I am currently working as Senior Operations executive in a startup company in Bengaluru since 7 months, I have put down my papers 2 days back and have mentioned that my last working day would be this month end, I find it difficult to travel 60kms a day to office; also because i have bronchitis allergy and i am constantly ill due to the same. I conveyed the same to the Team director and he was very adamant and wants me to work for another month. I have seen couple of employees leaving the company in a short notice due to some personal issues. I have cordial relation with the co founders of the company but the team director is very selfish and adamant. My team director asked me to also email him my resignation, Its been 2 days i haven't heard anything from him. I would want your suggestion to handle this situation as per the law if something goes against me. Below is the condition mentioned in my offer letter. Please help me with your valuable suggestions.
