Should I resign without an offer? Abusive manager.
Hello,
I am thinking of resigning from my current compnay without an offer in hand. In this month's review, my dotted line manager and business head really lost his cool on me and rudely shouted for small mistakes while he himself was wrong on two things he pointed out. He also mentioned that he thought of calling me at night and hurl mother.sister abuses at me because of those.
I and my team have been working so much to accomodate everything he has been piling on us for multiple businesses and forget about thanks we are being threatened and abused here.
We have 3 months of notice period so I will have some time to find a new one. I will manage even after those 3 and continue the search. But i feel totally disconnected with the compnay and don't think it will be productive for me to stay.

Definitely, will write them one they wished would just go away.
Nowadays companies can pay a little extra premium and get the reviews removed.
Do it. 3 months notice period is sufficient to get another job
Never resign without a job offer .. people who are giving gyaan about self respect etc would never do it if they would have been at you place..
Everyone is thinking you get 3 months of notice but thats a mistake.. if they are not happy with you, you Will be instantly released or may be in few days .. so its always better to have 1 job offer in hand rather than sitting jobless in current market..
FYI, I have seen people doing it in my close circle and its a terrible situation to be in.. Don’t think that everything will work according to you..
I think there is another option... Get yourself a medical certificate and go for loa instead of resigning... Your leaves will be utilised completely and then the rest would be leave without pay... When you find something suitable resign or come back to a new project since they will not wait for you after 1 month to continue on the same one....
Hi there, I have the same query on medical certificate, actually if we really have some medical issue, then can we take as much LOP leaves as per we need or will the HR only will say how many days of LOP will be given and we need to take only those no. Of days?
No... The medical certificate can provide a subjective time....or you can give a subjective time and during loa ending time you will need to confirm your date of comeback .... Means if you are ready otherwise you can extend the same...
Go ahead and resign. It's time like these we need to take a leap of faith.
How will resigning help if you'll be working for 3 months anyway. Start looking for a job nonetheless. And guarantee the recruiter that you'll buy out yourself.
These guys are the worst. They never allow anyone to leave early. Though, I will definitely mention the buyout part.
At this point, I will try to complete the notice somehow.
How to guarantee the recruiter that I will be buyingout some time from current organisation?
Believe in yourself and resign. Give everything in writing to the HR in your exit interview. The job market is good and you will definitely get a much better job
It's 2025 and people still believe reporting manager to HR in writing does something in exit interview. Does HR work for him or the company paying their salaries ?
Depends on the type of company you are working. I have seen actions being taken against the manager by the HR. And again I gave my opinion. Not necessary that what you think should align with everyone
Do it only if you think you can survive ay least 5-6 months without pay, either by support from your savings, your family or through a side hustle (like part time or freelance)
Been there, done that. At times, it becomes very difficult to justify your decision when (really hope you have something permanent set up ASAP) you don't have sth semi-permanent that cannot sustain your everything (costs, expectations & savings)
If you have an offer in hand, quit happily. Use the notice (or a part of it) to search for another job. I wouldn't say shop for offers, but having more than one is always better.
All the best for whatever you do! You'll know the best about what you want to do, no matter what your bad boss, us folx at Grapevine or anyone else tells you or does to you.
Godspeed!
i have resigned 2 times without any offer in my career and found my decision was good.
