Dear Lawyers, Here is my case, please suggest me what I should do,
a. I had worked for a MNC S/W firm for 6 years 10 months.
b. In 2007 Oct I was called by my manager and I was told that my performance is not good that I will be enrolled into Performance Improvement Program (PIP).
c. I was told by manager that PIP will be very embarassing for a senior employee like you, instead you please quit. They some how convinced me to resign through e-mail.
d. Since I needed some break as I was expecting my second child and I spent almost 7 years at this company.
e. But due to down trend and reccession I am finding it difficult to find suitable jobs.
f. Company has not done any PIP, and company has non-transparent performance evaluation system. Manager in fact told me that I never recommended for firing you but it's company policy. Even my manager has no clarity w.r.t transparency in appraisal. g. Recently, I requested company if they could take back, HR manager replied saying "You have resigned and you should look elsewhere". I requested company to give me compensation as per law, they say there is no law, you find out and explain and we will see to it. Worst thing is they are refusing to meet me face to face, they give flimsy reasons saying I'm in meeting, come after one month etc etc.
g. The company appraisal system is not good and transparent, through out my stay at company I have directly earned Rs.1.5 crore (as employee) and contributed indirectly to earn Rs.1 crore (as team leader).
h. Since last 18 months I have been unemployed, my self confidence is totally gone, there's many issues due to financial problems. Even my marriage is getting rocked due to action of the company.
i. I am not worried abou compensation, but I feel the company with such a bad attitude should be taken to task, I have served 6 years 10 months w/o any issues. I have appreciation letters from clients of US too.
Please HELP.
THANKS.
