Dear Seniors,
I have worked for a company for the last 01 year. Now, I have a chance to join a large company, but they are not giving me the required notice period. Our notice period is for 02 months, but they want me to join within 10 days. Considering the opportunity at the large company, I am hesitant to miss out. Should I consider going on leave for 01 month or should I resign at the last moment? I am aware that they will not pay the salary for the current month. Kindly advise.
Best Regards, Prashanth

Hi Prashanth,
Firstly, please resign and request for release (specify the date). As per policy, if the company insists that you serve a 2-month notice, then you need to settle the notice period amount in order to get an early release.

Dear Prashanth,
Let me pose you a question. Suppose the company finds a better person than you for the job, should they tell you to go now or wait till the other person joins and then fire you?
It's all a question on ones conscience. Do you consider that going on leave or resigning at the last moment ethical? Just a few minutes ago we were watching PUNYA KOTI song, in Kannada at ಕನ್ನಡ kannada ಪುಣ್ಯಕೋಟಿ ಗೋವಿನ ಹಾಡು puNyakOTi gOvina hADu - YouTube
The gist of the song is the TRUTH is our parent, friends and relations and if we do not follow it the Lord will not pardon us. I know most of our politicians do not believe in that. That does not mean we should not. In the final analysis, can we sleep peacefully after telling lies.

You are to resign from your present organization by submitting a notice as per the termination clause contained in the contract. If there is a stipulation to pay in lieu of notice, then you can leave immediately by complying with the same. Otherwise, you are to appeal to them for early release. However, it is fully at their discretion, and they may or may not accept the same.

You need to submit the notice period of 2 months, and it can be submitted in terms of 2 months' salary. So, resign and request to be relieved within the time. If you go on leave for one month, it will not be good, and the company will not relieve you at that moment. They can also communicate the same to your future company.

I agree with Mr. Nashbramhall. It was always blamed that employer are selfish. But now a days employees are so selfish. I don’t find any morality in employees of today.

Dear Prashanth,
The above comments are very valuable for you, and for sure you can try each way. But first of all, go for a positive resignation letter and thank your boss and company for what they have done for you. Then explain your reason for leaving. However, if you can manage a good rapport with your line manager and HR, they can definitely support you in leaving smoothly.

Going on leave and joining somewhere else is not only unethical it might also get you into trouble. Under most employment contracts, you cannot have two concurrent employments.

Well,
You can discuss with the HR of the company you have received an offer from and frankly tell them about your situation. You can explain that you can join their company in 10 days only if you are relieved from your current company within that specified period.
Being a professional HR team, they should understand your situation. If they truly prefer you over others and need you to join in 10 days, they may consider paying your salary in lieu of the notice period to expedite your hiring process, as some good companies do.
Do not be confused; be confident by clarifying everything before coming to a conclusion.

Hi,
I can suggest one thing - resign by giving an official letter stating that you will not be available from August 10th. Ask them to arrange for a replacement so that your work can be handed over smoothly and work won't suffer. If you serve notice, your new company may not wait, so I recommend utilizing any earned leave you have by surrendering it in lieu of one month's salary.

If your new company does not require a relieving letter from your current job, you can quit silently. Otherwise, follow the rule of either paying for the notice period amount to the company or serving the notice period. Express your commitment to the notice period to your new employer. If the new employer is willing to buy out the notice period, that's great. Otherwise, you will have to adhere to the same.

What would you do if you find another company that is bigger than the one you are currently considering? Avoiding the problem can lead to bigger issues later on, and running away from them is never a solution. You need to be mature enough to understand that dreams come at a price. I think the right course of action would be to resign, serve your notice period, and communicate the same to your future employer. This would be the ethical and professional way to handle the situation.
Secondly, if you don't have time to resign and serve the complete duration of the notice, you should talk to your current employer. No one would want to jeopardize your career, and perhaps you can find a mutually agreeable solution to the problem.
If they ask for monetary compensation, such as withholding one month's salary, and you believe that joining the other company is crucial for your career growth, sacrificing one month's salary might be a small price to pay. After all, there is no job better than the one you truly desire and enjoy.
I hope this advice proves helpful to you.
Good luck.
