I had just worked two days in a leading private bank. After experiencing the work, which is entirely different from my job description, I decided to quit. I stopped going to the bank without any letter or notice period.
Now, after a week, the branch manager called me and said, "You cannot work in any banking industry if we mark you as absconded." I had only worked for two days and never received any salary. Will there be any problem? Can I join public sector banks?

Hi Krish,
Answer the following questions to give you some useful suggestions:
1. Did you receive an Offer/Appointment letter from the Bank?
2. Have you worked on the Company's payroll or on a third-party payroll?
3. Have they shared any details about the notice period in writing?
4. Did you sign any paperwork before joining?
5. Did you not ask about your job roles and responsibilities before joining? If no, why? If yes, then why did you join there?

Dear Kresh,
Mr. Kanan's questions are very important to know your actual status. But in between, I would like to add a point. Whenever you join any organization, it may be possible that you have worked for a single day only. Even in such cases, you need to inform them in writing that you are unable to continue, and then only you should move out. This is a corporate etiquette that you should follow throughout your professional career.
It may be possible that after receiving your resignation letter they may not accept, but that is a totally different case. Nowadays, technology is so helpful that you can also send an email resignation. So be careful from next time onwards.

Sir, I got placed through my college. I had received an offer letter in which they mentioned a one-month notice period, otherwise one month's salary. I am on the bank's roll. The job is entirely different from the job description; they asked me to do door-to-door selling, and the timings are up to 10 in the night.
I have left the job before 20 days, and there has been no mail or anything official from them, but they are contacting me through phone, sir.
Need help?

Hi Krish,
I agree with Nipuna, if you are not getting the job role suitable or convenient at your end, you should have discussed it with the management of that bank. They would have surely helped you in that case.

Hi Krish,
What Nipu & Ank said is absolutely right. Thanks Nipu & Ank for adding valuable note here. But now there is no point in talking about the past which we cannot change.
One more question that I would like to ask you is, will you accept and join them again if they offer you some other assignment that you expected? If yes, meet them directly and explain the problem that you have with the current profile. Request them politely to assign different projects where you can contribute better.
If you do not want to work with them, then I would suggest you kindly do the following and see what happens.
1. Do not worry, calm down. Every issue has a solution. Write them a clear email on your resignation in a polite manner. Tell them that you were not feeling well and not in the station.
2. Meet them directly in the bank and give them valid reasons for your resignation. Let them know that you are ready to pay the notice period amount.
3. If you can work for a month's time to complete your notice period, and if they are okay with your one month of work, proceed with that, work for a month, and then relieve from the bank.
4. If your manager is not okay with anything and he wants you to work for them in the same assignment, do not worry. Tell them through email that you are not able to work due to a family issue and be happy with your current plan.
5. No company can force or threaten any employee to stay with them. They cannot mark you anything bad, and they will not do that for sure. They are calling you just to threaten you as you are a fresher. But to be on the safer side, please discuss with an advocate and have his suggestion.

Hi Krish,
Greetings for the day!
To all,
With regards and due respect to all the seniors, thank you for your valuable inputs. Krish, you need to formally inform your manager and have a one-to-one discussion to discuss your concerns. Leaving without any prior intimation can lead you to problems. It will not only impact your progressive career but also your college placements. Additionally, in the future, you might need a relieving letter or other such documents, which can also be a concern.

Dear Krish,
You would have seen all the previous advice, so let me start from there.
In many companies like banks, once you sign the offer letter and report for the job, they send the joining report to HR. Only then does the original offer letter or appointment letter come to you in such cases. The joining kit may take some more time, but as per the joining report, the backend operations of HR and payroll will initiate their work to link you with the system, payroll, e muster, and more importantly, they will start counting your salary days from the date of reporting, considering it as your joining date.
Now, as per common practices, the Branch Manager has to issue letters of caution, warning, and escalate to HR for termination. Alternatively, you can quit through the system (via the intranet after logging in with your employee code and password). Resignation letters are not required for many new generation banks and insurance companies. However, they insist on quitting electronically, as explained above. If you want a relieving letter, you will have to quit; otherwise, they may issue a termination letter. If it is only for less than a week and no joining docs are submitted, HR may revoke your offer letter as if you have not joined and will make corrections in the system. In that case, you do not need to show this experience, but I would not advise you to do so because it could become an integrity issue in the future. There are enough chances for your new employer to find out about this if you are working in the same city.
They are unlikely to want you to continue there thinking that you are good because absconding or not attending the job without a proper reason will be viewed as an attitude issue. They simply want you to go there and make a proper exit so that they can settle it smoothly. Auditing also happens in HR, and these kinds of issues may be serious for them. Therefore, you should seriously consider going to the branch and quitting officially. Many things happen for a good reason. Be serious and optimistic in life.

Dear sir,
I had completed two weeks of training and just two days in the branch. The branch manager behaved very rudely. I explained that I didn't have a bike, but he pressured me, saying I had to buy one within a week.
During the training and interview, they mentioned only one customer visit per day, no door-to-door selling, and working hours until 6 in the evening. However, once I started at the bank for those two days, I found myself outside the bank all day and returned late, only to be scolded by the branch manager for not bringing in any business. The bank operated until 10 at night.
Feeling overwhelmed, I decided to quit and not return to the bank because it felt unbearable. Therefore, I resigned.
I didn't receive any salary, and it was stopped. One day, HR called to confirm if I was coming back or not, without further details. However, the branch manager kept calling me, threatening to label me as absconding, which he said would prevent me from entering the banking industry or any other job.
Now, I have decided never to work in any private sector bank again and plan to try my luck in public sector banks by taking exams. However, I am very confused after the blackmail from my branch manager. Can I still pursue a career in public sector banks, or will this incident prevent me from entering any bank in the future?

Dear Krish,
You can write exams and work in any public sector bank because they are screening the candidates based on the written exams. They are not concerned about previous experience. The job in a public sector bank is very cool. You can try. All private sector banks won't treat people like this. And this depends on the person. Private sector banks start their work early and close very late. I had a bitter experience with my first pharmaceutical company. They did not pay the salary on time. But I had a very nice experience with the next company. Never try to generalize things. You are just beginning your career. Public sector banks are good options, and you need to wait until you are selected. There may be more banks in the private sector if they get approval. Or try in different industries. But please understand there will be hardships for any fresher.
Most of the time, you will be treated in the way you choose. Only in some cases will it depend on the industry and the bosses. Even if you can't achieve anything for that day, speak sincerely, and the boss should not feel that you are cooking up stories. I am not saying that you have done that. I just told you what I learned in my past.
All the best.

Dear all,
Greetings! No one has the right to threaten you according to the Indian Constitution. And of course, you can apply in public sector banks and prepare for the exams. Don't worry, they are just threatening you and nothing more. Prepare for public sector banks, and kindly settle the matter with the bank according to the official code of conduct of the bank.
All the best.
