We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
1. Gave verbal intimation Jan 05, and sent official email to resign on Jan 09. Received one liner email that my last day is Feb 15.
2. Got Covid so couldn't go to office from Feb 12 to Feb 15, but requested WFH (shared report as well). Never received response on that. But kept working, attended meetings.
3. Have submitted my laptop to firm.
4. Still recieved notice saying submit laptop and pay money for rest of the notice period (which is for the entirety of 90 days, but this was never mentioned before that my notice period is not waived off)
Issue: Future employment- what will be issues when i apply to next job? Do law firms care for such things and will they check so in background check?
On a side note - send enough emails to them to prove what you said and then disclose it on a public forum. Most of these firms are bullies who think nothing will happen and they'll save a few bucks.
