On a lighter note ! 😝

Hi All,
I joined Tech Mahindra for 5 days only and didn't find suitable timing for my project and emailed resignation mail to manager and HR. After that HR asked me to resign over portal but at the same time blocked my portal. After requesting many times they didn't unblock my portal and pretended like they want to unblock but there is some issue going on and marked my profile absconded. I have cleared fnf but they are not providing reliving letter but added pf amount also. What to do?

Welcome to Job Search 2025 where those of us that want to work are at the mercy of those who do not want to work and do their jobs properly.
Yesssssss! Especially when they say they will
We all have experienced the new norm of ghosting from time to time. There are times when they do not even get the resume / application as their AI and/or ATS program stops it for certain keywords not being found, some people are afraid to give bad news, some do not care about their jobs, and some just do not know how to communicate with others. I have had my share of ghosting either completely or after a phone screen or interview although I have also had some recruiters / hiring managers send me the generic rejection emails.

It might depend on the volume of people they need to contact, or the person who should be doing it just doesn't like the awkward conversation, or a number of other reasons. I hate it though. I once went through 8 interviews just to be ghosted. Because of that, I make it a point to let every person I've interviewed know if they didn't get the job. Preferably by email though, because I hate that conversation.
Yes I find "ghosting" common too. I've been looking for work for well over a year now. I didnt realise it a year ago, but there was an issue with my application. Only hardly anyone had the sense to tell me. I had to piece it all together bit by bit. When I say bit by bit, it took me 9 months to realise what the issue was. Because feedback was sparce.
Then when I had a smell of what was wrong, my so called advisors wouldnt buy what I was saying, when I asked for help on addressing what was wrong. It then took me another 3 or 4 months to get an application that actually works. And I had to do half the work myself.
Now it's fixed, I'm getting the interviews again. And my initial problems seem to be solved.
