No Relieving Letter.
I worked for a big software services MNC. I got married and had to travel abroad,so I spoke to my manager about my resignation. He suggested me to take a sabbatical leave for a year and come back and work. I did it as that time as I had plans of coming back to india. Later my plans got changed due to some personal reasons and I knew I wont be able to return back and join. so I resigned (sent resignation email) much before my leave end date. Spoke to my manager on phone and he was OK with that. I continued with my life abroad.
Now after 6 months, I got a offer from some other company . I called my old employer for relieving letter and I found that I have not been relieved. My name still appears on the company employee list. I spoke to my manager and now he is behaving differently. He is saying rules have changed, you have to come back to India,resign and serve a notice period.
I am stuck. I feel cheated. I have raised a voice but I have no proof to prove my point. I eagerly want to join the new organisation but without relieving letter I can not.
Please suggest.
