Forced Resignation [Thread 423130]

Can an employer force to make an employee resign on the grounds of reason \"The employee is unbillable\". I have served the organization for past 4 years and now since I am not assigned to any project and also resigned, the employer is saying me to resign with in one week. I have stated on my resignation that I will be serving a notice period of 2 Months.

An honorable way of terminating an employee is to ask him to resign. By this the employer can avoid procedures to be followed in terminating. They can also save some financials by this. The reasons are not important.
If you are not interested to leave the job,don't resign and wait with patience. You may also try to rectify your shortcomings. As you have already sent resignation notice, let the employer follow procedures. Still, if you are interested to continue in the organization, talk to the concerned with your commitment and make them to believe you.

My dear friend,
It is very pathetic and unbearable to mere "exist" in an organization when we either don't like to continue or the Management does not want our association anymore. In the case of former one, we can show endurance and continue with patience but certainly not in the latter one.
The more you show endurance, the more the management will think that you are not able to get any job outside and they may even terminate you.
I don't know the reason behind such a step taken by the Management. However, it is better to leave the organization and work peacefully elsewhere.
All the best to you.

Dear MrunalK,
No need to resign. They are telling you to resign so that they need not pay any compensation. As per labour law you are entitled to get two months salary and the other benefits incudling gratuity if you were in the company for 5 years.

Hello Mrunal,
What is your domain/sector--IT or something else?
Pl clarify--the options available to you would depend/vary based on this factor.

You are talking Law whereas I am talking Psychology.....! I know the mental ordeals and stress of a person when rejected by the Management but lingering on the job. It will have a telling long time effect on his mental and physical health.
We both are right in our own ways, though.

Termination of contract should be as per terms of your engagement.However, your employer has no right to force you to resign.

Dear Mrunalk,
Go through your appointment letter. which conditions are there in your appointment letter.

As ramanarg said both he and Mehrunisa Basima are right from their own perspectives & so are all other posts.
But, on the long run ramanarg's advice proves beneficial. Why endure bitterness and unwanted feeling. World is wide, such shocks are most likely to improve one's attitude and capability.
Mrunalk - As you know this thing happens to millions the world over. Majority bounce back. Avoiding the other minority of people who are unable to come back, lies solely with you. Re-examine your strong points, if necessary change the domain, and work doubly hard at the new job. You will shine like the morning Sun. Believe me, I have undergone similar travail & recovered.

Thank you very much for endorsing my views Rama... People always talk rules, rights, contract conditions and bond... I have worked in private sector for more than 31 years. It's horrible to work when we are rejected by the Management - more you resist more the torture is. When the fate works brain fails... as you rightly said the world is huge, wide and broad. You have experience on this score and hence the wisdom that you have.
Regards.
