Hi,
I just got a new job in a company and subsequently I have resigned in my present company. My present company has a notice period of 2 months and no buyout option(available only when manager agrees to). Now, the new company wants me to join within 1 month after which the offer will be withdrawn, whereas my manager is not allowing me to go and is asking me to serve the full 2-months notice period. I told him that I am willing to serve 1 month of my notice period and during this time I will give all the knowledge transfer possible. I have tried explaining my situation to my manager several times but he simply doesn't agree and finally told me that he is not at all concerned about my career prospects.
Finally, the new company withdrew the offer and after this I don't want to work in my present company. I also told my manager that if he deliberately wants to stop me for 2 months then I will be least interested in giving any transitions or KT he wants me to give.
So, two questions here -
1. So, even if I stay and complete my full 2 months notice period but do not work up to the expectations of my manager then what are the possible legal implications that I might have to face now in terms of relieving letter or experience letter? Can he deny the relieving letter or experience letter in the absence of the required commitment even if I complete my 2 months notice period?
2. If I going to face the heat here, then what possible things can I do to improve the situation because I really don't want to work here now and even if I stay I am not at all interested in doing anything extra or showing commitment towards knowledge transfer or any transitions? Also, he is not agreeing for paying the money for the remaining notice period
Please note that I am still serving the notice period and it's already 20 days.
