So this Associate was forced to quit because he/she refused to work on a weekend because he/she had some personal commitments and the MP couldn't digest the fact that Associates dared to have a personal life outside work and on top of that prioritize that personal life. Skipping the portion about how difficult the notice period in its entirety was. He's/She's called to office on Monday and hand over her laptop/access card etc. which he/she does. And then this happens...
"Associate completes all her exit formalities and is booking a cab to go back home while standing near her desk"
Admin: Can you please leave? The Partner has asked you to leave the Office immediately once all formalities are complete.
Associate: Yeah. I'm booking the cab, Leaving in a minute as soon as the cab arrives.
Admin: Yes, But can you please wait for your cab outside the office and leave from here now? The Partner has specifically told us to ask you to leave from office premises immediately:)
Also, to add all the other associates were asked to not speak or interact with this Associate in any manner including not to say good bye to her when he/she was leaving.
For every "I don't understand why are we not finding good people?" the introspection should be "are we good people in the first place?".
I'm on notice as well, and will take kali peeli on my last day taaki ye "cab book karo magar bahar se policy" apply hi naa ho paaye:)
