You all know it’s not “HR” who takes these decisions at any company. Lay the blame where is it deserved - the owners and founders and management and c-suite etc. it’s funny to even think any “HR” has this kind of power.

HRs are supposed to stop owners from doing what's wrong or let them do it themselves. Not just be a yes person. Sharing the screen and asking to resign opens up to you a lot of legal liabilities if you're recorded. It's good for such violators that India has no justice system otherwise half of them would have a legal case against them.

the purpose of HR is to protect the company not the employees

Sad but true.  
  
 It’s easy to think a company can survive without HR but I differ in that opinion. Have burnt myself really bad going with this assumption and I could never think of doing what they do. One of the first teams or people I would hire is HR and then finance. Very very important roles for a company and just cannot imagine I can do what they do even for just about half a day.

Recruiter

HR is a dummy role, I haven’t seen them doing anything expect what the CXo tell them to do! It’s a spineless job.

Lawyer

Victim of this. I am asked to resign by sharing the screen and given me 5 days to submit laptop and leave the company. This is started  for at least 30 to 40 employees per month from my branch. Now it has become per week. Because they don't have projects and lot of internal politics and fake experience,  backdoor people.

You faced this at Persistent or Quantiphi?

Business analyst

Persistent.. They are doing parallel hiring and firing from few months.

Next time please someone record this hr meeting and share the recording here.

When you are on bench, just ignore calls from the HRs. Works like a charm!

Standard stupid Indian HRs. Asking to share screen and resign. If you don't resign threatening to withhold the experience letter etc. 

Yaay to our labour

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

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.

Reporting time in office My team has Daily Scrums at 9:45am. And if you don’t reach the meeting room by 9:47, it gets marked on a leaderboard. If you cross more than 3 times in a month,pay fine 100rs for 4th, 200 for 5th…

Instead of giving out the severance, they’re asking for resignation. 

And what’s worst is if you don’t resign they won’t give you experience letter and full and final settlement.

Hi all i have recently resigned from my company but my manager is not approving my resignation and is forcing me to stay more what to do?

Cars24 not approving resignation

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.

HELP!! My company is not letting me leave!

Growth Manager

Been hearing this a lot these days where companies are firing a bunch of people and forcing some others to resign, to bring down the severance cost.

What are these situations created by these companies which actually force people to resign?

What is "forced to resign"?

So I was working wfh since past year and recently shifted to a project after a promotion, it’s a nice project and something I was looking forward to work with, but now my reporting manager says that you have to clock atleast 8 hours daily at this tracking software ( Nippon Buddy ). 
And I’ve to report to office 12 days a month, that’s okay but this 8 hours capture time is kinda nuts. 
Do you guys have these kinda policy as well or is it just at service based companies ?
