Noida Startup Terminates Employee After Weekend Work Refusal During Probation

A senior employee with 12 years of experience was reportedly dismissed by a Noida-based startup after refusing to work on a weekend during probation. The employee, hired two months prior to manage US e-commerce operations, claimed that after a leadership change and increased performance targets, they faced micromanagement and extended work hours. Despite raising concerns with founders about unrealistic targets, management supported the new leader. The employee alleges termination followed their weekend absence due to illness.
