Respected seniors, I am in a very bad situation. I work in the largest private sector bank by assets. As per my offer letter, I need to serve 90 days of a notice period, and should not join any competitive bank till 6 months of my resignation date. Any early relieving is subject to salary in lieu and it is under sole discretion of my bank.
I have received an offer from a MNC software consulting firm which deals in back end banking operations. I have to join there in 60 days.
So my Requiement is an early relieving of 30 days.
I have discussed the situation with my boss, super boss and regional head, they have not denied me but they have told me that they will discuss with HR.
I have already put my resignation.
I had drafted a formal resignation letter mentioning my request, showed my willingness to hand over any asset, knowledge transfer or any dependency of my branch towards me. I am also ready to indemnify that I am not going to join any competitive bank and pay any sum of gross salary against the early relieving. Since i am not very profitable to bank from sales point of view, but express my gratitide for knowledge i have amassed. On humanitarian grounds I request an early relieving to give a new shape to my career.
The HR did not respond to this mail, and some how after my discussion with my seniors, the HR reverted that there is a policy of 90 days and I have to abide.
I responded that mail in cc to my zonal HR manager, that u can not deny me merely in the name of a policy and I have complete faith in my bank and it's policies.then I received a call from my HR. She was very furious about the escalation and thrashed me and denied me. She also dropped a mail stating that I was unprofessional, to which I clarified. It was a misinterpretation of my words.
My future employer is not extending my date of joining and I am in the verge of becoming unemployed.
What I want to ask you all is that can one person's verdict be considered a bank's discretion? Can it be challenged on legal grounds? Can there be any intervention? Please guide
