Dear members, I work for a startup that is supported by a software company with a global presence. I've been subjected to bureaucracy, excessive vigilance, constant questioning, lack of trust in employees, constant monitoring in the office, and pay cuts without informing employees of the policies. Open disrespect—with one word, I can describe it as ATROCITIES.
Coming from an MNC background where I was trusted and valued, receiving numerous accolades, the current situation is disheartening. Hence, I have decided to resign as I could not continue to work in such an environment. Many others have also resigned and left the company. One of the most concerning aspects is that they demand educational certificates from us before joining, and then threaten not to return them or make us go through unnecessary hassle to collect them. I had turned down other opportunities for this role due to my interest in the product. I am now actively searching for a new job.
I just wanted to gather insights from all of you regarding company laws. Is this the norm in other companies as well? Please help.
Thank you.
From India,

Background Study and Work Environment
When you joined this company, did you conduct any background study? How is the environment? Why did you leave the MNC where you won many accolades?
Retention of Educational Certificates
Now, regarding the retention of your educational certificates, the startup has no right to keep them. You can even complain to the civil police about their actions.
Company Evaluation and Due Diligence
As for your query about other companies, there are good companies, medium companies, and worse types. It all depends on your luck and thorough cross-checking before taking up a job. We cannot label all companies as bad across the board. Due diligence about the new employer or company is mandatory. Look at reviews on the internet to get some idea. If it is a listed company, more information is always available in public forums. I hope your next job will be better.
