I joined my current company on 26 June, and within four days of my joining I was told to leave the organization without any reason. I was initially told that it was because of the quality of my work but nobody in 4 days ever gave me feedback, instead they used my content for their website. once the website was launched with all my content they said that my work wasn't fine? when I asked them they changes the subject to culture but could not back it up either. they told me that they will discuss this matter again but they are not providing any clarity. they are giving me work but no feedback and when I try to talk about the issue they say they're busy. It is a startup and this works like this only. They also gave appointment letters to other employees after this incident in which they mentioned that they can terminate us without any reason. I rejected offer letters for this company, shifted to a new city, and in a week they are doing this. I feel used and I don't know what to do.

A.Dear client,

Request a meeting: Reach out to your immediate supervisor or someone in a higher position within the company to request a meeting to discuss your termination. Explain that you would like to understand the reasons behind their decision and seek clarification on the lack of feedback provided during your short tenure.

Document your work and communications: Make sure to keep records of any work you have completed, including emails, documents, or any other evidence that demonstrates your contributions and efforts during your time at the company. This documentation may be useful in future discussions or if you need to escalate the matter.

Seek feedback and clarification: During the meeting, express your desire to receive specific feedback on your performance and the reasons behind your termination. Ask for constructive criticism that can help you understand where improvement was needed. This information can be valuable for your professional growth and future job prospects.

Review your employment contract or offer letter: Carefully review the terms of your employment contract or offer letter to understand your rights and obligations. Pay attention to any clauses related to termination and the company's obligations to provide notice or reasons for termination.

Consider seeking legal advice: If you believe your termination was unfair or unjustified, you may want to consult with an employment lawyer to review your situation and determine if any legal recourse is available to you. They can guide you on the best course of action based on the specific circumstances and employment laws in your jurisdiction.

Explore new job opportunities: While dealing with the aftermath of this situation, it may be beneficial to start looking for new job opportunities that align with your career goals. Update your resume, reach out to your network, and explore job boards to find potential openings.

A.Dear Client,

An offer letter is issued by stipulating a condition that the employee can be terminated at any time without showing any cause or reason amounted to unfair labour practice being bad in law. In the absence of compliance of the mandatory procedure under the relevant Statute/Act applicable to the establishment, termination or retrenchment of any employee is treated as illegal termination being victimized with ulterior motives to exploit the career of any employee. Remedy or relief against such kind of illegal termination lies u/s.2A or 2(oo) in the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, and The State Shops and Establishment Act. You may consult with an Advocate for further clarification and steps.
