“I regretted after leaving that job coz i wanted to have a corporate experience and i was not getting job easily, tho, i was earning and working as freelancer. After more than a month i got a call from, my one day TL, he congratulated me for leaving the job on very first day. When i asked why, he said " bro they didn't give me my salary bcoz i couldn't achieve the target of $1500 in 30 days" it was his first month too. And then i got to know that the agenda of that new startup was to get work done for 1 month and torture employee so that they resign and they don't need to pay them,” the post stated.

Out of frustration, the individual said that they regretted leaving the job as they wanted to gain corporate exposure out of it. They added that they incurred financial losses from the ordeal but found relief in the lesson taught by the incident.

Netizens expressed outrage with the company's behaviour, where, one user said, "We really need strict labor laws, companies like these need to be punished for exploiting innocent people."
