Indian Professionals Report Job Loss and Delayed Salary Issues in US and KolkataPreviousNext

An Indian woman working at a US startup as a Social Media Growth Manager claims she was laid off after 2.5 months without receiving a formal offer letter, despite completing probation and working extended hours. She also missed personal events due to work commitments. Separately, a Kolkata professional alleges his former employer withheld Rs 10,000 in salary for nearly a year, blocking communication after repeated follow-ups. Both cases highlight challenges faced by employees regarding job security and timely payment.
