Hi All,
I am working for an IT company for 3 months. I am on probation of 6 months but I want to leave the company. They promised me for trainings on new technologies and very good quality of work but neither they provide any training or good quality of work. I am working on a project which is not related to my profile. When I talk to them on this matter, they said you have to wait.
Now I can't work there and I haven't any patience to give them notice period of 2 months or salary in the lieu which is written in offer letter. I don't need any relieving letter from them. So I just want to ask if I leave the company without any notice period, Can they sue me.

Yes, if written in a contract, they can sue you. Most companies don't, but legally, yes, they have the right to recover the notice period or pay in lieu as the contract between you and them says so.

Most appointment letters have a separate clause for resignation during the probation period. Most companies mention that if an employee leaves during the probation period, he has to serve a notice of 15 days. A two-month notice period will be valid for those who have been confirmed during the service. Kindly read your appointment letter, and if it is mentioned that you have to serve a period of two months if you resign during your probation period, then you have to; otherwise, the company has the right to deduct your notice period.
Even though it isn't a legal contract, when you sign the appointment or offer letter, it clearly reflects the mutual understanding between you and your employer. If you are not serving the notice period and neither allowing the company to deduct your salary, the company reserves the right to move legally using this document.

But isn't there any employee rights? What if they are giving you work that is not within your profile? What if the working conditions are poor? What if they never pay salaries on time? What can an employee do?

Dear [Recipient],
In reference to the content of your email, I suggest sending a detailed letter requesting the waiver of the notice period. This approach allows for a more thorough explanation and extends the opportunity for them to comprehend the circumstances better.

I don't want to leave the company. The problem is that I can't work there because of the issues I am facing. I am tired of writing emails for each of my problems, and it's irritating when they don't reply. They just say I have to wait. I have been waiting for 3 months, but nothing has happened. So, there is no option left but to leave the company.

Hi!
IT companies usually have a policy of selecting employees on the bench, in the sense of selecting employees for expected future projects or to help with attrition-related re-employment.
During this period, they would not necessarily allocate the project of your choice or a project that would increase your knowledge. Generally, they would assign you work where you are expected to help the company with their side projects. Please understand that you are being monitored, and they will also test your patience level during this phase.
Once there is a live project, based on your current performance, you will be selected for that project as a trainee with other senior team members. Based on this performance, they will decide your projects and growth path in the organization.
If clarity is the only problem you are facing, I think you should stick around and build a good rapport with seniors. This way, you can keep updating your knowledge about company strategies and will not feel left out or ignored. You can currently study the codes of previous projects to increase your learning.
If you have any further problems than you can think of leaving the organization.

Understanding the Bench Policy in IT Companies
IT companies usually have a policy of selecting employees on the bench, meaning choosing employees for expected future projects or to assist with attrition-related re-employment. During this period, they may not assign you to your preferred project or a project that would enhance your knowledge. Instead, you would typically work on tasks that support the company's side projects. Please understand that you are being monitored, and they will also assess your patience level during this phase.
Once a live project becomes available, you will be selected for that project as a trainee along with other senior team members based on your current performance. Your future projects and growth path within the organization will be determined by this performance evaluation.
Building Rapport and Enhancing Skills
If lack of clarity is your sole issue, I suggest staying and building a good rapport with seniors to stay updated on company strategies. This way, you won't feel excluded or neglected. You can also study codes from previous projects to enhance your learning.
If you encounter any further problems beyond what you can handle, then consider leaving the organization.
