Hi All, I want to explain my case to you, so please bear with me for some time.
Verbal Commitment and Written Agreement
I got retained in my company, but with that, my company demanded a 'verbal commitment' of 1 year to stay with them. When I received my revised appraisal letter, my HR forced me to write "committed for a year" above my sign-on appraisal letter. As I was planning to stay with the company for at least a year, I wrote it. However, due to personal reasons, I cannot keep my commitment and am planning to move. Since I have given something in writing, I am afraid. Is it legitimate? Can they take any action against me if I decide to leave?
