Facing a Forced Resignation Due to Alleged Poor Communication – What Should I Do?

Hi, I was recruited as a community executive in a company as a fresher. Now, after 1.5 months, the manager is asking me to resign, citing poor communication as the reason. However, I believe I have been communicating effectively with my team members and TL. What should I do in this scenario?

Improving Communication Skills for Career Success

Instead of taking action against your company, try to improve your communication skills, which are essential for any team to perform. Be assertive; one and a half months of service is not meritorious service where you can ask for a notice period and other service conditions. Be positive and try for another job. Improve your communication and leadership skills, which will not only help you secure a job but also perform better in the new assignment.

Understanding Resignation vs. Termination

Your employer does not require your services anymore; that is why they ask you to resign instead of terminating you. Resignation is considered a self-decision, so there are no legal complications for the company. However, in the case of termination, the individual can take legal action against being terminated.

Deciding the Best Course of Action

You should decide what is best in this situation:

1. If you believe the charges are wrong, do not resign.
2. If there is some truth in the charges, it is better to resign. However, discuss with your manager to either allow more time or ask them to pay the notice amount upon your resignation.
3. If you think there is a low chance of finding a new job in this crisis, leave the decision to your employer regarding what they want to do with you without requiring your resignation.
