There really isn't a good solution. My personal motto is to name, shame and move on. Always keep looking for backup offers even if it is a reputable company because shit happens and there is no way for you to be compensated based on the promise of an offer (atleast as far as I know).

I had a very disappointing experience with a firm. ￼ I had initially supposed to start with them, but five days before they revoked my offer citing investment issues. My previous firm also was not able to take me in because they already had a replaced me so I’m in a very shitty position. What your thoughts should be my next step apart, apart from obviously, looking for job. 

Any one else who had faced similar issues and what are your advice to someone who’s going through this?

1. Never compromise on ds/algo practice and design. You should get time every week for this.
2. Never trust any company and don't settle
3. Company can replace you anytime. HR just need to float job and hundreds of applicant will apply whereas if you need to find a job you first have to grind LC and design and then you will get ready. This makes a uneven situation.
4. You are not replaceable for your family, friends and loved ones

Benefits of working in toxic or too much work environment
1. Learning
2. A little better payscale
3. Close peer group of colleague 

Cons 
1. You won't get time for practice your interview skills so you would have hard time cracking interviews
2. High pressure can leads to high stress that can lead to less growth in long run and burn out. Once you burn out, your Employer attitude may change
3. You would not have time for your friends and family. You may even lose your social circle. Whereas the colleague group that you would form would start to fade away once you leave that place.
4. It would form a unbalanced relationship where you are more dependent on your Employer and won't be able to do much even if you get less increment or other issues
5. You would not have time for investment or growing your wealth. Your long term wealth is not how much you earn it is how much you have(savings + growth on saving)

What to do if you feel you join such company
- find opportunities and get out in initial days or probation period. You can wipe out that experience from your resume
- Contact the companies you had offer from and ask them to reconsider if they can

What to do if you are stuck in such company
- do a little less work and start preparing. Once you are little confidence start doing lesser work and look for opportunities. At this point in time you don't have to fear them much. Firing is pretty common now 
- Be aware of your rights in worst case as per employment agreement

I secured an on campus offer at the starting of placements and my offer got revoked 15days before the joining and i am left with no options now, lost many good opportunities on campus. As i was already placed my tpo cell didn’t allow me to sit for other companies. So confused now. Now not many companies visiting college and the offer was 15Lpa. It was of 4rounds. Bit scared now as i was relaxed after the offer and stipped dsa. Now i have started again. But still so much confusion going on.

Software Developer

I recently completed my MBA from one of a premier B School, and I am a fresher,was placed in a fintech company and was supposed to join them previous month.
They are doing layoff and has extended our joining with no guarantee as of now. With placements of my college over, I am stuck in this market with no job and a lot of uncertainties, please let me know if there’s any potential opportunity at your company.

Placement offer - Revoked

I am currently doing an SDE Internship in one of the startups in gurugram. Initially I was given a 6 month intern + full time offer, all went well, but in the last month this company is revoking full time offers of some interns  and extending the intern offer to 3-4 months. What should I do in this case ? I am literally scared right now?

Unfair practices in startup revoking FT offer

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hey all, How are you ?
Well I am not fine, I am devastated and have no idea what to do with my life now. As I can't see any way out of this mess where I am right now.
I finally got an offer from a company where I have to join in 1 month but my current company is not allowing me to leave before serving the notice period of 90 days. Despite being on the bench for the last 5 months and still no hope for getting allocated with a project. Firstly, my manager told me that they'll give an early release if I find another opportunity somewhere. But now since I have got the job offer from a different company he denied it. 

The HR of the company where I have to join after a month told me it's not possible to wait for 90 days and he'll revoke the offer if I am unable to join in a month.

😓 my life is a complete mess now. Don't know what to do. I am literally crying every hour, seeing my career getting ruined. It was my mistake joining such a company where employees are not at all valued. 

It was difficult for me to find another job as I didn't have proper experience. I worked on a project for 8 months only and the project got ramped down. 

Now I don't have any choice. I feel like I am trapped for life and there is no way out.
Writing this post with watery eyes. Hoping to know if there is any solution to this trap.

Resignation

Network analyst

I recently joined an early age startup but that place was nothing what they told it’d be. So I decided to quit in 2 weeks. 

I now have an offer from a listed organisation and I am joining on Thursday. However, I haven’t told them about the last 15 days I spent at this startup and have submitted relieving of the last 2 orgs I worked with for 2 yrs each. 

Can there be a problem later?

What to do? Pls suggest guys

On campus offer revoked

I am a 2023 batch undergrad from nit . This year placement season was dull compared to 2022 . But somehow most of people got a job . But from the past 2 3 weeks companies are revoking offer letter. Almost 8 companies have revoked their offer letter, including increff OLX ,karza technology and so on .

Offer letter is getting delayed . Almost all of us had their expected joining in June and July ,but many of my friends have not got their offer letter. 

Also the PPO scene, prior to this year almost  the PPO conversion rate was very good in 6 months intern . A big mnc company hired 26 intern from my college but no PPO .

I am afraid right now. When will the scene become normal?

Offer letter getting revoked

Hie!! 
So recently I planned to switch companies and I got an offer from X company, I accepted the offer, but since I got another offer from Company Y, can I revoke my offer at X company? Company Y has better pay and tech compared to X

Can I revoke my offer before joining?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I joined Synkrama Technologies Private Limited  with enthusiasm, inspired by a positive and supportive environment. Initially, the atmosphere seemed promising, and I was motivated to contribute to the team. However, as time went on, I faced numerous challenges that profoundly impacted my professional and personal well-being.

Early in my tenure, I was appointed as a Team Lead on several projects. This role, though a significant opportunity, came with immense pressure from our CEO, KJ. The expectation was to meet deadlines at any cost, which led to continuous mental stress. Under his directives, I inadvertently became a source of pressure for my colleagues , AN , and AB and other major colleagues . This created a strained and uncomfortable working environment for all of us as i used to put pressure on them on the influence of Karan Jain 

The situation worsened as I found myself working through weekends and even during leaves, resulting in severe mental exhaustion. Despite these efforts, new developers were hired, and I was sidelined. This period was particularly tough, leading to depression and sleepless nights. After enduring this for several months, I decided to resign from my position.

Unexpectedly, KJ contacted me, urging me to withdraw my resignation. He assured me that the previous issues would be resolved and praised my contributions. Reluctantly, I decided to stay, hoping for a positive change.

However, the company's environment continued to pose challenges. We were subjected to screen monitoring via Team Logger, where management frequently questioned my idle time. Despite my high productivity and efficiency, I was often scrutinized for taking breaks or assisting colleagues, which is essential for maintaining a collaborative workspace.

Most recently, a significant and distressing event occurred, further affirming my decision to share my experience publicly. it’s crucial to address and bring awareness to the toxic practices that can affect employees’ mental health and overall well-being.

I hope my story encourages organizations to foster genuinely supportive environments and prioritize the mental health of their employees.

Help needed

Product analyst

I will finish 2 years in may, I worked as business analyst for 1 year 8 months and took release in order to get into a React Js project, I gave rmg all my skills, he said he could not get me a project on those skills, I am rejecting all the support projects, he threatened me saying people are getting released from company if they are not taking projects,
(I cleared digital few months ago)


Cut to the present-
I am working on L1 Sap support, every day I feel like quitting the company, I might have applied for around 400 companies easily in the past 1 month I received call from 2 and neither had scheduled interview after knowing the notice period, If I dont take a decision now I wont be able to crack interviews later as days pass the experience I need to fake also builds,

My options:
1. I thought I will keep my papers after the current hike and revoke it if I do not get any offer
2. Fight with the current manager for release on the basis of the 2 year contract he recently told, which was not mentioned while I was taken into the project.
3. Do my learnings parallelly and when I get an offer I will leave the company


My current level of understanding in react is moderate, I have done few small projects and I helped one of my friends in his project for some time and I feel that I can crack interviews.

Please give your suggestions, its a life thats going to change if i stay here for 2 more yrs I will come out with 0 exposure and 4 yrs experience.

TCSer dilemma- No jobs outside - No projects Inside

Business analyst

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I have about 5 YOE and looking for a job change. While I received so many calls from startups for SSE backend roles. During initial discussions I often let the HR know that I am earning 28 lakhs as CTC and I ask for 40 lakhs CTC, they say that they will get back to me but they never do so. Am I doing something wrong? Am I asking for too much. Should I wait for the market to get back to normal?
PS: I definitely have the major set of skills they are expecting for the job role.

Salary that needs to be negotiated

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

Its been 3 months since I left my last company after completing 8 months of internship, I rejected the full time offer because I was exploited and work culture was very toxic, since then I applied to more than 100+ jobs online and hardly converted 5 interviews and got 1 offer for part time which is soon going to be revoked, assuming from the company's behaviour. At this point I have lost all the motivation to work, improve and apply for jobs I am tired and drowing in self doubt. It even kills me to see the people who are not skilled as I am are getting good jobs and salary. With all this my family is not so supportive and not a single day has passed where I didn't get into arguments with my parents.

Forced Resignation

Chartered accountant 

Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

Hi all, 

Recently put down my papers at a Financial Services Company. The management is after me to take back my paper and retain me. I gave a lot of thought on the current profile, pay and the same at new Co. before putting my papers but all of a sudden the rosy picture being presented to me is getting to my head
 I am really confused about what to do in such a situation. Further I am scared that once I am retained i might be ill treated and made a scapegoat out of if my team doesn’t perform.

Should I just stick to my guns and avoid any retention discussion or give it a meaningful and positive thought?

Need help. Recently put down my papers at an Indian Financial Services Company. The managers are after my life trying to retain

Got an offer from one of the top 5 FMCG brands with way better pay. I learned a very important lesson of being patient. I was about to resign that day but you guys talked some sense into me to not quit without offer. Happily put in my papers today
