I am working in XXX for past 2 yrs and 11 months. I got a better job and I mailed my resignation letter on 26th September asking to be released by 25th October keeping the XXX policy of one month notice period in mind. But my project gave me 15th November as Release Date. Even my HR is telling he can release me only on the date given by my project. I'm fighting with one person or the other every day for my release date to be changed. My Date of joining in new company is 28th October and they told me they wont able to wait till 15th November and may cancel my call letter. I really dont know what to do and I feel my future career is in a big question mark. I seek your advice and help in this issue.

I completed all my pending works and clean to leave the project. But I don't understand why me leads are doing this. Leads of other teams are in support for me. And of course, myself and my lead doesn't have a good relation either.

Hi Nirmal, What is your exact clause of notice period on your appointment letter? Does it mention anything about the project? Regards

"During your tenure with XXX, either you or XXX can terminate the appointment by giving 30 calender days written notice or 1 month's basic salary in lieu of the notice."
This is what given in my call letter. There is no mention anywhere mentioning that project has the right to extend the notice period. Except my HR and my Project lead, everyone else say XXX should release a person in one month if the employee wishes to. Today I spoke to other project HR who told project doesn't have the right to extend notice period and promised to help in this case.

Hi Nirmal,
You can follow the norms as oer your appointment letter of one month's notice period, but you can still talk to the other company wherein you are selected for a better position position for an extension of hardly 17 days, in my opinion, they also should understand the crux of your problem. In the mean while you can speak to the management of TCS with a request to relieve after your month's notice period is completed.
Please keep the option open.
Thanks

Hi Nirmal
Suprising that an organization like XXX is doing this but i think the problem is more at your lead level rather than the organization level. Every project has the right to inform the HR that they will not be able to relieve the personnel before a particular due date. In your case, your lead is taking advantage of this for nuisance value ( just making your life more difficult).
Write to the head of HR and the CEO. Tell them your case and ask for their help. If what you say is right and all information has been handed over and tasks completed, they will definitely help you exit smoothly. Meanwhile inform the new company what you are doing and keep them in the loop.
Note of Caution : If the new company insists on the earlier date and is not willing to listen any further, let it be a warning signal to you that the company is not as great as you think they are. No organization likes to loose good talent for just 15 days gap. Something is definitely not right in this scenario.
Talk to the HR head of XXX. They will surely listen and advice you appropriately.

Hello,
Normally it is written in the appointment letter that notice period of one/two months or salary in lieu thereof is needed for submission of resignation on either side. It is also written in the same appointment letter that the employee can be retained for an extended period if the already assigned project demands so. If such clause has been incorporated in your appointment letter, you are legally liable to serve them. However if this clause is not mentioned then you are free to leave the company after serving for the notice period and the company can not insist to retain you.
If the second clause is there then you can only approach the HR senior person and make a request to him to consider your case emphatically. You should also cajole your team lead and try to get him pressurised through some senior persons.

Hi Nirmal,
I think Navneet is absolutely right. You should think on that. I would like to add another point here, if you have direct access to your legal department you can take their help too.
Here the main problem is your relation with your supervisor, since you mentioned you people don't share healthy relation he/she is taking full advantage of that and putting you in trouble.
All the best!!

Thanks all
At last today my onsite coordinator and Project Lead accepted to release me by 25th October. But still my Team lead tells me she wont let me out before 31st October citing few unnecessary reasons. Monday will be my last fight with my lead and after that I'll have to escalate the issue.
@Navneet: What you have mentioned about the new company telling not able to wait is a valid thing. But I don't have any other option now. Mine is a rare technology which is not used in many places and difficult to get a job in this technology. I can only hope the new place will be better than my present. And I got more than 60% hike. So let me face new challenges. ;-)
