Redditor Quits Job With Noida Start-Up A Day After Joining, Here’s What Happened

The user shared that they joined the firm as a business development executive, however, they were made to cold call 500 numbers on the first day itself

A Reddit user talked about his experience of working in a start-up in Noida and the horrors they faced. The individual in a post on the social media platform said that they joined the company and quickly quit due to the toxic workplace culture.

The post sparked a heated discussion on the Indian Workplace subreddit where the post was shared. “So i joined a digital marketing company on 7th oct and worked only for 1 day and called the HR next day to tell her that I'm not coming anymore,” the user said.

The user shared that they joined the firm as a business development executive, however, they were made to cold call 500 numbers on the first day itself. The individual noted that the company decided to change their work hours from a 2-11 pm shift to a graveyard shift of 7 pm to 4 am.

“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."
