Trending @Accenture; HR not Responding after my resignation
I have resigned on 18th January, 2026. After that I wanted early release (original Lwd April 18 -> April 1, yes just 17 days).
After the helpful info from Accenture people at GrapeVine, I got to know that HR will say "NO", if I ask him directly. So, taking there suggestions, I got "Yes, No Problem from Our Side, No Impact" from both DU (SM) and my Manager.
Now having received these ✅, I emailed to my HR looping both DU and my manager and requested him for early release and my Lwd to be April 1.
Initially he responded (after multiple nudges even with DU lead in loop), and asked me for Consent for Buyout and Something called "Admission Letter".
I replied him and gave him my consent (to Buyout remaining days after subtracting my Earned leaves), and asked clarification about "Admission Letter" he asked.
From then, there is no reply. I nudge him in email & teams once/twice weekly but still no reply.
What can I do?
Do not escalate before 1 week.
They do this no reply behaviour when they don't have a valid response towards you,
If they do not respond after that send a reminder mail and start adding their skip levels to the email
I hope you have proof of saying early release possible, this will help you to mark your exit early
@TheOracle, @LuxuriousMailer, @investigator007 I would really appreciate any guidance on this? Should I escalate or anything I should be doing?
Early release is not something that the HRPA controls. It's purely a function of the business leads (in this case your SM or DU Lead). If your SM or DU Lead are okay to release you early, talk to your Exit manager and get clarity on the steps to be relieved early. Don't talk to your HRPA. Talk to your Exit manager. They will guide you since it's in their KPI to make sure that the exits are processed correctly and per the process.
Now coming to the point around convincing folks. I believe since your SM has already agreed, you don't need to do much but in case you need to, you can always make a case that the more days you stay, the more the cost to the project. Since you are leaving, they would already have planned for a replacement and you would be required to give KT to the person. This means, for the time you are on the project, they are taking costs for one extra person. So it is in their interests too to relieve you early if there is truly no dependency on you. Being a delivery lead myself, I have approved early exits of many of my employees without any issues.
Hope this helps.
