I know one company that had a bit of a difference. They don't put the line "We wish him the best for his/her future endeavors" in the experience letter of terminated employees, but do put that line in letters of resignation cases.    
    
 Basically as a passive-aggressive way to signal that they weren't happy with the employee to their future employers. Seems a bit petty to me though. 🫤

Why don’t you active aggressively name the company?

Companies avoid terminating as there is a list of compliance they need to follow in case of  termination. That is the only reason they ask employees to resign even after PIP. If you are still worried, resign on the last day of PIP.

Apart from the psychological effect, there is no difference in the long term. You just need to handle the "why are you leaving" question in the next interview and hope nothing comes up in the background verification.

Basically the title. If the company terminates the offer, vs if I resign on my own. How do the letters different usually.

Asked to resign. What are all options do I have?

Hey folks!

🌐 Joined X out of necessity. KT for 1-2 days, then POC and client tickets.

🔒 Credentials revoked, told client issues. New guy in team, no intro, he got my creds.

📊 Reporting shifted to HR, no work assigned, sensed possible layoff.

🚫 No communication, red flag, forced office visit despite injury.

💰 Salary received, PF deducted, no passbook data, doubtful deposit.

🔄 Y offered better opportunity, hid X on resume, got and accepted offer.

❓ Should I have told Y about X? Concerned:
1. Tell now, they may understand or revoke.
2. Keep quiet, can they find out later via background check?

🤷‍♂️ Policies differ, but it's about people, not policies—understand or do shit.

Hey All,

I’m going to have meeting with HR regarding  PIP next week. There I need to take decision whether I have to resign and take 4 months pay or whether I have to go with PIP plan and perform certain tasks for 2 months what they will decide and evaluate.
I’m a bit confused what option should I need to opt.
I’m looking for jobs but didn’t receive any calls till now but I’m actively applying.

From many people I’ve heard that in PIP they are giving hard to achieve tasks and pressurising to resign else if got fail in PIP, they will terminate and will give termination letter instead of relieving letter.
What option should I opt , considering all the possibilities and current market situation?

P.S - I have 2 YOE in front end development 

Suggestions from experience would be highly appreciated and can help me.

Do we receive relieving letter and experience certificate both from Genpact or both are same?

Relieving letter

Process Associate

So Flipkart will be doing performance based layoffs. I have been placed on PIP. How should I proceed considering I don't have any other offers and not much experience either.

1. Resign immediately.
2. Do the PIP completely and then see if I pass or not?
I am not in a good financial position currently.

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.

Termination blues

Frontend Engineer

Recently I was put into PIP, I have been given one month time to meet the targets. In case things go south, and I'm asked to leave, will my relieving letter mention that my exit was due to non performance in PIP?

If yes, then should I put a resignation to avoid this?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Housing.com (REA India) ranked 3rd in the GPTW survey this year. They provide several awesome perks like, laying off without any notice, fucking their reviews just so that they could justify the lay offs, and threatening actions if anything came out on social media. 

10-15% of the whole tech team was laid off (mostly freshers) apparently on the basis of low performance.  It was all carried out by the higher management, not even the managers had any clue about the lay off happening. 

The performance rating was rigged by the higher management who had no interaction with the tech people. They had this awesome idea of getting reviewed by people who we had never interacted with. Managers were merely bystanders who had no say in the performance review whatsoever. 


PS: A note for the management -->
Housing.com would be an employee friendly company only if you guys would give two fucks about employees, instead of Caring so much about the GPTW ranking like conducting hands on sessions and literally forcing people to put in good rating.

The rigged performance rating and the secrecy is so true. I got to know about my colleague getting fired when I opened his slack which was deactivated. Upon calling, he said it was all done in 5 mins, Forceful resignation, No Severance and was asked to post nothing on social media.  
  
 From my team alone 2 people have been laid off both freshers.

What to do if company is asking me to resign?

Hey Grapeviners,
Need a professional help. 
So yesterday my HR reached out to me saying they want me to discontinue the job immediately because they are focusing on cost cutting. While they are hiring team of interns to do the task and eliminating full time employees.


I want to know what are the options available to me as they are not giving any notice to terminate the job while it has written in employment letter that any one of us has to give 30 days notice in written or if I don’t give notice then I have to pay 3 months salary.

Based on the agreement can I ask severance package if they immediately discontinue? What will be the better payment to ask in this scenario? What will be the pros and cons in this situation and how to proceed further?

To me it seems better to let them fire you, and enjoy the severance pay. But what are the disadvantages of doing this? Why do so many people voluntarily resign?

Is it better for an SDE to get terminated or resign in the Indian market?

My employment was terminated last month from the organization’s side but they have put things like “his performance was average” & “he left the organization in his own accord” in the relieving cum experience letter. 

I am not much worried about the performance part because I have good experience letters from my past organizations and believe would be the same in case of reference checks.  Should I be worried about these?

Any suggestions on how to move forward with future applications would be helpful.
