I am working in a company X for more than an 4 years. One month back, I got a better opportunity in Company Y and send the notice of resignation through email to my reporting manager. He denied my resignation and tried to convince me to continue in the company X.
After two weeks of discussion, he accepted my resignation but denied to relive in one month. he wants to serve my notice period as 2 months even though employment agreement states that notice period is one month. I told to my manager that send me acceptance of resignation letter.
My VP said dont relieve anybody until the project going to live in this mean time another one employe also resigned her job. she is ready to relieve without relieving letter. Now My manager strictly deny my resignation.
My manager mentioned that he is not going to relive me from company X till the ongoing project was completed which started one day before my resignation. This project may take 6 months or more to complete and my new company Y may not hold the offer to me that long.
Still now i did not get acceptance for resignation and postponing my resignation. they also not ready to send mail also. What an I do Now?
Will I face any legal problems, if I join the new company Y after I completed my one month notice period in company X as per the employment agreement, without the acceptance of resignation and reliving letter for company X?
