards.

I feel sorry for Mr. Bhatia as, by his comments, he appears to be a poor manager wherever he may be, creating havoc. The world has never been too square, my friend. Who are you to qualify this person as immature? Are you too mature for the life you are living? I sincerely doubt it.

I would never have liked to have a boss of your 'grandeur' as you are a despicable person by the way you reason things out. You must be a good manager in India: Stay there and be only be appreciated in this wonderful land... Never try elsewhere for you may feel less happy with the sad mentality that you carry with you. Cheers
