Trending news: Employee Resign After First Salary: A post by an Indian HR professional on LinkedIn has sparked a heated debate on social media. The post states that a new employee resigned just five minutes after receiving his first salary. Giving information about the incident, HR wrote that the salary was credited to the employee’s account at 10:00 am and the company received his resignation mail at exactly 10:05 am.
HR raised questions on ethics
Let us tell you that in the post, HR described this entire matter as an example of “lack of professional ethics”. He wrote that the company gave this person full time and resources to train him, made him a part of the team and gave him a platform for growth, but the employee left the company as soon as he received his first salary. He raised the question, was this really appropriate? Can this be called a professional attitude?
He could have talked, why did he run away?
The post further stated that if the employee was not satisfied with something, he could have spoken openly, sought guidance or tried to find a solution. But resigning suddenly shows that he only used the situation for his own benefit. According to HR, success in a job does not come just from the first salary, but it requires patience and hard work.
People’s views on social media
After this post went viral, social media was divided into two groups. Some users supported HR and said that new employees should fulfill their professional responsibilities. At the same time, many others took the side of the employee. One user wrote, “Salary is not a donation, it is payment for previous work. If the person resigned, it means that he fulfilled his responsibility.”
Loyalty will be gained only when companies respect you
Many users also argued that when companies themselves fire employees without prior notice, no one questions it. One user wrote, “If a company fires you in the middle of the month, is that ethical? When companies find it convenient, they fire employees, so employees should also have the right to their convenience.”
