Releasing from project is not same as firing, right? You would be sent to Bench and you may have to search for another project while on Bench.

Hello All,

My director told me that I am releasing from the project as my feedback is negative received from the client and I have been working for 6 months in the project 

For one or two days I tried to connect with my manager just to clear client people have done politics with me but he has not replied for 8 days. Then later I dropped a mail in detail. But still he didn't even reply not message me. 

Will they fire me based on client feedback? 

What's this policy to fire the employee?

Please reply me if you know the answer it helps to other as well.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

10 days ago my TL told me that you have been released from our project since we don't have much work in our project and also mentioned that I am not releasing your manager who told me to say that. Now my manager is asking me in appraisal discussion to resign from the company otherwise HR will terminate me.they orally gave me poor ratings but not updated in my work day. Tomorrow is last date to say about my decision. What should I do? Any suggestions please

Should I resign.

Can someone tell me which are the good product based companies for .Net developer with 1.5 YOE.

Its very very disappointing that management comes to you to want some names from your team, so that they release them from the project.

All clients are doing budget cut.

Project release

Team Lead

So my current manager has decided there is not enough work to give me so she has decided to release me. I was fine with that because I thought I could start fresh. But on the same day I was told of the release I have been added to some other project. I was in Java development and now i have been added to some support project. When I called the new manager to tell him I am not interested he spoke very rudely asking me whether I think I can dictate terms around here with just shy of 2 year experience. All these decisions are made by people above you and I have to do as asked.  Is this normal in service based companies ??

Just got onboarded to a project I don't want

Need guidance from fellow experienced folks or who have done this before. What are the proper reasons to ask for a release.

My reasons:
- work is too hectic and repetitive and no growth technically (mostly support and maintenance once in a blue moon some dev sort of work).

- Client is mismanaged they dont know what work is important and come with multiple deadlines even before prod day.

- No proper KT is given when assigning a new task.

- In the name of agile its kanban board and not jira (given a sprint task to be finished in a day or two and new tickets pulled in between).

- Manager swaps ticket often in between sprint.

- Manager is mostly away even on standups or client calls so we manage faking they worked and we manage in behind scenes.

- Due to too many upcoming requests in tight deadlines from last 3 months wlb is miserable and have worked two weeks without an off once and night shift charges given is 220 only per day.

Now I need your all guidance on what can be a better approach or how to improvise

Asking manager a release?

Hi folks,

A friend of mine has been put in PIP. He's afraid he'll be fired at the end of it. He's not a bad performer. Just stuck with a toxic boss who can't lead but expects 100 things to be done simultaneously and that my friend is a mind-reader. What do you do if you're fired by the firm? What do you say in the interviews? It's just been 7 months in the role. How do you justify the subsequent gap that may follow. 

Appreciate if someone share any tips. TIA!

Firing after PIP. What to do?

Product Owner

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

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.

I was working in a toxic environment, which should be a separate post, too long to explain here, tldr, I was put in pip, and then I resigned and put my notice, I like a responsible employee started finishing off my projects and tasks, giving KTs to other folks and junior. but now after this my company is saying ur lwd is 2 days from now, when in my contract notice is 2 months, HR says company has the right to waive off notice period without paying severance. What can I do currently, I don't have any job back up, so have to be unemployed for a while without any severance. Is this legally right from company sides, what possible things can I do currently?

Company terminating without notice or severance

Frontend Engineer

I work for a start up and am currently on maternity leave. I am supposed to resume my work from the 2nd week of may. And My husband has to move to a different country for work. He is moving early next month.

So I will have to take care of some of his responsibilities here, while he is away from home. Having a 6 month old baby and my father in law to take care of as well. I have decided to take a break from my career and sort things out. Once my husband settles down, we will move there and then I'll start looking out for opportunities.

Now the question is, since I'm resigning during maternity leave and the project has no dependency on me. Can the manager or HR ask me to serve the notice?? Or will I be given an immediate release? 

I want an immediate release. Please advise!

Resigning 1 week before my maternity leave ends. Should I serve notice?

Is Infosys firing employees?

I work at a small scale startup where I interact daily with the CTO whom I directly report.

Recently, he has been giving tighter deadlines for critical projects at work and is not willing to discuss anything related to the scope or timeline of the projects. He just expects me to finish everything in x number of days without asking for even the slightest estimate of the duration.

This has led to me missing due dates for projects which he later blames on me quoting poor performance during reviews. 

Has anyone encountered such problems before? How did you handle it?

Deadlines without discussion

Product Engineer

Despite meeting all targets, I've been put under PIP. The HR is saying that I have one month to improve my performance or I'll be asked to leave, and that too without severance. 

I just want to know if there are similar policies at your company?  Means are you not eligible for severance if you are being asked to leave under PIP?

I've been put under PIP at Unacademy

This is just a way for the company to escape from paying severance pay. 
  
 Start looking for a new job and move on. 
  
 Be confident that’s it’s nothing to do with your skills or capabilities.

Hi Everyone, This post is about the Toxic Co-Founder of Quantiphi (Mr Toxic Asif Hassan).

Reasons:

1. Work-Culture has become Toxic, People in Project are working since 5 weekends without any single leave ( No Extra Pay/No Comp-offs/ No weekend Leaves) and that to 13-14hours a day Straight.

2. People in my project who have raised voices have been told (" You know what options you have and I have "). Indirectly saying if you revolt either i will fire you or you resign immediately.

3. People facing issues with Clients(Canda's BigTicket Insurance Firm) paying a huge amount for an un-realistic deadline project were told by Asif. If you have any problems that don't come to me, i want only solutions( He doesn't want to listen to Anyone).

4. People were forcefully told to come to the office ( Some people who had some genuine issues e.g. one of our colleagues recently got blessed with a baby) was told by Asif you are not the one caring for the baby, So you have to come.

5. All our advanced leaves are cancelled, People who are taking Sick leave are being told either bring your backup or work with your Illness, we don't care.

6. Issues raised with HR, HR says "We cant do anything".

7. In the last 7 days many senior people and colleagues were either Forcefully resigned / got Laid-Off.

8. The people suffering the most are the ones directly in touch with the client or the developers reason being Asif bashes Managers and Managers Bash us for No fault of ours because of the un-realistic deadlines set.

9. People revolting are put on the bench and are laid-off the next day without any reason. 

The Moral of the whole team is near to Zero and many of us are thinking to voluntarily Resign from this toxic workplace. 

Guys do suggest, should we call out these kinds of toxic Co-Founders and Companies or not. I need to help me reach this post to a wider audience.

Happy to hear comments.
