you dont need such experience because there really arent many managers with good leadership, if there are any at all.
Most of the managers have a very low eq.

Originally posted by ButterCake:ok here goes, i worked in this company for 3 days. I decided to resign immed. So i emailed the HR manager.
A few days later then they replied. They say i have to pay 1 month salary in lieu as i did not serve one month.
Now, i look at my employment contract. The termination clause only states notice not less than one month before intended last day.
Full stop. It did not state penalty, must pay in lieu etc like other common employment letter.
So i am safe right?
Like what you stated in the termination clause. Notice not less than one month before the intended last day. This clause is uncomplete. My advice, forget about the 3 days salary & just go.
For 1 month's salary, I don't think that they will want to spend the expenses to hire a legal representative to file for small claim or to hire debt collectors to recover the penalty. It is not cost effective for the company. Unless you're a senior exec with 4-5k of salary.
If a company has a legal department, what do you think it's job scope is? I think it will be like... spending 3 minutes to prepare the legal documents in a routine "never serve one month notice" case, than have coffee all day.
Than another 2 minutes to take legal actions if never comply with the demand on another day.
Than maybe 10 minutes in the court to wait for the judge to rule the case in the company's favor, if it reaches that stage.

the only ones who have legal dept are those big co or MNC's. banks all have legal dept, as do developers and companies like Apple, Ms, Capitaland etc.

Even if the company do not have legal department, the company can go to small claims court to file lawsuit.
They do not need lawyers in small claims court and it only cost $50 or less to file a case at small claims so even if the company lose which is unlikely they only lose $50.
