[QUOTE="NotMyRealName, post: 2103888"] I thought a relieving letter is only required for the next company, not multiple employers down the line. And i personally know people who've been able to explain the lack of a relieving letter and the new place accepted it. It was [B]their [/B]demand to join asap after all. And personally, in low profile jobs of course, i've worked in places where I said I would, but never actually got around to submitting my experience/relieving/salary slips. The HR kept asking for it, I kept procrastinating, and eventually never handed it in. They didn't really care because I was performing well. Of course bigger companies obviously have more stringent policies. And, most of the stuff I mentioned before were theoretical possibilities, I did say this is probably not how it's gonna work out, and the OP will have to compromise somewhere, the company is not going to. If he talks to the new place, and they're fine without a reliving letter, then he can just serve his original 2 months notice and hand in his resignation. HR are usually a$$holes in my experience and will scream bloody murder anyway, if they're not happy for whatever reason. And they are also quick to 'adjust' all their hard and fast policies if they [B]really [/B]want the employee. So I suggested OP speak to them and find out. Completely agree with everything else you mentioned, except the justification for 2 and 3 month notice periods. Yes, this all stemmed from the BPO industry (more than basic IT), and there are multiple reasons to it. First is BPO techno-bureaucratic controls are way overkill for the jobs they actually are - something 10th standard kids could do. And the bottom line is if the employees are basically happy, there wouldn't be so much attrition would there? So in order to keep employees from leaving their crappy working conditions, the companies keep upping the notice periods and introduce bonds etc. Wonder how 2-weeks notice works in developed countries.
