Infact this is very good topic to discuss and the fact is once an employee resigned in an organization the mangmnt will try to screw him/her. Ofcouse its unethical & they are completly forgetting about the particular employee's contribution or long service. Trust me it happnd to me though I was senior staff in HR. The same thing I informed HR Manager never treat any employee like this, it might spoil the company reputation among the candidates, what if an employee tells to 10 people about their behaviour!! Might b managment probe but everyone points HR Dept only.
