Deletion of company data from laptop Deletion of company data from laptop

2 years ago

I have resigned from company and under impression that data is backed up on portal, I have deleted the same from laptop. Now the company has issued me a show cause notice to revert why I should not be terminated and pay fine to them. I am OK to pay fine but termination letter will kill my chances for future jobs. What to do.

You need to discuss with the company and settle this amicably else you are left with no choice but to get terminated from the company. Try to figure out the loss that they would have incurred because of your action and whether the data is recoverable or not.
