Hi,
I have a new offer in hand and applied for resignation, but the present company where I am working is negotiating. They have agreed to give a salary hike (percentage of hike confirmed by manager), which was acceptable to me. However, when asked for written confirmation, the manager stated that the confirmation would be provided in the form of a letter in the month of July (during the appraisal cycle).
Here, the question arises: Does any company provide written confirmation? Or should I take a chance and proceed with oral confirmation alone?

Dear Mr. Vamsi,
I believe you are the right person to judge because it is your company, and I am sure you must know about the commitments they make. However, I also believe that if you've already submitted your resignation, it's better for you to proceed to the new company because:
a. You would have already made up your mind for the new setup.
b. Even if you stay back, after a few months, you might think otherwise.
These are just suggestions; please don't mind if they are not in line with your expectations.
With warm wishes,

Hi,
Were you leaving the job for money? If yes, then just move on, as staying back after resignation is not a good thought. They will likely honor their word by giving it in writing during the appraisal, but the relationship may be strained or not the same as it was, which may bother you later.
If money was not the criterion, then there are no second thoughts. So in any case, if you have an offer and have resigned, just move on in life with confidence.
Here, I see your confidence dwindling.

Dear Vamsi, I can suggest you just move on to your new commitment rather than staying back. Just an advice rest up to you. Regards, Kapil

Hi,
The same situation was faced by one of my friends six months ago, and his boss said he would increase the salary to meet his expectations in April. However, when he received the appraisal letter just two days ago, the actual change was something else, and he is not satisfied with it at all!
I would suggest arranging to at least get an email from your boss.

Dear Vamshi,
You need to decide whether you are considering a move due to a lack of job satisfaction or inadequate salary. If it is solely because of salary, as your manager assured, remember to also consider the feedback from former colleagues at the company. If the reason is job satisfaction, then proceed with the new job opportunity.
All the best,
Thanks and Regards,

Dear Mvvamsi,
I think the best thing you can do is to choose any of the options and show the courage to stand by it. Be ready for sacrifices because no pain, no gain. Don't try to grab two things with the same hand.
Thank you.

If you feel that your employer will keep his word, do not insist on written confirmation. Considering your importance, management can treat you as a "special case" and issue you a letter out of turn. Also, consider that this should not lead to an unpleasant situation for others or similarly placed workers/employees.

Hi,
Once you give your resignation in your organization and receive the letter of intent from another organization, it is always better to join the new employer from whom you have received the offer letter. Otherwise, your image could be tarnished in both organizations. It is always preferable to continue working with your current organization, but it is important to negotiate before submitting your resignation.
Thanks
