Stuck in a Notice Period: How Can I Convince My Employer to Let Me Buy Out?

Hi,

In my company, the exit policy states that I have to serve a 2-month notice period, and the company holds the decision to waive off the notice period. Any such case must be approved by the business head. I have received a very good offer, and I have to join the company in a month's time. I am ready to serve one month of notice and buy the other month notice period. However, my manager is not allowing me to buy the other month and wants me to serve the entire notice period. This will make me lose the brilliant opportunity that I have in hand, which I certainly don't want to lose. Is there nothing that I can do about it?

Truly speaking, it's up to employers' will to decide the notice period for relieving.

Suggestions:
1) If you've earned goodwill through your hard work, you can capitalize on it.
2) If you are clear about seizing "the brilliant" opportunity, then create some stories and try to convince the seniors.
3) Always remember you have to convince the "inline manager" and not the HR.

Always ensure to leave the company with a positive note.

Wish you luck for future endeavors.

Regards,
Amit
