Stuck in a Role I Didn't Sign Up For: How Can I Leave Without Serving a 4-Month Notice?

pavi32
I joined a company as a Java developer five months ago, and I am still in the probation period. Although I am a Java developer, I am currently working on PHP, so I have decided to leave the current company. However, the company is asking me to serve a four-month notice period.

Company Agreement

Termination of employment by the Company requires a three-month advance notice in writing or payment of three months' basic pay in lieu of the notice period. Termination of employment by the Employee requires serving a three-month advance notice in writing. Such notice may not be offset by unused leave. If the Employee’s service with the company is less than a year, then the Employee is required to serve a four-month advance notice in writing.

I do not want to work on PHP. How can I leave this company without serving four months? I have requested HR 100 times, but they are saying we can't break the agreement.

Did you get an offer? If not, do not show this company on your resume. Four months of notice is as clear as "DO NOT LEAVE".
