Uncomfortable with workload. Any liabilities upon resigning?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I am currently on a company visa, which began last October 2023. However, with the recent management change, I am uncomfortable with my workload. I am handling the responsibilities of three positions but receiving a low salary. Moreover, 80% of my colleagues, including management, are Russian speakers, while I am not. Many of my colleagues have minimal workloads but higher salaries. I feel exploited, discriminated against, and undervalued. If I decide to resign, are there any liabilities I need to settle with the company? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
