Hi All,
I have joined a company based in Noida. I have signed a bond for 1 year, and they have taken a cheque of 2 lakh rupees from me with a zero-balance account. It's only been a few days in that company, and I have realized that it's going to be very tough for me to work there. I feel there is a lot of exploitation, and I am not able to explore my skills. Although office timings are from 9 to 6, I have to stay until 10 as well.
Please suggest how I can move on from this company.

Hi Shripad,
Thanks for your suggestion. However, I don't want to go there now. I have given 2 weeks, and on a daily basis, I am being underestimated and demoralized. I can't work in such an atmosphere. Please suggest some way in which I can make a move from here without any legal action being taken against me.

Hi Annu,
I deeply empathize with your situation. First, executing the bond by an organization is termed as legal as long as the employer is fair. If the bond is meant to exploit the employee, then you can challenge the bond in court with the pretext that the employer pressured you to sign the bond in lurement of a job. Now, the employer is exploiting you for his gains.
As a support, you need to take printouts of all the scenarios which you shared with HR (formally/informally) to ensure there is support for your case. As such, a bond is just a piece of paper to scare the employees. You can terminate the bond anytime while giving a legal notice to the employer by filing a case of exploitation/harassment. Please consult a lawyer if you wish to do so.
Cheers :-)

Learn what is possible there - be patient and escape! Don't just look at the clock to run from your work, if you are in a position where it requires stretching work time! Understand this could be a test on you to check your attitude!

Please go through the terms mentioned in the bond signed by you and your letter of appointment, and you will know the consequences in case you resign. The bond will not stand the scrutiny of the legal system and court if the terms of the bond are discriminatory to the employee and only favoring the employer.
You can also find out from the history of the company regarding similar past cases. Has the company ever made use of a security check, and what has been the response after the bouncing of the check?
In case the bond signed by you is perfect from a legal point of view, and you decide to quit, then you will have to follow the terms of the bond. So find out the legal and technical validity of the bond and then decide about leaving or taking any other action.
Thanks & Regards

Dear,
If you quit, they will go for legal action. The best thing you can do is to tell them you can't work past 6:00 pm. Just frustrate your boss and employer until they ask you to leave or to resign. The bond is vice-versa; if you work poorly, they can't terminate you. So, if you don't want to work with them, create problems for them until they ask you to resign.

Dear annu.mlh,
Let me first ask you, are you sure about the next employer you are going to work with? What makes you think that the work is not proficient? Work hours in any company would typically be more flexible rather than frame-based. You mentioned that you are a very new employee to that organization. It takes a little while to adjust and settle into any new work environment. Could you please provide specific reasons for your feedback?
Thank you.
