Laid-Off Employee Denied Entry for Child While Returning Office Laptop at Preqin
A recently laid-off Bengaluru employee shared his experience of returning his office laptop while bringing his 2-year-old son due to lack of childcare.

The employee clarified that the company, Preqin, a BlackRock firm, followed its visitor policies. The incident prompted him to reflect on the impersonal nature of employer-employee relationships.
