“Can my boss refuse to let me resign? How should I leave this toxic work environment?” she cried out for help and advice
“My boss refuses to let me resign” — Employee frustrated as her boss won’t accept her resignation despite being bullied by coworkers
Rather than creating a closer bond, her coworker used this personal information to undermine her in front of everyone. “Gradually, the rest of the office joined in. They would cough when my name was mentioned and make frowny faces. They openly showed their contempt by slamming a magazine in front of her, glaring at her, and distracting her by “copying her mouse clicks and banging their mice.”
Unfortunately, even this decision was met with resistance. Her boss refused to accept her resignation, insisting that “she needed to learn to stand up for herself” instead of leaving. In the discussion thread, Singaporean Redditors reassured her that no company in Singapore is allowed to refuse a resignation letter. One Redditor even cited a passage from the Ministry of Manpower’s website in the comments section, writing:
If your contract does not stipulate the notice period, then it’d be according to the MOM guidelines. If your employer refuses to pay you your final salary within seven days of your last day of service, report to MOM.”Foreigner asks how Singaporean work culture came to be; very last minute, working overtime, unrealistic deadlines
