In Deep Stress...

Dear Team,

My notice period was 2 months in an IT MNC. I repeatedly and continually requested my management, for 25 days, to relieve me as I also have 35 days of EL pending. Nobody in the management listened to my request, so I finally quit serving 30 days of notice. After a month, I received a termination letter from my employer.

Please help me out with how to respond and also guide me - will it affect my new jobs and career? The current option is a consultant job where the project has a tight start and end date schedule. Your help will definitely guide me in the future.

Hi Anil,

I have an excellent track record of exceeding expectations over the past 4+ years. I have already cleared my dues and received the Full and Final statement from my previous company along with the Termination letter. The only thing troubling me is the use of the word 'Termination' in the experience letter sent to me via post by my employer.

The reason for not serving the notice period is due to a consultant project in Singapore with a tight schedule. I was given the choice to either take it or leave it. I tried to explain this to my current manager, but he let his ego get in the way and refused to relieve me despite having 35 days of earned leaves.

In the end, I have the Full and Final settlement letter and the Experience certificate with the word "Termination" on it. Could you please advise if this would affect my new job opportunities upon my return to India?

Thank you for your guidance.
