After being fired, the employee was under stress, but the situation worsened when he was required to serve a notice period. Furthermore, pressure began to be exerted on him to come into the office. The employee questioned the necessity of his physical presence since his main task at the moment is training other employees.
The discussion between the employee and the company's HR was published by him on Reddit. In his post, the employee stated that he was offered to serve a notice period after being dismissed, but he does not wish to attend the office. He contacted the company's HR department.
In response to the employee's request for the possibility of working remotely (WFH) until the last working day, HR refused. The employee objected to this decision, noting that he is already in the notice period, and his sole obligation is knowledge transfer (KT). In his opinion, physical presence in the office is not required in this situation.
When the employee shared this correspondence on Reddit, users began actively discussing issues related to the workplace and the notice period. Some commentators questioned why an employee should be required to serve a notice period after dismissal. Other users advised the employee to discuss the situation with HR again, while some asserted that they had never seen anyone complete a notice period after being fired.
