Hi All,
I have been working in a CMMI Level 3 company since April 2015 as a Senior Software Engineer. The project I was working on was closed due to some client management issues. Now, my employer has given me a one-month notice to terminate my job. I was hired as a permanent employee, and this termination is not due to performance issues as the client provided positive feedback about my work. I am still in the probation period of six months as per the offer letter, with a one-month notice period initially, and it becomes two months after confirmation.
My question is, can an employer issue a notice to you just because the assignment was closed, especially just ten days after the project ended? Can I demand compensation as it has disrupted my career without any fault of mine? Finding the right job will take some time.
Legal experts, please share some insights here. I feel cheated as there was no mention in the offer letter that being on the bench could lead to termination with just one month's notice.

Thanks, mate.
Even I am having the same thought, but on the ethics, I feel really bad as I have delivered the project with two successful releases with lots of tuning done to the old code to perform better. Doing such a good job and deserving termination at the end really hurts.
I hope going forward the government should come up with strict rules for companies regarding termination policies. A job is not a game where you bring a person into your team and the next day throw him out for no reason.
