Issues in reducing notice period [duplicate]

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I resigned at this company at the first week of February, my present company notice period is 2 months. My date of joining at the new company is March 25.

I spoke to HR to relieve me early for which she agreed, but says she needs an approval from my reporting manager.

My reporting manager says once he finds my replacement and if i have finished all my tasks only than he can consider relieving me, but href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/mean">mean while i am getting lot of work, so it looks like i wont be re leaved early.

If i get assigned to lot of work i will not be able to finish the work before March 25.

How to do handle this situation?

Obviously, that was a mistake. You should have agreed to a starting date that was 2 months or more after your resignation date.

My reporting manager says once he finds my replacement and if i have finished all my tasks only than he can consider relieving me, but mean while i am getting lot of work, so it looks like i wont be re leaved early.

If i get assigned to lot of work i will not be able to finish the work before March 25.

One choice is to work harder to finish all the tasks that are assigned to you, and hope your manager finds a replacement quickly.

But you might be better served to contact your new company, explain what HR and your manager said, and see if you can have your start date pushed into April. They may do so, and still tell you that you can start sooner if things work out correctly at your current company.

Don't wait, call them today.
