Resigned but No Confirmation Yet – Is It Crucial to Get a Response?

I am working in a private IT firm, and I have resigned from the organization. I am currently in the notice period, but I have not received any confirmation on my resignation letter. I just want to know if it is necessary to get the confirmation.

Yes, a confirmation would be required to avoid last-minute hassles. If required, please speak to your manager. If that does not help, please speak to your HR. Also, you can include in your resignation email a request for approval on your resignation, along with a follow-up by marking your HR in the email as a last resort. However, I would suggest handling this through discussion.

I believe you must have rendered your resignation as per the service conditions of your appointment letter. You mentioned you are serving the notice period. In normal conditions, we discuss the matter with the management before resigning, or in other words, we indicate our intention to leave the company. If you have done this, there is nothing to worry about, and it is just a matter of time. If you have not informed them and have resigned without prior notice, and there is no reaction from the management regarding your resignation, it indicates that they are mentally prepared to part with you.

Is It Necessary to Get Confirmation?

The answer to your query about whether it is necessary to get confirmation is a big 'YES'. The reason is that you need to clear your dues with the company and obtain an experience certificate for the future. It is always advisable to leave the company harmoniously, considering that you may need them sometime in the future.

I suggest that if you have served a substantial part of the notice period, you can certainly talk to the management about the status of your resignation.
