Hi everyone

I’m serving my notice period at Infosys and have already completed one month. I have an offer with an August joining date, but my manager is refusing to release me early and is ignoring my requests. I’m not sure what to do. Has anyone faced this situation? Any advice would be appreciated.

You should have a mutual agreement beforehand while applying & accepting anything less than 90 days NP.

If there was none & you went ahead & committed another company an early joining, which by every means is unjustifiable- you can speak to your manager & make him understand your situation or you can explain the HR in new compnay to extend your joining till NP letting them know that your KT session has been extendend. They may ask for a written mail or letter though.

Unless you're sure to a certain extent that you'll get early release/ buyback opportunity from your current company based on say previous insatances or say confirmation from Mangement, commitment of anything less than NP would become a problem.

What you can say to the newer HR is that Officially it is 90 Days, I would be able to do some discussions to lessen it.

like

Discuss with your manager patiently and mutually and ask him that, I will provide and all work related things early.
You can extend 10 to 15 days your joining date. But do this before 8 to 10 days prior joining date.
Mostly company will extend the joining date.

like

Ask for recovery np, if you abscond sometime it will create problem in future for verification and documents.

Abscond bro... Go and just keep the laptop on there desk and put a message on teams and run if manager is not agreeing for the early release or ask for buy out.

Been there! Faced the exact same situation in my first job.

Honestly, having a clear agreement beforehand helps, but it’s really not a dealbreaker. My advice is to have a candid, polite chat with your manager and explain how a 90-day notice period was choking your opportunities in the job market.

They might pull the "you agreed to this when joining" card, but let’s be real.. nobody pays attention to that clause on Day 1. Just give them confidence that you will complete all your work and KT ahead of time (it’s totally doable, trust me), and you’ll likely find a middle ground.

In my case, after a good discussion, my manager agreed to release me in 2 months and 1 week. I then told HR at my new company that project handover was taking slightly longer than expected (since I had initially communicated 2 months), and they completely understood and issued an updated offer letter. Just stay professional and communicate clearly.. it usually works out fine!

Hi Guys,

After my HR round today, Hr called up and said that will move forward with the offer but approvals with higher management might take some time as there is a hiring freeze.
Do you think offer will be released? And how much time these approvals take ?

She mentioned at the end that they are definitely going to offer as all feedbacks are positive.
But it all depends on the approvals.
