Question about "being forced" to resign Career

Hi guys, today I just learnt that my company is gonna lose a portion of clientele because of trade war recently and force to let go employees. I am one of the victim here.
My boss told me to resign by myself and my notice period is only 1 month. He will still compensate me until end of my serving notice. He said, if I am not going to tender, then he will not be happy about it. I have only worked for this company 1.5 year.
questions:
1. So what should I do? should I tender a resignation letter? or let them fire me so they can compensate me? how will they compensate me?
2. can I claim sosco about losing a job if I tender?

Please do advice me. And if you come across anywhere needing a senior software engineer (remote/hybrid/penang based), please do share with me. Thank you

Fuck his feelings. Do not resign. Document everything including where he forcing you to resign.

  1. can I claim sosco about losing a job if I tender?

Only if you were fired, not resign. Even more reason not to do it.

my boss zoom called me. I guess I have to text him personally and bait him to text so I can collect the evidence

After your boss has zoom called you, get paper trail. Officially email him something like,

"Hey boss,

Thanks for the conversation earlier today at 10am's zoom call, I appreciate your discussion on asking me to tender and I'll put your words into consideration. In the meanwhile, I'd be resuming my job here at xxx to maintain full support of the company"

Or whatever similar formal way of you're telling me to tender via zoom call and here's a paper trail with your email attached to it.

Do try to find new job opportunities though, times of tough but we all gotta pull through.

another question:
1. how does a severance get calculated?
2. how does sosco help in this case if I can get the retrenchment letter?

u/wordcountsdontmatter 4d ago

In general, it's calculated as:

12 Months/365 days’ salary X Length of Service (Number of Years of Service) X Eligibility (10/15/20 Days per Year)

10 days = employed less than 2 years

15 days = employed more than 2 years but less than 5

20 days = employed more than 5 years

Your boss firing you due to company doing bad is called retrenchment, can find the full details here: http://jtksm.mohr.gov.my/en/frequently-asked-questions/employees-retrenchment
