So I made the decision to resign from my company recently and officially gave my notice (退職届) to my employer. In my letter, I stated that my last day in the company would be October 18th.
I’ve decided to move back to my home country next month, so I gave my employer about a 6 week notice. (I know, it’s a bit much, but apparently according to my contract, they want 2 months notice.) However, suddenly they have informed me that after my resignation, they are planning to restructure my position, and my current position will no longer exist, so there will not be so much to hand over. They want to adjust my resignation to September 20th, almost a month sooner than the date that I wrote.
Can they do this? Since I am a Seishain full time employee, isn’t deciding my resignation date my own right?
We have not had an official handover meeting, but I am feeling so lost and am not sure how to handle this situation. Is there any way I can have the upper hand in the situation?
I also want to mention that I still have 5 paid days left to use, so I believe these should also be factored in to my resignation.
