I recently tried to resign from my position, and this was the shocking response I received from management (see attached chat screenshot).

They are demanding 6 months of my net salary to release me, claiming 3 months for leaving before 3 years and 3 months for a notice period. When I pointed out that no bond, notice period, or terms were ever communicated to me when I joined, their response was: "Informing you is none of our business... You never asked for an offer letter, so we didn't give one."

To make matters worse, they are now threatening to withhold my experience letter and actively sabotage my future job opportunities with negative background verification reviews.

As a fresher, you pour your hard work, time, and energy into helping a company grow. Where is the basic professional gratitude? What kind of respect are freshers receiving from startups?

This is not just unfair; it is completely toxic and predatory. No employee should be held hostage by unwritten rules and intimidation tactics.

When hard work meets unfair management… ❌😰😵

I joined with trust, worked sincerely, and gave my best — but when I decided to move on, I was threatened with a fake bond and asked to pay six months’ salary for an experience letter.

Where is the gratitude?

Is this how startups treat freshers who build their dreams?
