Transfer Dilemma and Immediate Relieving
This is Sunny, working in a Pvt Ltd company for the last 2.11 years. Suddenly, the company has decided to transfer me to another location, as mentioned in my offer letter that the company can do at any time, if required.
Also, note that as per my offer letter, I have to give a 3-month notice period or 3 months' gross salary to the company if immediate relieving is required. As discussed and confirmed by the HR person, the company has no work to offer at the current location, and I have only the option to take a transfer or resign. The company wants to relieve me with immediate effect. I informed HR that I cannot take the transfer because my family needs me at home as my wife has been advised bed rest due to recent medical treatment.
I request your advice on what I can do in this situation. I am feeling mentally disturbed as I have significant financial liabilities.

Since either way you may have to make a decision, it's best to weigh the options and consider the likely implications. For now, you may consider taking the transfer if you are in need of money and try to look for another job before resigning completely. If possible, try to bring your wife with you to the new place so you can take care of her. Remember, this is just a phase that will pass, so don't lose heart and continue searching for a job before making a final decision. If the company decides to let you go, be prepared to accept it, whichever way it goes.

Hi,
Thank you for your response. Yes, you are correct. I should accept the transfer as I am in need of money and can also try to look for another job. I currently reside in Delhi in my own house, so there is no need to pay any rent. As you may know, the cost of living in a metro city like Delhi is quite high. However, my company is sending me without any compensation or accommodation expenses, so I will have to pay rent there. Additionally, I mentioned earlier that my wife is on bed rest and cannot travel.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
Thank you.

Transfer is an integral part of your job. I would suggest going on a transfer, accumulating leave, and trying to cope with your problems at home. Look for alternative jobs. Does your company not provide HRA? Normally, companies with transfer policies do reimburse travel expenses as per the status and designation of the concerned employee.
