Hi all, I have joined a top MNC in India. I worked for two weeks and didn't like the work profile. I would like to join another company as I have another offer. I am planning to abscond from the company. What actions can they take against me? Do they block me in NASSCOM or similar organizations? Please help me.
Thank you in advance.

Yes, there is every possibility to create some new sense, even bringing it to the notice of NASSCOM. Why do you want to abscond and join another company without obtaining clearance if you are not interested? Please talk to HR, get relieved, and then join.

Position on Absconding from Employment
The act of absconding from the workplace is deemed as misconduct punishable under applicable laws. Leaving the current employer in a lurch may result in criminal prosecution and/or the recovery of payment amounts on several counts, such as salary, PF contribution, induction costs, other incidental costs, and career blemishes. You have the option to tender your resignation and exit honorably.

Like the other members mentioned, your present company can take any drastic action—whether they actually will is a different matter. You may not like this, but your line "and didn't like the work profile" only shows that either you don't take your responsibilities seriously, take them lightly, or have just used this opportunity until you got another job with a higher CTC without the courage to mention this aspect.
Job Profile Clarity
Weren't you told about the job profile during the interview process? I am sure it was—even a small company does it—and you mention that this is a "Top MNC." If you had any queries at that stage, you should have asked. Why did you join at all when you weren't clear about the job profile?
Discussing Concerns
Even assuming that the job profile is not good, did you discuss it with your reporting manager or with HR? Based on what you mentioned, it does seem that you didn't. And you don't have any qualms about declaring that you "are planning to abscond." It looks like it's for such cases/reasons that NASSCOM has devised the list you know and talk about.
Like the saying goes: "As you sow, so you reap."
Like the other members mentioned, leave the right way if you are really serious.
All the best.

"Absconding" is not advised at any cost. Since you have joined recently, the company may relieve you earlier as they will realize that you may not be productive. Also, understand that the world is round, and you may meet your current manager again later, which will be embarrassing for you.

Its better talk to the Hr and get the matter settled either by paying the settlement amount or take a proper approval so that we avoid getting blacklisted in NASSCOM

I agree with Mr. Jayant Tewari that you should review your letter of appointment regarding the termination of service by either party during probation. Usually, no notice is required, or the notice period may be very short, so act accordingly. If you are not under a bond, you may also apply for leave on urgent grounds and choose not to return, thereby absconding and necessitating the employer to terminate your service for absconding.
Impact of Absconding
The act of absconding has the following impact on you:
1. Loss of salary and PF contribution
2. Loss of experience certificate
3. Loss of reference for checks made by the next employer
Nothing beyond that. Suit yourself.

Reading between the lines of your statement reveals that you attended two interviews with different companies. Presumably, the first company gave you a job offer, and you accepted it. The second company gave you a job offer two weeks later, probably with a higher CTC. Maybe you even told them about the offer you received from the first company.
After you received the offer from the second company with a higher CTC, you decided to abscond from the first company.
These presumptions have arisen in my mind because I am surprised that you have found the work profile uninteresting within a span of two weeks. If my assumptions are wrong, I am sorry about it.
Never Abscond from a Workplace
Deserting a responsibility assigned to you without proper relieving is considered inappropriate. I am 100% certain that none of the learned members in this forum will subscribe to the view of absconding from the workplace just because the work profile was found uninteresting within 2 weeks of joining.

You can submit your resignation and ask for a relieving order. I hope you have informed the new company about your previous job experience. If your current company doesn't provide you with a relieving order, you can ask for a buyback or read the Termination clause in your Appointment Letter.
However, in my view, you should not abscond from any organization. Also, keep in mind that the company can take legal action against you if necessary.

I fully support the views of MVKannan. Very interesting reading. It is foolish to go absconding to join another organization. Since you are not resigning from your current job before joining another company, you will be on the payroll of two companies simultaneously. In simple words, it will be considered double employment, which is an offense.
Suggestion for Resignation Process
I suggest writing a letter of resignation in duplicate. Submit one copy and have HR acknowledge the duplicate. Then, respectfully walk away and join the new group. It's a straightforward process, so why would you want to create trouble for yourself?

I joined an Indian MNC two months ago. During the interview process, they never mentioned any shifts. I found out that there would be rotational and night shifts after spending a few days in the company. I have serious health issues as I underwent an operation a few months ago. It's impossible for me to work in shifts. I discussed this problem with my supervisor and informed him that I want to resign from the company immediately. He stated that I need to submit my medical documents, and then they will decide if I must serve the entire three months' notice period. Serving any notice period is not feasible for me, and I do not require an experience letter from the company. I sent the resignation email and medical documents to my supervisor and HR, requesting immediate relieving and stating that it would be my last working day.
The next day, I did not report to the office. HR emailed me, informing that they tried to contact me. They mentioned that I must either serve a three months' notice or compensate for the notice period shortfall for a clear exit. Failure to comply would lead them to close it as per policy.
Please advise on the next course of action. Also, note that I do not need an experience letter from the company.
