My company is threatening me

So it's that time of the year when variable payouts are being processed. Everyone’s excited, checking their bank accounts. I get the email from HR - "Your annual bonus is..." I open it It’s enough to buy me a nice lunch I go to my boss and ask him about it He says "We had a tough year, need to tighten our belts" I look at his belt - it’s designer Meanwhile, I’m tightening mine to skip meals. I said "Thanks" and left. He says "Keep up the good work" I leave the meeting room and start Googling jobs - CONFESSED NO ONE

It's gonna be long thread. I have been working as lead engineer in a early stage startup since last one year. Founder (20 years exp in Product Management) raised some money from friends & family to start it and but company was running negative from February and he put his money to pay employees salary for March & April and We were hoping for some investment in April but that didn't happen. During May & June, he was looking for funding more aggressively and even after having a good background in academics & top tech work experience in product management, no investor got convinced to invest in it. Our salary for March & April was delayed from actual payroll date by 7 days and 21 days respectively and We were expecting our May salary to be delayed by same period and our company was about to complete one year in first week of July so we had some one year benefits associated as well. But Boom, he invited everyone on call and tells that company will shutting it's operation from next day itself. And he will help us find our new jobs and he doesn't any clarity on pending salary. Although we knew, our company is not in good shape so salary cut or something might be happening soon but didn't expect this. Now, we have to find other jobs and also be unemployed while searching for job and also get exploited by other companies because we will be desperate to find jobs to pay our bills. I think, he did this just before 5-6 days of our one year anniversary just because he doesn't get legally bound to pay our one year benefits. I for sure, not gonna join any early stage in future who doesn't have enough funding. Just wanted to put this story out of my mind. Open for any suggestions you have for me Thank you

I work for a fairly popular and large Indian startup and I'm at a considerably senior position. As seen recently also with a lot of startups, my company is creating hurdles in my exit. I've resigned from the company but the company has a policy that allows them to accept or reject resignations at will. They are not accepting my resignation and are threatening me with frivolous law suits. I'm scared and not sure about how true their threats are. Can someone please give references of good lawyers experienced in HR practices, service and employment cases etc.? Will be grateful.

Previously I worked in Persistent Systems for 2 years. Recently my hr called me to share the screen and resign. They have given me 7 days time to submit laptop and all the assets, leave the company. I just want to understand can't we do anything if they asked to do force resign. Because I have been in this company for 2 years, past 6 months they started doing this for atleast 40 employees per month only from my branch Hyderabad . Now it has become per week because they don't have projects and lot of projects are going to end in few months and already few projects moved out because when I spoked with senior in the company they are saying projects signed for 5 year's contract has now not interested to move. I asked why because of internal company politics, favouritism, fake and backdoor employees, over commitment due to these projects are not delivered in given deadline. How employees Will look for another oppurtunity in 7 days, also in my case when said to my recruiter that I am laid off they didn't schedule interview call then I changed my plan started saying them that I am having offer of A from x company going to join in next 15 days, then they shared scheduling interview. Won't there be any legal action we can take on employer as an employee in this cases.

So, I've been struggling mentally from this company for the past few months due to their toxic policies and resigned last week! They didn't pay the retention bonus that was supposed to be paid in June stating the financial situation and now forcing me to complete the notice period also!(2 months) which is there in the contract but mentally I'm burnt out and have said the same to CTO as well as HR but they don't want to understand! I'm also unsure whether the salary of these notice period months will come( this company has a history of not paying) so, skeptikal in the serving notice period knowing I won't get any money. I want to have a lawyer who can go through my employment contract so I understand better the options I have with me! Any help is greatly appreciated please!!🥺

Infosys has terminated me last month (May) and gave me salary for May but didn't give any severance pay and I have their asset (laptop & ID) with me so what should I do? Should I use ut as leverage or just give them?

Hello Grapevine fam, I want to share my story and get everyone's suggestions on how to proceed. I have been working with this startup for more than two years. Recently, my manager and HR head called me for a meeting and said I wasn't living up to their expectations and they wanted me to resign. In the same discussion they said, the company would be paying 2 months salary as severance pay and my LWD would be in June since the notice period here is 2 months and this would help me in my job hunt. So having faith in this company, I resigned. Right after that my manager and the HR head is not legally acknowledging the two months of my salary as severance pay. And the very same day, they sent me the experience letter which had the same day as my last working day, despite them mentioning my LWD would be in June. How do I proceed now? I have given my best to the company in the last two years. But things turned out this way, very dejected and disappointed with the startup.

Company Forcing Me To Serve 90 Days Of Notice Period. Hello, I work in an IT service company in Pune, Maharashtra which I joined on 1st Nov 2021. In my offer letter notice period is mentioned as 60 days. 1 month after joining the company, management decided to change the notice period to 90 days as a company policy for each employee. But during that, they asked for our consent which I did not give. I have it in an email as well from an HR help desk that I'll have to serve 60 days of the notice period. But still, when I want to resign they're asking me to serve 90 days of the notice period. I talked to HR about this and they said each employee was contacted personally by HR and was given an option either agree to the policy change or resign within a week. Now the problem is there is written communication about this in my inbox from my HR or even an informal message on a company messaging application. I want to know if it's legal and if can they force me to do it even if my offer letter says 60 days of the notice period.

I have resigned recently and got an offer now but the company wants me to join in 30 days. How should I approach this conversation with my manager? Can managers really help you reduce the notice period if they want to or not?
