Is there some law requiring this there? Or are you under contract to work for a set period? We don't do anything like this in the US.
-
@thecreativeone91 No I am not under contract for 1 year.My notice period is 1 month

Yeah, India is all kinds of strange when it comes to employment law. Doesn't even follow usual Commonwealth law. Let alone 'Murica.
Explains a lot, to be honest.
-
Sounds like this may be a question for a lawyer or other legal council then. We can't really help you with something like this.
-
Yeah, I've never heard of such a concept, and you've got people from both the USA and the UK in this thread so far...totally foreign concept to us.
-
Apparently it's illegal to work more than one job in India.
But it's also apparently illegal not to give you one when you request it.

I think @scottalanmiller was right about this being a bad company that just likes to control you.
-
@thecreativeone91 Now I made a decision to work in my old organization to gain experience

Huh? What experience are you getting there expect that they keep telling you to do things the wrong way?
-
@Lakshmana Did you rejected the offer already? If not, I would suggest you try to talk to the HR in the new company about the situation, and may be even ask for advise on how to tackle this situation. If they really need you and interested in getting you on board, I am sure they will help you, or at least give you some tips to tackle this. I know in India there are not much we could do, but its worth a try. Don't just give up. If this new company is good and you think this will benefit you not just income wise but your career as well, try harder
-
For this, only people with direct experience in India will be able to help. I know that in the Philippines there are similar issues where companies work together to hold employees hostage - making them unemployable unless the companies agree to the exchange. It's illegal in any modern country or any seeking to become modern. It's a massive form of corruption but one that you have to be well versed in the local options to know how to handle.
The big way out of the problem, of course, is to join a non-Indian company who would prefer people without getting a letter saying that you can leave - because companies will never release the best people. Western companies would never know to even ask for such a thing let alone be willing to get involved in asking for such as if news go out that they were doing that it would hurt their reputations greatly.
-
@scottalanmiller I agree with your point and now I have rejoined by providing them mail and the new company HR person helped me lot join in their organization.But I was unable to join because of this relieving letter from my company.I think I will get another good company than this company
-
@Lakshmana here is how we quit jobs in 'merica.... (don't actually do this)
[image moderated: community guideline language violation] -
@RojoLoco I actually did that, but only once, it was either that or transfer to Virgnia, pfft, a C job with a bunch of TCL isn't worth that. I was young then, all other times I've quit, even when mad, I was polite about it.

Never burn your bridges with your job. You may end up going for a dream job where one of your former coworkers has influence.
-
@nadnerB I think at a lot of small companies just leaving burns your bridge.

You can't control someones reaction or their actions.
You can't stay trapped forever in a toxic environment at the risk of hurting someones feelings.
As long as you do your best to keep things civil and aren't all :fu:
:fu:, then that's the best you can do in some situations -

Read: There was never a bridge at all. They burned it upon employing you in the first place.

I've only ever basically told an employer they could go **** themselves once, and it was a very small company here in Syracuse. The owner was lying to his clients and was a completely incompetent idiot, so has he's insulting me as I'm just packing up my stuff, I called him out on it. It was quite enjoyable...
