Dear All,
Looking at the matter and with due respect to the suggestions given by various members, I just want to say, why do people generally assume that the HR department would not cooperate with the candidate? As an HR professional, I personally feel that our basic motto is to establish a win-win situation for both the employee and the employer.
Why are we assuming that if the candidate wishes to resign, they would not get their original documents back? Why won't HR understand the employee's point of view if the reason sounds logical?
The last question is for Siva Kumar. Although I do not know what you mean by being tortured because one week's time is not sufficient to judge the company and the people there, I think you must try to cope with the situation. Try to have an open conversation with your seniors and sort out the matter if possible. Otherwise, you should resign and try to get the original documents, which, according to me, would be handed over to you without much difficulty.
I hope the members take the above in a positive manner and guide me if you find anything wrong with what has been said.
Regards,
Neha
