[QUOTE="Criminal, post: 2103897, member: 52795"] [USER=27090]@asingh[/USER]: Sounds like you are too excited today :p I didn't mean that OP should wear his cowboy hat and ride away to glory! :D I am all for "leaving on a positive note" than "securing relieving letter by all means." Good performers always face such hurdles... they are too good to let go. Even Indian govt is known for extending retirement age for distinguished people working on crucial projects. If you say they'd blacken your past experience/conduct in their previous-employee-files, then you are talking about a very shady company. Companies performing background checks seek feedback from people at various positions, just to validate the text captured in exit notes. If you had been a good performer but not able to serve the notice period then you are suddenly not perceived as a cowboy but an inflexible person. As all other contributors on this thread mentioned, I also have the same opinion that OP should talk to his superiors. People leave jobs suddenly for various reasons but as OP is running after more money, his case will be treated as least sympathetic. Fixed notice periods are meant to safeguard company's interests. It doesn't mean that a company will always have 30~60 days of work for each employee who is about to leave. And who assigns new responsibilities (read projects) to people during their last 1~2 months? Finishing pending work and knowledge transfer are the main tasks. Process oriented companies don't have to worry much about these two tasks either. People oriented companies always suffer (hospitals, call-centers). Call-center/tech-help people keep working till their last day as their pending work can easily be delegated to others. And as you have pointed out earlier, the need for serving notice period was probably originated from this sector. Notice periods are highly flexible for other kinds of jobs. It's just that people don't question its validity. It's unfathomable that one cannot prove their past work experience if they are not in the possession of relieving letters. [/QUOTE]
