Hi Experts,
I joined an organization on 2nd September 2024 based on an offer letter shared on 20th June 2024, which only included the salary structure with no other clauses. I would like to resign as I am not working in the role we discussed during the interview.
Appointment Letter Discrepancy
The organization provided me with a letter of appointment on the 7th of November, requesting my signed acknowledgment (after 2 months of my joining), but the letter is dated June 20, 2024. As per the letter of appointment, the notice period is 90 days, with no explicit mention of the notice period during the probation.
I have not provided my signed acknowledgment so far. I wouldn't have joined the organization if this 90-day notice was mentioned either in the offer letter or during my onboarding process on 2nd September (DoJ). So far, there have been no follow-ups from HR for the signed acknowledgment.
Notice Period Concerns
In this situation, if I resign, do I need to serve the 90-day notice period or not? If the organization forces me to serve the 90-day notice period, what are the ways to deal with it?

If you have not signed the appointment letter or any other document where the notice period is mentioned, you are not bound by any notice period requirement. Still, it is advisable to settle the notice period matter mutually with your current employer. The reason is that if you are moving to a new employer, they typically seek feedback from your previous employer.
