I worked for a company under a 2 year bond with 3 lakhs bond amount in a software development role. After one year one month of working I was transferred to a salesforce support role without my consent, completely against my will. I communicated to the management that I am not interested in that role and I will be looking for other career opportunities outside the company. I was hoping they would understand my sentiment and have me voluntarily resign without the bond but they didnt. Because of the excessive bond amount I was unable to leave. Now when I had signed the bond, there was no elaboration on the job roles and responsibilities, only the job title was mentioned as 'System Analyst/Developer' which I had interepreted to be about software development since the interiviews and everything were about that. It is important to note that I couldn't leave the company on my own voilation because of the restrictive and misleading bond amount
Despite that they made no efforts to understand me and had me work in the new role for 3 months. Now in these three months, they didnt communicate to me in written or verbal about my performance or behavior. But my relationship with them soured and one day the called me to a meeting and had asked me If i am interested in this job to wihch I replied 'no'. Then they told me that it was best for us if we mutually agreed to separate to which I agreed. I had interpreted this as my voluntarily exit with bond waived off. Now after three weeks the release the experience letter where they mention that my employment ended because of Performance and behavioral issues. There was no comments either written or verbal was made to me about my performance or the termination being for cause till the end of my tenure. They didnt give me severance or any notice.
The only thing I don't want is negative remarks on my experience letter. What should be my course of action?

It's unfortunate that you're going through this situation. Here are the steps you can take:
1. Consult a Labor Lawyer: Given the complexity of your situation, it's advisable to consult a labor lawyer who can provide you with legal advice based on the labor laws in India.
2. Document Everything: Keep a record of all your communications with the company, including emails, letters, and any verbal conversations if possible. This will serve as evidence if you decide to take legal action.
3. Communicate with the Company: Write a formal letter to your company's HR department explaining your situation and requesting them to remove the negative remarks from your experience letter. Make sure to mention that no feedback was given to you about your performance or behavior during your tenure.
4. Legal Action: If your company refuses to cooperate, you may consider filing a case with the labor court. Your lawyer can guide you through this process.
5. Seek Support from Colleagues: If possible, get testimonies from your colleagues about your performance and behavior at work. This will strengthen your case.
Remember, it's important to act quickly and decisively in such situations. Good luck!
