Hi everyone,

I'm currently working at a start-up as a Manual Tester, and I signed a 2-year bond when I joined. I've completed one year so far, but working here has become a nightmare. The work environment is toxic, and the salary isn't satisfactory. I desperately want to switch jobs, but I'm stuck and don't know how to get out of this situation.

Any advice on how I can navigate this and find a way out would be greatly appreciated.

Hey,
If you dont want experience letter then dont worry, you can directly break that bond and switch in new firm. If you want experience letter then you have to clear the security deposit if applicable or satisfy their abscond conditions

Is bond legal in india?

I dont know it is legel or not...becoz all company provide bond with offer letter

I am sure you can go and put a Stop Payment on that cheque number. Otherwise, they can deposit it and take your money or raise a criminal complaint with the police if your cheque bounces... Please check the legal options. A criminal case is not worth an year.
