I'm serving notice period in TCS and my last day is in 2 weeks. I requested for pickup of laptop in the portal but I came to know that it will take time for pickup and I won't be available if they come late. So I decided to go to office and surrender the laptop as I'm in the location of office only. Is there a seperate request to be raised for surrender of laptop and how to cancel the existing request for pickup. Please guide.Tata Consultancy

This is illegal. A signed offer letter with firm compensation much be abided by and cannot be lessened without a newly signed offer letter with employee consent to the pay reduction. Contact your local bureau of labor and file a claim.

Pretty sure that employment offer that was signed would be grounds enough for a lawyer to sue the company. Sounds like breach of contract to me.
That’s a direct violation of the employment contract, 100% not normal, and I’d be running for the hills from a company like that.
Overall, what I’m seeing is a general trend toward low-balling new talent because businesses layedoff a ton of people and companies know they can get a discount when someone is desperate for work. I definitely don’t agree - but companies are trying to shift the balance.
However.. the situation you explain is a literal bait and switch. That company needs to watch out, someone is going to lawyer up, go to the media or flame them on social media (maybe all 3) - and it’s going to cost them WAAAAY more to fix the image issue than paying people fairly.
Agree with everyone else. With a sighned offer letter and without a documented reason for the demotion or reduction in pay, that is a negative employment action without cause and is illegal. Report them if terminated, sue for retaliation and lost wages.
