About my current job situation

If you are in New Zealand then you should contact a lawyer to discuss this rather than us.
Working overseas as an expat is always about constant good performance without error or issue and if you are on yearly contracts teh company is not obliged to keep rehiring you.
You should look at the effects this will have on you over what the company is expecting from you and really seek professional advice from the country that you are currently in .

Thanks for the reply,  I am currently in Indonesia. I have been a permanent employee since I hired the first time. I have Contacted ILO but no response. I contacted 2 lawyers which I found their article posted about this forced resign in the website, 1 of them has no response, the other one is actually work closely with the company I worked for so they can't help me.

So you are an Indonesian employee working for a multinational company in New Zealand or Indonesia?

Personally I feel that if a company does not want to keep me or is not happy with my work, then prospects for future promotion do not exist and I might as well move on and find another job. I'd take the compensation along with the good letter of reference. A good letter of reference is important.

I also probably wouldn't take a lawyer, which in my opinion is money down the drain, and I wouldn't want to sue a multinational company because that would take over your life and create enormous stress and not help your future job prospects since you'd never get a good letter of reference. By the way, sue them for compensation or to keep your job

Bottom line is that the company can say that your performance is lacking and rather than firing you they wanted to offer you the chance to resign.

If a company doesn't want you then it's time to move on. Don't waste their time and don't waste your own.

From my own personal experience, and I am 60 years old, it's good to change jobs or even direction, and what I've experienced is that even though you may initially go through a little hardship, you'll end up happier and probably with something better in the future as long as you have confidence in your own ability. Obviously you are unhappy in your current situation and it must be very stressful. Why hang on?

By the way, you describe this as the company forcing you to resign.

If, as the company says, your performance falls short of their requirements, then don't they have the right to terminate your contract? By offering you alternatives to better yourself on their PIP Program or to be able to resign with some compensation might be considered as going beyond what they are required to do. It may also depend on the terms and conditions of termination in your employment contract, i.e. period of notice, compensation, reason for termination etc. All this information we do not have.

I am not taking sides in this matter and obviously we are hearing just one side of the situation, but if this is a multinational company their HR department more than likely knows exactly what they are doing.

Hi,

If you are a member of a trade union, contact them to help you. If not join a trade union to support you struggling for your rights using labour laws whether they are local or international ones.
Good luck

Yours sincerely

Michel

Thanks for all the replies.

No They don't. on  my contract, termination by employer only happen when you have committed crime and/or doing drugs.

So what you seem to be saying is that the company cannot terminate your contract based on poor performance?

If you still have this situation and haven't found another job yet, and still want to fight their decision than take a lawyer. However, your legal costs might could be high and that is something you need to take into account.

My belief is still that if your employer is trying to get rid of you, move on to somewhere where your ability is appreciated.
