My TKMaxx manager wants me to resign?
Hi everyone,
I'm a bit confused about my situation and would appreciate some advice.
I have a fixed-term employment contract that ends on July 15, 2026. My employer wants to extend my contract, but I don't want to because I've got a better job starting in a few months.
The confusing part is that HR told me I need to submit a resignation letter. I don't understand why, because I thought a fixed-term contract automatically ends on the agreed date if I simply don't sign the extension.
Is there any reason why HR would ask me to resign instead of just letting the contract expire? Do I actually have to submit a resignation, or can I simply decline the extension and let the contract end on its own?
Has anyone experienced something similar? Btw everything is happening in Germany Thanks!
