----PLEASE HELP --- URGENT ---
I am working for IT company in India - Chennai.
I joined a new project in July 2014 and since the very beginning of the period in this team, I have been facing harsh, humiliation and threatening words from my manager, most of the times for no reasons.
I had been humiliated in from of team members, on emails, on internal chat window, on phone, insulted, been made a laughter stock and threatened for bad performance ratings which in turn will ruin my carrer. AND ALL FOR NO REASON !
I had all supported documents (email conversations, chats etc)
When complained to HR regarding same, the matter was tried to be buried down under, to keep the manager on safer side, and I was released from project bringing me on suffering end. No apologies letter were received. No action has been taken as per the company policy. (this was a clear case of policy breach)
Manager escaped happily and safely. (Manager is female FYI)
Now as I had been threatened earlier, the manager almost took a revenge of me taking this matter to HR by giving me poor rating, due to which now my career has been on stake.
Since the time all this started I have been in depression and BP has gone down along with other health issue.
I have the proofs that I worked with dedication despite of adverse work environment.
I have proofs which proves the behaviour of manager towards me over all these months. Yet I am helpless.
HR did not help as per company policy.
What should I do ?
Is there any law which can get me my rights ?

As rightly pointed by expert Shri Thangapandian, I too do not find any legal problem in the query. It is the view of the Manager, who happens to be female, about the performance appraisal. Nobody can force the Manager to reverse the appraisal. Better avoid such assignments and start a new life. Sometime, you can not fight against every thing, though there is no fault of yours.

In case of resignation if it is proved that it was a forced resignation obtained by the employer under threat of coercion, it would be taken as a case of termination. But on appreciation of pleadings and evidence if it is found to be free and voluntary, then it would not amount to termination………..
OR you should be able to establish that such intolerable conditions were created that you had no option but to separate by resignation…………………………..culminating into Wrongful Termination.
You may better consult your counsel and proceed further after fully merits and remedies and if these suit your aptitude.
Or forget is as an unfortunate episode.
