Hi everyone, I was hired for a senior role in a big MNC in India and started working on the 24th of January. I do not have any probationary period mentioned in my appointment letter. It’s been almost 3 months now, and I am not enjoying the work. The work is not challenging enough and I am mostly watching reels on my phone! I don’t see any growth in this role. What I was told during the interview and what was mentioned on the JD does not align with the work I am asked to do.

I have received a better offer from my previous employer (non Indian company, remote offer). I LOVE the work there and the only reason I left was to be in India, closer to my family. The only problem is that they want me to join ASAP.

I understand that I need to serve a 3 month notice period or pay them the 3 months salary in lieu instead. Is there any way I can avoid doing either? I cannot abscond as I have 2 company laptops in my possession. I don’t need any experience letter from this company.

What most people do in this kind of scenario is create a story about how you have to go to some place ( other city) regarding some relative health issue or marriage or land dispute and won’t be able to serve the notice period, considering that you are watching reels and don’t do anything which company relies on heavily for the work. They should buy your story
