[QUOTE="asingh, post: 2103833, member: 27090"] It is pointless getting into a court case with a firm over a notice period. The company has nothing to loose, because their litigation department will take care of it, but the exited employee will suffer for eons. The reason why three months of notice was put in, primarily, was due to us employees itself: Back in the hay-days of the .COM bubble (maybe early 2000-2003), it had become a standard practice with IT professionals and in turn BPO/ITEs to exploit the 30 day window and job hop at their whim and fancy. The projects and customer interactions used to suffer, grossly due to this. Indians being, so highly unprofessional and always greedy for money, went rampant - leaving and joining companies at high frequency. During the 30 day period, employees would take leaves, not give proper hand overs, and basically create a nuisance. Just goof off for 30 days, and walk off, as you are mentioning. So 60 days were placed in. Even this did not tame down us Indians, so they jacked it up to 90. It is not being: held hostage, but insuring BCP/DRP are maintained at the high level business quantum. To add a cherry on the cake, bonds were chalked out, to the tune of lakhs. We ruined it ourselves for ourselves..! Is their a substitute for this..? Please tell me. Reputed firms only want this, that too in original. Plus reference third parties (on behalf of the company) call up the prior company and inquire about the last code of conduct - of the employee concerned. If someone has walked off (with no relieving letter), a lien is placed in their file, and the informant will say "xxxx had bad conduct, he absconded, and we have noted him/her terminated in our records". What documents will you give..? Salary slips, PF slips. They hold no value. Tough again == NO job change. If you cannot accept 3 months, companies provision you to resign, and exit in 2 months. It is simple. No one puts a gun to someones head, to remain behind and keep working. [/QUOTE]
