Indian Professionals Report Job Loss and Unpaid Salary Issues Abroad
Two Indian professionals shared experiences of workplace challenges abroad. Ruchika Jain, working in a US startup, was laid off six months in without receiving her formal full-time offer letter, citing budget cuts and no prior notice. She described personal sacrifices and delayed contract confirmation. Separately, Kolkata-based Rounik Tarafder reported his former employer withheld Rs 10,000 salary for nearly a year despite repeated follow-ups, eventually blocking communication. Both cases highlight issues of employment uncertainty and delayed payments in different contexts.
