Dear Seniors,
One of my friends joined an organization as the head of the department four months ago with three direct reports. Upon his joining, the team provided him with a lot of negative feedback about the organization, but my friend did not react. A former colleague who had recently resigned from the company requested to meet my friend. Since the resignation occurred while my friend was on leave, he initially declined the meeting and asked the individual to come to the office if he wished to meet. However, the colleague insisted, leading my friend to meet him briefly for about 10 minutes, having a general conversation. During this meeting, the colleague expressed regret for resigning in my friend's absence, mentioned aspirations for growth in the future, and the need for assistance in personal development despite resigning to pursue further studies.
My friend did not inform his superiors (boss/MD/Director) about this interaction, deeming it unimportant and due to a heavy workload, eventually forgetting about it. Nevertheless, they became aware of the situation and consequently asked him to resign. This turn of events has deeply troubled my friend as he joined the organization based on a recommendation from an acquaintance, who has now distanced themselves.
As an unconfirmed employee who joined just four months ago, my friend made the transition to this organization from his previous place of employment where he only spent six months. The reason for leaving the previous organization was the desire to work under the known boss.
Feeling a loss of confidence and sinking into deep depression, my friend questions the grounds on which the company is asking him to leave, feeling unheard and anxious about his career being in jeopardy.
Thanks & Regards
From India, Mumbai

This cant be the reason for which company has asked to resigned. If this is so, its injustice on your friends part.Instead of going in depression & loosing confidence, go for legal action.

You may advise your friend that he should personally meet his boss and explain his position regarding the meeting held between him and the ex-employee of the company. If the boss still insists on his resignation, it might be better to leave the company. I feel that there is no point in working in a company where there is a lack of mutual trust and confidence in the relationship between employee and employer. Your friend still has the option to raise an industrial dispute before the concerned official of the labor department.
Relevance of Communication
I agree with the Executor that the email from Sh. Kiran Kumar is completely out of context and has no relevance to the problem posed by Sh. Iyaad. We need to confine ourselves to the question raised by the member and try to provide him with some sort of solution instead of posing our own problems and creating confusion, as well as diverting from the main issue of discussion. Everyone always has the option to post their own problems separately instead of encroaching on the existing one.
