Employee harassed during notice period after resignation at top MNC.

An employee at a well-known multinational company (MNC) has shared concerns on Reddit of facing harassment during their notice period after submitting a resignation. According to the employee, the departure of senior colleagues over the past year has left them as the only critical resource handling key processes. Originally, the team had 13 members, six junior-experienced and five senior-experienced employees, but multiple resignations and organizational releases over time reduced the workforce significantly.

Resignation and Counteroffer Trigger Leadership Backlash

The situation reportedly escalated after the employee asked for a 40% hike during a counteroffer discussion, which they stressed was prompted by the company and not a random demand. The employee claims that leadership’s ego was hurt, resulting in open disrespect and overburdening during the notice period.

“Instead of letting me serve notice peacefully, they’re behaving as if I committed some crime by resigning at the ‘wrong time’,” the employee said. They described being pulled into redundant meetings, receiving warning letters for minor issues, and being blamed for matters beyond their control.

Navigating the Final Days of Notice Period

The employee, who is now serving a 30-day notice, is questioning whether to escalate the harassment to higher authorities or to quietly complete the notice and exit. The new leadership — including a recently assigned team lead and manager — reportedly lacks familiarity with the ongoing processes, adding to the stress of managing critical operations alone.
