Hi all, An offer from a new company gave me a joining date after 3 months, which was fine with me. However, in my present company, after submitting my resignation, my manager and BU HR confirmed by email that I would be getting an early release in about 15-16 days, but the company's online system had not been updated yet. Based on the email alone, I informed the HR of the new company that I could join early in 1 month.
However, a couple of days after this, the HR of my current company informed me that there had been some confusion or miscommunication and nothing was finalized, and they might not be able to release me early. This put me in a difficult situation as I had already informed the new company's HR about the possibility of early joining. To prevent further issues in case the new HR began the early joining process, I emailed her again asking not to process my early joining and apologized for the confusion.
I was finally relieved from my current organization after 1 month. Now, I have 2 more months before joining the new company. I am planning to take some courses during this time in case the new company asks me what I did during this period. Should I inform the HR of the new company that I have been released, or would that seem unprofessional? Yes, I acknowledge my mistake of emailing without having proper confirmation from the system. So, I am wondering if I should email again or wait and focus on taking courses in the meantime.
