Dear Mr. Saleem,

You should not have joined the new employer until you are relieved; this amounts to double employment. Since you are not relieved, you may request the bank to permit you to withdraw the resignation and continue to work. Furthermore, 10 days working in another organization is a very short period to decide on suitability. Having worked continuously for 24 years in one organization, you may find it difficult to adjust immediately. Also, you need to close your employment in the new organization.

All the best.

Goodbye

Before doing any act, we have to think twice. Maybe due to some haste, this happened. Don't bother about what has happened. Once we make a decision, we have to commit to it.

In your situation, there are two ways to proceed:

1. Review the new job role and consider why it may not be suitable, as any change may not be immediately acceptable. Things do not always happen as we wish.

2. Reach out directly to your previous employer, explain the situation, admit your mistake, and try to persuade them to rehire you.

Stay positive! I hope you will find the best solution.

Hi Saleem,

B.K. Bhatia has rightly suggested having patience and managing yourself in the new organization. Don't try to put your legs in two boats. Instead, take it as a challenge and give your best. Engage yourself fully, and I am sure that after a certain period, you will be comfortable and enjoy your new work.

All the best!

Dear Saleem,

We have a policy in our company to reintroduce an ex-employee after their resignation, within a stipulated period of three months, if their PF has not been settled. They will be considered as a fresh recruit with all benefits, except continuity of service, and will be required to sign an employment agreement committing to serve the company for the next three years. There is no guarantee of being re-posted in the same location but they may be placed anywhere there is a need. Often, these re-entrants experience discomfort and may feel demoralized for a certain period. It is important not to make hasty decisions in leaving a company without thoroughly evaluating the new prospective employer. Sometimes, the culture and people in a new company may not align with our expectations.

I suggest crafting a compelling letter to the top management to explore the possibility of being re-accommodated or to stand firm in your decision to continue with your new job, despite any challenges it may present.

Best of luck.

Dear Mr. Saleem,

Comments from my friend are quite right. One has to be very sure when making such absolute decisions; once decided, you should not look back. But if you still want to surrender and withdraw your resignation, the following methodology would be appropriate:

Have a word with your immediate superior and convince him that you regret this decision and wish to withdraw your resignation. Ethically, it is not right that while serving the notice period, you have worked somewhere else for a couple of days and then experience difficulty, and wish to come back. It is your choice how and which facts you present.

Once you get some assurance, then placing a letter for the withdrawal of resignation, expressing regret for this decision, will be appropriate. Your commitment and credibility in the existing organization will play the rest of the role.

Hi,

Take it to your higher boss and speak with them. If you find a solution, that's great. Otherwise, you can explore the legal aspects with the best legal advisor. Moreover, it's based on your performance and your relationship with the company.

Dear Mr. Saleem,

The grass is always greener on the other side of the pasture. Despite having years of experience, many of us still make this mistake and regret it later. I am sure you must have conducted some background research on the job being offered before accepting it. It's not ideal to return to the same organization, especially after leaving abruptly. You have made a mistake in this regard. If the bank has not initiated legal proceedings against you, you can approach your immediate supervisor for reinstatement.

We are unaware of the circumstances under which you resigned and the role you have assumed here. If you have joined in a senior position, your background verification may have been completed, and your previous employer may be aware of your current employment. I recommend discussing your concerns with your current employer, as they may be able to address them.

In just 10 days, it's challenging to form a solid opinion about a company. I hope you do not experience a mid-career crisis, especially considering you may be in your forties.

Kind regards,

Dear Saleeji,

It is a normal practice to rejoin your bank or withdraw your resignation. Tell them that there was some family urgency at the native place due to which I had to take this decision, and now all is well, so I am back as an honest worker of this bank. I am sure your HR and reporting manager will understand and will take you back positively. Do not mention anywhere about your new job or 10 days of work as it will make your return very difficult and impossible.

Regards,

I am agreeing with Mr. Bhatia. You should adjust with current company job as you have accepted the offer and joined there. I am sure you might have submitted the relieving letter from the bank as well. If a company issues a relieving letter, they cannot take you back on the same profile with an earlier date of joining. So, here also you should join newly (if they agree to take you back). Your decision is affecting two different companies' HR policies. Whatsoever the decision you have taken to join a new job, please stick to that and continue your career there.

All the best.
