I am highly annoyed by double standards and hypocritic behavior of companies while hiring for Notice period.
Almost every company wants immediate joining or asap joining and they will definitely ask or encourage you to negotiate notice period, etc.
However they themselves would not have allowed a single employee to leave early or waive off notice period.
I sometimes feel to ask them, that i am sure the employee who's replacement or position i am being hired for would have also asked to waive off notice period, did you allow him/her? If no, then why do you expect another employer would do something different.
I mean, my current employer asked me to negotiate notice period when i was leaving my previous organization, now if tomorrow i resign, i know they won't waive off a single day.
If anyone else have good experiences, answers around the same. Please do share.
I had a 3 month notice period, with buy back option. But when i knew they also had a 3 month notice period but without buyback option, I flat out refused to join early and said, i will complete the full notice period and only then join.
They canceled my offer.
Which company was this?
From then on, i made it a hobby to appear for interviews get selected and not turn up on the joining date or some times even indulge in last minute salary negotiations.
Sometimes if you have a good rapport with the organization (or even if you don't), they'll let you skip notice period so you can join new company faster. Not everyone is hard and fast on notice period serving, can be negotiated on all ends.
I want this optimism, however i am working in investment banking and financial services industry and have several friends and colleagues. In my career of 7 yrs, i have never heard or seen a single exception by any of the top IBs or financial service MNC.
Maybe finance is stricter, idk. I've been into marketing and content for various sectors except finance in the last 10 years, never really had a problem with notice period.
Worst part is when service based companies put you on bench but still won't relieve you early. What even is the fucking logic behind that?
All u need everytime is a medical reasoning with a doctor's prescription and a personal reason with which u cant work anywhere anymore to get relieved from an organization.
Else these corps dont buy anything else!
U have to make them feel to the core that ur reason is genuine and cant work and show them that u really need their job and love it and want to continue.
Zor zor se bol kar scheme batadi 😀
it all depends on how disposable you are, the more disposable the shorter the notice period. Apart from few companies where they have a strict process around mandatory notice period. Rest will just relieve you. Anyways you are leaving, if the person is not valuable enough they will simply let the person go as soon as possible and cut down on the losses by relieving and not paying for 3 months of salary, when they know anyways the person is not going to do anything.
In case of roles where there is a lot of KT involved and you are one important person, they would want you to be till the end of notice period. If they manage to hire a replacement, that person can at least have some idea and knowledge from KT to start with and not start in blind.
