Stuck into the startup hell
When I was in 7th semester i joined as early-stage IIID startup, they said they will hire me as a full-time employee after the 5 month, after the 5 month I am asking for my full time, they said at this stage we can afford a full time employee we will surely hire you after the 3 month, and now 3 month completed and I am asking for my full time they said we will releases your full time offer letter you can join as a full time after your clg, after some arguments i said okay bcz i have just 2 month left in my btech so I said send me the offer letter and they was like ya just sending tomorrow, sending..and sending I asked the offer letter 4-5 times and he did not send said just sending stuck into the problem, now what I do I am just thinking i can definitely crack another offer letter in 1 month , but i have to start from scratch as a intern thats the problem, but I am thinking I will delete all the database all the code and everything which I can bcz I have admin access of everything cloud , GitHub so i am gonna to do it in next 2 days but I am stuck into that by what I am getting nothing but fir bhi Krna toh padega vrna yad kese rkhega ..........

If you delete anything, that might end up filing a case against you by the company. That might make you pay some compensation to the company. Since when you signed the docs while joining the company as an intern it would present in the terms and conditions. Don't do that and spoil your IT career.

Man just do it. Would be fun since you haven't signed anything
Well honestly if you actually delete anything... you dont deserve offer letter anywhere...
Just take a chill... move on to somewhere else...har jagah badla lena jaruri nahi...

Okay thank you so much for your advice
I'd say refrain from deleting data or anything of that sort, follow proper means.
You've mentioned that it's an IITD startup. Best would be to notify the Director of IIT Delhi. You can find his email ID on their website. Attach whatever proof you might have (in case you had this conversation with the Startup folks via email or any other written means).

Yes I have all the conversation (in WhatsApp chat) , I will do that!!
Yes this is actually a very good suggestion, you can bring it up to the notice of IITD officials and looping in that company guys in email. Before doing that, ask some IITD guys about email IDs of all the relevant folks, like placement cell guys, Incubator cell head, department heads etc. And send a mail to everyone, and keeping that corporate guy too in loop.
Email should be very polite but at the same time very clearly highlighting the bad name it brings to IIT Delhi.

First thing remember your still in college and without a proper degree you cannot expect offer letter, every team has its own limitations to get FTE and has to fulfill certain criteria like education qualification. Finish your college, and if they give offer letter continue there or else take experience letter for internship and apply for full time job outside.
Don’t ever do anything so stupid as to delete any company database or documents. That will out a black mark on your profile and no1 will hire you ever again.

I totally agree with you , but why they are giving me hope , i literally said between the internship if there is no offer letter than tell me but they said ya ya definately we will hire as a very competative salary ..
@BrightSilo9 College degree has nothing to do with it People start working full time from 3-4 year in startups, OP's startup clearly don't want to hire full time for obvious reasons when they can hire some intern at penny salary that's why created too much drama

Think clearly. What you are thinking is naive.
You should ask your manager to tell honestly the reason of the delay and tell you that if they might not be able to give you an offer, they should clarify.
In fact, if they cannot offer, you can request them to put a recommendation to you on LinkedIn or refer you to their friends or investors to help find jobs.
Few years down the line, you would not even remember about this financial loss. And maybe this recommendation can put you in much better spot.

Okay i will talk to them one more time clearly, thank you bhaiya for your advice.
Change passwords or create access blocks. Give them enough headache that releasing an offer letter is easier than trying to fix it themselves.
Keep those intrusive and destructive thoughts to your mind only. It's not worth doing what you said in the real world.

Don't waste time and start interviewing. If you really want to stay at this startup then once you get an offer letter tell them you already have an offer letter in hand, if they want you here then they should give a full time employee position or you'll leave.
Knowing you don't have any leverage they can keep on delaying your offer letter as you won't go anywhere else.
And don't delete anything, it'll harm your reputation and can bring criminal charges.
It is bad, it is wrong, but it is what most organisations do- giving false hopes to innocent students vying to make their space in the IT career. My two cents, don’t waste time into negativities, it will just cause more tensions and worries for you, invest this energy elsewhere. Also, everything has backup, so even if you delete, it would be able to be recovered with some trouble. Just move on, may be later on after getting another offer letter, you can write a detailed feedback/review on glassdoor/linkedin etc

Make sense!! But I have just 2 month left in my graduation and at this time i have to start thing from scratch
Can’t do much unfortunately, many folks passed out in 2022-23 are still jobless, not that it makes your pain any less. But may be that’s why average students who care about jobs and are risk-averse, should stay away such new age startups and smaller organisations.
Best wishes.

It's typing mistake, IIT Delhi
I guess you can delete it anonymously right? The code base. Cause they have been deceiving you. But I'm not sure if there will be any legal implications

Bhai mujhe sukoon milega, meri dimag ka dahi kr diya bs 2 month bache h me crack bhi kr lunga easily dusri company but rakhenge to intern hi na starting me too much hectic to kuch to kru use reliase bhi to hona chahiye next time ke liye!!
Bro trust me, me and my colleagues also faced similar situations in terms of pay release in startups. I actually ended up doing such a thing, not deleted anything but reported non compliances to the tax authorities, as I am in accounts deptt. Though it’s not the best thing to do, but if you don’t do it you will keep thinking why didn’t you do it. Plus the harassment these startups do to fresh hires, everybody turns a blind eye due to demand and supply gap in jobs in India. You won’t get caught since they legally can’t enforce anything without any contract. Plus all the mental pain you went though, who is responsible for that? Teach them a lesson.

Since you worked so long at a company, you should have a working knowledge of all tech required. Use that and land better offers

If that's the deal you get, give an interview and take another company (based on intern pay, company's background etc.,)

If you have worked on frontend just set a timer function which reduce opacity a little each day, Target for 2 weeks at the end their app will look empty. Offcourse they will figure out, but you may have some satisfaction.
Deleting thing is not a good thing.
