I need to leave my current company basically immediately because the new job start date is in two weeks and my notice period is 2 months. My current employer is being difficult about early release.
I did this at a large FMCG company two years ago. They kept my one month salary as penalty per my contract and that was the end of it. The key thing I learned: back up all your work emails, performance reviews, and any written commendations to your personal email before you resign because they will cut your access same day. Also ask your new employer if they can adjust your start date by even one week, many MNCs in Pakistan are flexible if you explain the situation honestly at the offer stage, much easier than fighting your old company.
