Is it WeWork or CoWorks/Indiqube? The Works guys are usually stricter, Indiqube is more flexible. But you can always do early termination - the idea is kitna fatka padega. I know WeWork did a 3-month penalty for early release at one place I was at. CoWorks has a one year penalty.

Has anyone dealt with Early Termination Of Contract of Office Space?- Grapevine

Hi everyone,

I want to share my experience with the company I joined on February 25, 2024.

From February 25 to July 12, I worked from home. Starting in April, they pressured me to join the offline office in Bangalore. Despite having exams, I moved to Bangalore immediately after completing them.

Upon my arrival, they initially informed me that I would continue working from home for another month due to the "off-season." After several meetings, they eventually agreed to my offline joining.

However, just six days after starting at the Bangalore office, I received a termination notice. They cited a preference for a candidate based outside of India.

I had been with the company for nearly six months and moved to Bangalore at my own expense, as they did not cover any relocation costs.

Now, I find myself nearly jobless and financially strained. If anyone knows of any openings for a data analyst or business analyst, I would be incredibly grateful for your help.

Thank you.

Termination Notice received on day 6 of joining the office.

There's an app, MY HQ where companies can get co-working spaces for their employees! If you got the access, would you like to share that with me here ? 😉 I have a good deal to do if you agree!

Have you got My HQ Co-working space access from your company?

I have been searching for jobs since last few months and initially I used to mention my notice period as 90 days. Recruiters used to treat me like minorities in this country. Then I updated it to 60 days actual still being 90 days. However, I started fetching interview calls and eventually cracked one today. The company wants me to join ASAP with an option to buyout the notice period. However, my current company is stuck to age old 90 day notice period and I don't think there's a buyout option with them.

I do have seen a case of 37 day release but need help in ways of tackling with this 90 day NP.
P.S. Deployed on client side. Have amazing working relationship with the client manager. But don't want to utilise that as I am not sure if it will turn out good or bad. As I have seen things turning hostile once you put down papers.

Any suggestions would be really helpful! Thanks.

I was working in a toxic environment, which should be a separate post, too long to explain here, tldr, I was put in pip, and then I resigned and put my notice, I like a responsible employee started finishing off my projects and tasks, giving KTs to other folks and junior. but now after this my company is saying ur lwd is 2 days from now, when in my contract notice is 2 months, HR says company has the right to waive off notice period without paying severance. What can I do currently, I don't have any job back up, so have to be unemployed for a while without any severance. Is this legally right from company sides, what possible things can I do currently?

Hi,

I am a 1.5 YOE backend Dev at an mnc. I have been laid off due to a pf overlap of 1 month. As my previous employer didn't process my resignation and put my doe of jan 23 one month after i joined my current company. I had already informed my current company at the time of joining that my previous company is processing the resignation and taking time and have not filled doe yet. They agreed to it and said they have no problem. 

Now, after 1.5 years of working in the company i suddenly got called one week ago in an hr meeting to explain about this situation. i gave them the relevant documents and our mail conversation where they said they have no problem. Yesterday i got laid off on the basis that there was a one month of overlap in my pf. 

PS: I never worked for my previous employer it was an on campus placement from clg and resigned within a month. Acc to emp in current company they are laying ppl off and hence finding reasons to do so. 


I would like to have some advice from experienced folks here. Does this put somewhat of a dent in my career, hindering my future chances. Idc about getting laid off i care more about my future. Seeing the current job market is depressing and makes me anxious. I also have an option to do Ms from us but i first want to try myself out (if that makes sense) 

Thanks

I have a 75 day notice period - how can I wiggle out of this ? This notice period limits future opportunities especially having worked in the startup space. What do you suggest I do ?

Notice periods

Product Manager

I have interviews scheduled for a sde 2 frontend role

Has anyone interviewed with WeWork India? How was it like?

I am highly annoyed by double standards and hypocritic behavior of companies while hiring for Notice period.

Almost every company wants immediate joining or asap joining and they will definitely ask or encourage you to negotiate notice period, etc.

However they themselves would not have allowed a single employee to leave early or waive off notice period.

I sometimes feel to ask them, that i am sure the employee who's replacement or position i am being hired for would have also asked to waive off notice period, did you allow him/her? If no, then why do you expect another employer would do something different.

I mean, my current employer asked me to negotiate notice period when i was leaving my previous organization, now if tomorrow i resign, i know they won't waive off a single day.

If anyone else have good experiences, answers around the same. Please do share.

Hi.

I received a termination letter from my past company. The reason was, I sent my resignation letter from home and responded only when they reached out.

I know I am at fault. Should have sent resignation from office itself. But their punishment seems very harsh. I didn't get a chance to explain myself. 

Wherever I am applying for jobs, getting turned down as I do not have experience letter and relieving letter. Having a termination letter seems to be equal to having a criminal record.

I tried requesting my ex company, but seems they have forgotten my existence, and talked in a rude manner.

Day by day I am losing confidence. Trying my hand at freelancing also, but it would be like starting from zero.

How can I repair my situation. Advice pls.

PS: Humble request to all, no trolling please. Already I am down, don't want to get out.

Really excited to do this! 

Here's a little bit about my career:

- I dropped out of college to build a design studio with 20+ people for 4 years before leaving that to start another studio.

- I’ve worked across most major startups in Bangalore (not including brand names here for anonymity)

- I’ve worked across brand identity design, UX/UI, social media marketing, ad films, animation/motion graphics, and 3D

Happy to answer questions about design, freelancing, starting an agency/studio, the design industry, etc.

Some big ones like Cred and InMobi are fairly obvious. But any smaller startups that have awesome offices?

Which early stage startups have the best offices?

Product Marketing Manager

My last company which is a early stage startup has 1 yr non compete clause in the employee agreement and which they asked us to get signed 4 months back on a very short notice to comply with investor requirements. We did it because of just compliance matter. Now I don't have good equation with them and have good offers from competitors.

Please suggest should I proceed with the offer or look for something else which doesn't fall into non compete. Please share your experiences.

3 month notice period

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Instead of terminating me immediately with 2 months' pay, can I ask them to keep me employed till max 2 months while I search for a job and if I land one, then they won't have to pay me for the full 2 months. Is such an arrangement common? My performance feedback is not good and manager is really disappointed in me. Small fintech MNC joined less than 6 months ago.

Software Test - QA

In my BGV process it was found that I was a junior DS in one of the previous orgs. In my resume I mentioned it as just DS, without the 'junior'.
The HR has informed this has come up as a red flag from the BGV company.

This is weird. Has this ever happened to anyone and will this lead to termination? If yes, do they also ask to pay back the salaries? I have already worked for 3 months here.

Hi guys, I have taken a virtual office at WeWork and now I see that Wework is filing for bankruptcy. Would that affect my membership at WeWork BKC office?

Currently as a software engineer, our company’s policy is to talk/share issues via threads on slack so that the entire team engineering can see it. I personally like to talk over a google meet if facing any doubts as it’s a very quick and effective way rather than making threads and tagging people to get answer which takes time. Manager gave a warning and said don’t talk in dm and only in public channel so others can see but I violated this law by mistake and she wants to take this to upper authority by tagging senior engineer. This can lead to my termination. I accept that I did wrong, is this an issue for escalation ?
