Dear Anonymous user,
Based on your monologue, we would like to get some facts in the open and address your concerns..
Notice Period
1) Most IT companies have a notice period that they are serious about
2) Rules are not a one way street. Are you saying that notice period accepted by the employee at the time of joining the organization should mean nothing to them but it should become a question of professionalism for the company if they expect you to live up to your commitment?
3) If we insist that an employee serves his/her notice period, there is a good reason for it. Employees of companies with a smaller team and flat structure tend to get involved in work that is customer oriented and has high business impact. Since the work we do at Interactcrm requires specialist knowledge, replacing it overnight is not possible. We give employees business impacting work and seems like you want to blame us for that? It is unfortunate that you don’t understand what it means to be fail customer commitments in today fiercely competitive environment.
4) We are 100% in line with the industry as a lot of our employees have joined us from other organizations, where we have waited for them to join us after serving their notice period. At your tender age, you may not appreciate this, but most companies understand this protocol and will wait for employees to join them. It is really sad that what you learnt at Interactcrm helped you when you interviewed for your new job and you have no respect for any of that.
Fake Projects
Let us look at this practically. Is an employee eligible to get paid during notice period? Yes he/she is. Now, why would any company pay money for work that is FAKE? I guess your concern probably is “why am I expected to work during notice period”. No arguments there.
Salary
Yes, there have been delays on Salary and nothing bears us down more than the fact that we haven’t been able to finish our projects & collect in time so we can pay on time. It is a phase we are quickly overcoming with every passing month. However, once again you have conveniently chosen to NOT mention 2 facts – 1) Salaries have NEVER not been paid and 2) Company has always paid interest on the delayed Salary on its own accord since it considers that as borrowed money. Do note that it is not industry standard to pay interest on delayed salaries but we still do it. That itself indicates our commitment and ethics.
Birthdays
This has always been an initiative driven by the employees for many years now. Those who have been part of the history know the positive context with which this was started as part of team fraternity. All that company has done is allow employees to use the services of the front desk to facilitate contribution collection from the employees, event coordination, and allowed some down time to celebrate during work hours.. However, it looks like this has been construed as company collecting from employees, which could not have been farther from the truth. Anyway, if this is the cheap and dirty way in which certain employees are going to interpret a tradition started by past employees, we would rather give the tradition an honorable farewell.
Interactcrm does cutting edge work and has real customers. It is not a hobby that some people decided to pursue. All businesses have good and bad times and we are no different. But we do provide a really good learning ground for our employees and also try our best to create an environment that people enjoy to work in. We may not be perfect but we have no bad intentions. Else we would not still be in business after so many years. Our goal is to be successful along with our employees since no company can grow without the support of their employees. It has to be a team effort. We urge our ex-employees to be professional, think rationally and not get personal on public forums. It reflects more on your character than on the company and when other employers read it, you will be the one being judged. In spite of our differences of opinion we would like to apologize for any inconveniences caused and wish you all the best in life.
