Where is the Robinhood Chicago office?
Hi fishes, I got an email from Infosys that I selected for a technical interview on Oct 1st(tomorrow). It was mentioned in the email that I will get another email with the interview invite a day before the interview (which is today). But i haven't received any email from them. I wrote an email to talent acquisition team but no response yet from them. Is there any way to know the details about tomorrow interview? Infosys

Yo, where my Pros at?!?!
That's interesting. The company I work for provides sign on bonuses and it clearly states in offer letter that it must be paid back for xyz reasons EXCEPT for reduction in force.
Those people didn't choose to leave. Feels strange to ask for that back unless the company is strapped for cash? I'd be getting out as fast as I could!
Yeah it was strange too. All their “employment agreements” are odd. Everything about this company is odd and my anxiety is through the roof.
I wouldn’t think it would be legal to ask a sign on bonus to be paid back for an involuntary term. 🤔
No repayment agreement, laid off. Not termed for cause. Laid off due to lack of work. And I’ve stayed the ramifications and all I get is “they owe it back why are you being so complicated?”
Oof, that’s so awful. Is there any way to convince them the negative publicity and blowback could be far more costly to their business than the amount they could ever potentially recover from their former employees? Unless there’s some provision in the offer letter/employment agreement to recover the monies, I doubt they could claw back anything.
@bre once I have a back up job I will be leaving asap and not look back. Otherwise I’m going out on STD.
Where do you work so we know not to work there? 😬
Well they ain’t hiring HR anytime soon, but as a rule of thumb from my experience, stay away from Chinese created companies.
RUN FOREST RUN!!!

Yikes
Yikes doesn’t even begin to describe what I’ve inherited. Not even 2 months in and my psych team already is noticing huge uptick in anxiety and panic. A dormant disorder is flaring up resulting in pain due to the 12 hour days 7 days a week. I’m already burned out and looking for a way out.
Let’s make it worse….just got an IM “be sure to email the most recent layoff and let them know we will deduct from final paycheck for bonus if they don’t pay it back. We might extend their visa by term date if they comply, if not oh well.” I just can’t. State law says we can’t deduct all of it (leaders think they can) only to minimum wage on final check if the employee signed agreement to it. Sadly they did. I’m ethically bankrupt.
since things are happening that you know to be against state law, Save copies in your personal records of the records that would protect you.
That is horrifying. Hopefully there aren’t many attorneys that would take that on.
Probably not. If they do, it’s gonna be a hefty price. It’s horrific to be going back and forth of “they signed it they owe it. Why is this so complicated?” Like dude. Do you not understand???? You take their FINAL check in a west coast state? Yeah all hell breaks loose. I literally stated what would happen. All for $6k of $50k. Like is that worth it?
Did you not see any red flags during your interview with them? I accepted a nightmare role years back but they lied to me during the interview. Flat out lied about so much.
Shocks. That is so horrible. I'd never imagined myself working at a company like that again. I once experienced it myself.
Applying to new jobs like mad today. Woke up yesterday to a text at 1am from CEO saying our CTO is to approve PTO moving forward. Not me, not leads. I have a lead yelling at me trying to teach her management skills and how to track performance. Yesterday while doing basic chores my lower back seized up and I’ve been in extreme pain since then. 7 weeks is all it took to run me into the ground. I’m baffled, defeated, disappointed, frustrated and just done. After tax and benefits I’m the lowest paid person in the company. Running so far and gonna activate that short term disability if I can (we gotta make it to first payroll with new PEO first which if we don’t I’ll lose my mind)

Crossing fingers you find something SOON.
Just go on std asap. Get it all teed up now.
You need to go out on STD *now*. If your medical team is seeing this many issues, the time is now. You can job hunt while on leave but you have to secure the most important thing: you.
Good luck!
Wow, just wow.
What I say, all day every day.
Wow it makes sense to claw back if someone voluntarily resigns but to ask for it when they’re laid off? That’s pretty shitty!
That's not fair. I am so sorry to hear this. How are you dealing with this right now?

Leave. Immediately.
