Hi, I recently got laid off from my job due to COVID 19. I got a call from my HR informing me about the same. Although, he asked me to send him a resignation letter to my manager and CEO stating that I am resigning from the company because I got a job offer, which is completely untrue, given they are laying me off. My notice period on the offer letter is 60 days, but the HR said that I will only have to serve a month of it after I resign and that I can leave as early as possible if I'd like. I talked to my HR verbally asking if the notice period can be extended, and he said he will have to talk to the management about it, but he can't assure me anything.
I really don't want to resign, because it will be really bad for my future jobs, and unemployment by choice is not something I want to market.
I feel like this is invalid and unacceptable. I would love to get some input on this.
Thanks in advance.
