Dear member,
Quite dismaying to find that after serving for 15 years, you are required to go through the ordeal of an unsmooth separation. It appears that you could not develop proper contacts within the company. Even after serving for one and a half-decade, your relationship remained transactional with them.
Why the authorities are rude to you? Is your separation under normal circumstances or it is under negative connotation? Have you been told to submit the papers?
What about the separation of other employees? Does the company give the same type of treatment to all the exiting employees or you have been treated this way in isolation? If the latter is the case, then it shows that the company was depending on you and possibly they could not arrange a suitable replacement. As the news of your separation has given them a jolt, they are taking your separation to their heart. At present the authorities are reactive.
This is a test of your patience and coolheadedness. Therefore, do not lose your cool. You need to bite the bullet. Approach the MD of your company, and beg for a smooth exit. Let us see whether the MD shows temperateness or remains inclement.
One of the possibilities for demonstrating rude behaviour could be to bring to your knees. They wanted to enjoy their whip as an employer and finally, they wanted to negotiate with you on the disbursement of your last 1-2 months salary. Giving up salary for no fault of yours is a tough call. For the sake of obtaining an unblemished service-cum-employment certificate, whether to swallow the disappointment or not is your call.
Thanks,
Dinesh Divekar
