I'm currently on 2 month notice period and one month in. The senior manager asks to extend the NP for a week or two (no final date mentioned) and relieving date cannot be given until backups are in place.
The reason being some projects are not stable which makes SM uncomfortable and the colleague who will be taking over is going on vacation in aug first week i.e when I complete NP.
To note, the company hasn't accepted my resignation formally still. Since I didn't get an acceptance or last-day confirmation, I gave a date to my next cause they cannot wait until my current decision. The next company cannot push the joining date either.
I would like a clean exit but seems it won't be. Would like to hear from experienced folks here
Tldr: current company not providing a relieving date and asked to extend NP by 2 weeks for reasons I cannot help. Next company is not willing to negotiate and is frustrated. Advice is appreciated.
