How Should I Respond to a Volunteer Abandonment Letter After Extended Unpaid Leave?

I received a volunteer abandonment of service letter because I was on unpaid leave for an extended period due to my mother's medical condition. I have consistently communicated with my supervisors and HR that I intend to return on a specific date. I have also informed them via email and WhatsApp that I am unable to return immediately and am willing to resign without serving the notice period. However, I have not received any response from them. Now that I have received this letter, what should I do next?

Hi, when you are sure that you will not be able to return to work for a longer period, you could have submitted your resignation at the beginning or applied for a break in service in writing and obtained approval. Now that they have issued a warning letter to you (even after your repeated replies), it shows that your employer is no longer willing to extend your unpaid leave. It is better to go to the office in person, explain your inability to continue, submit your resignation, and close everything once and for all.

Sir, I wanted to inform you that the name of Anuj - A78903 is being struck off from the rolls of the Bank with effect from the close of business hours on 21st March 2023 due to Voluntary Abandonment of Service. The letter has been sent to the residential address available with the Bank.

Hi, It is a termination notification. They have removed you from the rolls of the bank by the closing hours of 21st March 2023.

I have been terminated from the bank. What should I do now, sir? I also submitted my resignation letter. I am requesting a regular relieving letter along with an experience certificate. Sir, is it possible for them to revoke the termination and provide me with a standard relieving letter as if I had resigned?

Hi, You can fight or request a reconsideration, but without knowing the details of your termination, I can't comment specifically. They should have followed the proper disciplinary process and might have given you sufficient opportunity to report back. Please contact your employer to make an appeal and assure them that you are ready to compensate or serve notice for proper relieving. Some employers provide proper relieving without notice after adjusting the salary in lieu of notice.

Sir, they gave me three warning letters, and I responded that I am ready to resign, but they didn't reply. I have not attended my office for the past six months. Sir, is my banking career over? I am worried that I won't get a job in the future. Please help me, sir. What should I do now?

Hi, six months is a pretty long time. At the time of receiving the first warning, you should have contacted the bank. Now, you need to resolve this with your employer only. Just meet with them in person and find out the best course of action to secure proper relieving.
