Hello, I have been working in a small company as a software engineer for 2 years. According to my offer letter's terms and conditions, my official notice period stated is 60 days. Due to a lack of growth, I resigned over email (the company doesn't have any portal) and agreed to honor my notice period. But my manager and HR were ignoring my resignation as they didn't want me to leave. From the next date of my resignation, I served my 60 days notice period before leaving.
But they are not giving me any acknowledgment. They are saying verbally that since they didn't approve my resignation (which they ignored intentionally), my notice period won't be counted and making it look like I absconded. They are threatening to give me a negative review in a background check.
No kind of reasoning is working on them. I don't know what to do as I wasn't even in the wrong. By ignoring my resignation and served notice period they think they can make people work for them forcefully. How is anyone supposed to resign from such a situation? Now my next companies will doubt me instead, even though I exited properly.
