Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
I expected the notice period - to idk? - be chiller, and give me time figuring out the next steps, but now I am thinking of ways of resigning from resignation itself.
Please do suggest, ye' smarties of LI!
You guys really need to get a clue and learn the basics of professionalism.
Oh! and BTW, do define toxic. You folks throw that word around so much.
Indian firms seem to think that its just a continuation of the servitude and bullshit until a specified date. You dont see 3 month notice periods at the Associate level (like, wtf??) in the UK - maybe that’s got something to do with the fact that the charade of “we have 100 people waiting to replace you” is just that - a charade. Maybe Indian firms should consider shorter notice periods so that they don’t have to pay these supposedly replaceable folks. And this is without going into issues such as deferred bonus components, which essentially ensure that people dont get paid for work they’ve ALREADY done should they dare to refuse to being subject to further unprofessionalism.
Some might say that YOU need to learn a bit about professionalism.
@OP - do your work and try not to burn bridges but do set some boundaries. No need to pick up calls or respond to emails late into the night, identify reasonable timelines for turning around deliverables and, if you’re being staffed on new matters, subtly keep mentioning that others should be staffed too since you will be leaving soon.
