So I decided to leave Microsoft. I have offers from Uber, Google and Tower Research and I told my manager that I'll be leaving for Google. Because of the competitor policy my manager is not filling my resignation as in Microsoft India manager has to fill in the resignation to HR and he does not want me to be walked out immediately. Not only this he has also made me on call for next one week and expecting me to complete the feature work and do proper transition simultaneously. What should I do in this case, he is behaving so weirdly. Also I want to be walked out asap from Microsoft IDC to spend some time with family and friends. Please suggest what should I do.
Use the terms in your contract . They can't over rule that in any case
Is a company decision to waive notice if he's going to a competitor.
I have seen people saying they go to competitor to get 2 free weeks even if they didn’t. So manager should use discretion. Also, if different BU, it may not matter. Furthermore, who truly believe it helps ? I mean the employee should have prep 2 weeks earlier (or more) for his exit.
Lol just cc the HR and email saying that you are going to competitor. HR would walk you out.
Just don’t show up.
I would just email my resignation and walk out and leave my badge behind
The OP isn't in the USA. Unlike the USA, other parts of the world, such as India and Europe, have employment contracts that are legal documents stipulating certain acceptable methods for terminating said contract. Walking out isn't generally one of them.
They don’t own you
In India maybe they do
Is India an “against your will” employment state?
Show him the middle finger and walk out. And start your new job ASAP before he can find ways to fuck it up for you
Just a word of caution to OP. Never(or as much as possible) burn bridges. ESP when you are parting ways. First, it’s uncool... but more importantly... you can’t foresee the future... you never know when or who would come to your aid when you are in a shitstorm, not to mention your career growth possibilities. Try to think of the patience and time taken to resolve amicably as an investment... it may or may not yield results... but when it does, it’s usually to your career advantage. In conclusion... just a hypothetical situation... let’s say you piss off your Manager, and in say, 2 years, he joins your new company as your bosses peer, or your own boss... while legally there may not be much to do, there will always be a rift or lack of trust. Just my 2c.
I’ve burned bridges in the past. Sometimes the situation merits it. Nothing is more important than your own happiness.
Are you trying a "walk me out but still pay me" maneuver? If that's the case then good on your manager to try to get you to resign.
Is there some notice period rule?
Kombur...that's not what OP said at all lol. Can't assume that
You are an at will employee. The employer can fire you whenever they want and you can stop showing up for work whenever you want. There won't be any legal repercussions if you just leave.
Why did you tell him you were leaving for Google? I just resign, I never tell my employer why I am leaving. It is none of his business.
True that
Never ever tell, you are going to work for the direct competitor. You are are just asking or trouble 😐😷 If I were your manager, I call my contacts at google to rescind your offer to make your life miserable 😩
