Hi Ali,
I guess I would agree with you. But the golden rule is to have an alternative before quitting.
You could be honest and tell them that this was not what you expected at your workplace. There will be 100s of HR folks who will get on you like the senior members have done here. As for consequences, it is only going to increase with time. The longer you work, the more the consequences will be. In 15 days, you might be well 'off the hook' because a company typically will not have much of a gain by then and if there is a problem in the teething, it would be in their interest that they terminate you.
Some companies have extremely poor culture. Your company could be one of those. Imagine, you are going to a bank. The Cashier is talking on his cellphone. He is doing his work, but is continuously talking on his cell phone. Would you like that? Imagine it happens at a hospital where some close relative is admitted. Would you like that? Imagine its the surgeon this time... Would you be comfortable??? So, the cell phone rule can have different repercussions in different situations.
Ultimately, why should an employer pay you? For your productive time. Hence, if you are given a fixed time to work, you need to stick to it... For the first year or so, you will definitely be monitored closely. With time, the employer understands that you are in sync with the company 'thought-process' and might start 'trusting' you more... But, you are clearly not there yet. We don't allow newbies to run around and cause havoc in our companies...
All being said, it is not a personal fit for you. And by the letter, your company is pretty unprofessional. They have not given you a reasonable understanding of how things go. This could be your 'defense' in a court of law, should there be a conflict. Basic definitions are missing in your letter. You are still not 'absorbed' by the company. That would mean you are under probation or trainee or some kind of trial period. Hence, laws on probation/training/trial will apply and I believe the notice period is a little off-sync from the law. I believe the max during probation is 1 month. Anyway, there are many experienced guys here who might be able to answer that.
If you really quit, you might consider not wanting to claim the experience for your next job anyway... It could harm you more than anything else.
