He mentioned in the email that he will give 2 weeks of time to me but he revoked all the access so that I can leave immediately. This is my chat with my boss and he terminated me because I took a stand and suggested to him that we cannot deduct 7 days of salary for 1 day of absence,” she wrote on LinkedIn. She also shared a few screenshots of her WhatsApp conversation with her boss. The image shows the woman’s post.

Just like this individual who posted, “Seems the boss is still promoting colonial rule and slavery. Stay Strong.” Another added, “Seems you have hurt him in the wrong place. He is a great person after all and couldn’t digest ethical guidelines schooling from you. 1. Please file a case in the labour court as it takes probably less than 100 rupees referencing malpractice, modern slavery and fraudulent corporate strategy. 2. Kindly send a legal notice to this great person for wrongful termination, workplace harassment and bullying and contest it. It is incredibly heartwarming to see there are still HRs like you and you actually STOOD UP. Do not leave this person. Because today it’s you and tomorrow it’s someone else.” A third commented, “There is a website of the Central Government on which you can complain, otherwise another suggestion is that all the employees of the company should resign together, After that the company is no more then he will apply for the job himself and understand all these.” A fourth wrote, “Show unity employees and support her. Raise your voice! It’s very unethical.” Several company employees showed their support when a separate post denying the woman’s allegations was shared on LinkedIn.
