1. Direct threat of firing you if you don't resign and that would look bad on your profile 
 2. Making a performance case and giving Performance Improvement plan with impossible tasks or very high workload. They will find fault like you did not do this and that 
 3. Not giving any rewards or appraisal or anything and micromanaging to make your life hell so you switch yourself

Severance is not paid in force to resign . Had to face this in last company . It also means two things - 
  
 1. Either manager asks you to resign  
 2. Or you are given impossible tasks

Yes I know that severance is never paid in case of resignation. That's why companies are forcing people to do so.

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"?- Grapevine

Going through something similar where the management has laid off 1/3rd the total team via forced resignation and without any severance. A bunch of folks who stood up to ask for reasons, severance etc are being threatened with termination and bad experience letter (and even lawsuits)

Could really use your take if you or your colleagues have gone through something similar.

People who were forced to resign but stood your ground - how did you handle the unnecessary pressure?

Is it better to resign or getting fired from work? Does it come up in background checks later?

Guys, anyone faced Forced resignation in Capgemini? What are the reasons?

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

Persistent Systems forcing employees to resign

DevOps Engineer

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.

Product Manager

My manager is forcing me to resign stating financial issues in the company. Please let me know how to deal with this.

forced resignation

I have been hearing from multiple friends across organizations in India. Lay offs are not in news but happening silently across boards. Companies are on cost cutting mode. Interesting year ahead

Silent layoffs happenings across organizations

Thank you for sharing this. 
  
 Was not knowing about silent layoffs happening. 
  
 But one interesting thing I have observed is that many organizations are now deliberately making the work environment more pressurised and/or toxic to reduce the headcount so that they don't need to layoff people.

What is the difference between layoff, forced resignation & termination?

Relationship Manager

Any insights would help here. Looking to buy one! Or is this just scam?

Has someone claimed job insurance post layoff?

From what I hear from a friend who is aware of the leadership discussions, MPL might be looking to lay off close to 50% of its workforce and shut down most of its other BU’s to consolidate by October. This would include folks even till the SVP levels. This might be one of the first pins to fall with the 28% GST rule kicking in by October. Dark days ahead for online RMG  industry in India

Massive layoffs coming up at MPL

companies like MPL should not exist in the first place. Why promote gambling?. not for any moral reasons,  if someone wants to gamble, let them go to a casino and do it. Instead, making it easier for some one to gamble at  any time/anywhere is unacceptable.

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.

I got to know a senior leadership member at a popular startup suggested to deliberately do poor appraisal for an employee so that she resigns herself.

Bad times ahead with companies forcing employees to join back offices and planning silent layoffs.

PS: By "forcing" I mean not leaving employees with much of an option other than to quit.

Silent layoffs upcoming 😔

Is that job market very bad ?? I seen from  Facebook company page saying many people are forced to resign ??

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

What would you do if you are part of an early stage company but the founders lack clarity and vision ?

The problem they are trying to solve is exciting but there is lack of strategy and focus.

Anything that an employee could do to help ?

Early stage company - bad founders

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.

Asked to do Resign

Hope you all are doing great.

So I have a question in my mind regarding this company called Jobsurance.

What do you guys think of the business model and overall use case of this company which is betting on an insurance on a job?
