Hello!
I have worked for more than 5 years at a salary and designation that does not match industry standards. I had joined at a very low package and all subsequent increments that happened was based on my low CTC due to which my remuneration does not justify the kind of role I perform. All this while I have been given false promises and I kept waiting patiently for something good to happen. I was due for promotion and a rationalization in my salary since a very long time now but was very disappointed when I got the recent increment letter which was nowhere near my expectation. Due to shortage of manpower for years now, I have been working with tremendous work pressure and tired of working more than my shift time, working on weekends and even when I am on leave. During my tenure of work I had received lot of appreciation emails and I was considered as backbone of the department and now when I lost my patience and with my decision to move on, all of a sudden things have changed.
Considering stress I had finally decided to resign. I had sent a grievance email to the superiors and waited for a couple of weeks. When I saw nothing is happening, I finally resigned in the company portal with immediate effect quoting health issues with willingness to take deduction in basic salary for shortfall days in lieu of my notice. I had ticked "No", in the option provided for serving notice period but My manager changed it to "Yes" and inserted a three months later date in the last working day column. I have done all the online exit formalities on the portal. Now when I went to the head office for asset submission and carry out the remaining formalities, the company is not relieving me and forcing me to give handover and notice period. There is a contract employee working with me since more than 2 years now in the hope that the company will acquire him on rolls but all he got is an extension of contract. Being my subordinate, this guy knows all the work that I used to do and hence there is no need to give handover. It looks like the company wants me to clear the workload in the name of giving handover until they find my replacement.
All the online exit formalities have been done which is approved in the company portal (with a last working day of next three months which I have not agreed to). Now the company is not accepting my laptop, phone and other assets and are not willing to relieve me and are forcing me to give atleast one month notice and handover which is not at all required as the contract employee and my manager knows all the work that I used to do. I gave them an option that I will be available one full day in the office to help and assist with all doubts that they may have but still I think it may not be useful and they will still keep insisting me to come to office. I need to put an end to all this as fast as possible so that I can get some peaceful time for myself for relaxation.
With huge amount of mental and physical stress, I am at a point of frustration that I dont even mind company terminating my services. I need your views and thoughts on how should I tackle this situation. Kindly advice.
Thanks you for your time.
