7. You have mentioned that you were not happy with work conditions at ‘Work Place’?
Why were you not happy?
>>>>> 1. I was sent as a contractor to client's place although I didn't had the permit to enter or work there for 2 weeks. This means I had to request everyday to somebody within the company to let me in(this included one day waiting for 3 hrs just to enter the premises). Even after entering the building I was not given access to project area so I was simply sitting (for 8 hrs) during this 2 week period. This started my inner dissatisfaction.
2. The internal environment was heavily politicized as there were two competing vendors who were sending there contractors to the client. Since I was the only one in the team from this vendor (XYZ), I was isolated and was not included in many team discussions/activities. This increased the mental pressure further and I realized it would difficult to sustain here.
Did you ever verbally or in writing expressed the reasons to your bosses at Client’s location and in your employer?
>>>>> Yes. I complained about the 1st point but they said the process here is slow.
Let me know in case any further query is required.
I still have few queries:
1. The legal notice was sent on a plain paper with no stamps or notary sign/stamp. It just has advocate's sign. Is it a valid legal notice?
2. Do I need to reply to the notice immediately?
3. I was in probationary period when I resigned. Asking to serve 3 month notice period in probationary period, is it fair?
