BGV – Dual Employment vs Absconding: Advice? Suggestions

worked at Company A (an MNC) and completed all exit formalities by Aug 15. My official last working day (LWD) was Aug 18, but I had joined Company B on Aug 4, resulting in a 2-week overlap.

Now, Company C (my current employer) found my MNC experience during BGV and is requesting the relieving/experience letter. I can obtain this within 3–4 days by clearing the FNF.

To avoid issues, which explanation is safer:

  • Acknowledging the 2-week overlap (dual employment) with reason like extended LWD as delayed asset submission?

  • Or not disclosing it directly and appearing as if I absconded with reason like relocation not possible so resigned , submitted asset and moved on?

Right. That's rather complex.

I'd go for the honest, transparent reason. If they ask, explain.

Better to just explain the real situation. I doubt it'll have too much impact on Company C in any case.

Hi,

Always better to say the true. Use chatGPT to find the right wording, but it’s better not to shy away from it.

Best,
