The post found a flood of comments with mixed suggestions. While some urged the OP to resign, others spoke against it, saying that the manager is trying to save the company from paying the breakdown.

“Don’t resign! You will not get a break in that case! A user wrote.

“Don’t resign. It’s not how the trimming or termination works. And U will not get any notice to resign, you will have to serve a lot of notice periods. Your manager is making you stupid. Don’t listen to him,” a more comment.

A third user wrote, “Do not resign. The number of leaves you can take and find the second job.

However, some users suggested against resignation.

One user wrote, “Sad to listen to your situation .. Hope you will soon get another job … I have to resign and get a break on salary .. Write an email with your personal ID in the BCC, mention the same as per the discussion that you will get 3 months payment as part of F&F as per the discussion.”

“The company is not bound to pay legally, if you resign you are not obliged to pay the money for the period. But if the company finishes you, they are obliged to do so. Your manager is trying to save the company from paying the dissected money and pays your annual bonus. Do not trust you, you will wait for you to end.”
