I started working for a startup around 2 years ago, I literally helped them survive in covid, I worked my ass off for them. (I was getting good money so no complain there) but now after 2 years I started looking for better opportunities and finally found one but now the old company guy is not letting me go they have froze my experience letter, not accepting resignation letter not even giving me my salary slips and since with all this frustration I stopped working 2 months ago and now I got blocked form every possible way to contact them.

    Ah yes when they pussy out and don’t want to talk about it. I’m in a similar position right now.

    Although not _that_ bad

    What country are you in? That all sounds pretty illegal.

    Got to be India, no other country I've heard of can refuse to accept your resignation.

    Weird. Maybe you should Run away to become a monk?

    Having something for leverage like a company laptop helps. They threated to do the same for me but then I just picked their company laptop and came back to my home town and almost got sued legally, but they were more than happy to let me resign in exchange for returning their laptop that supposedly held "confidential" code and information (It was jackass legacy React code that was only good for triggering someone's OCD).

    If you have any such leverage available, you need to go for that. Otherwise it might be a lot more difficult.

    Sounds like an Indian company, there should be a law protecting you from this kind of behaviour. Can you sue them ?

    Not sure but pledging my loyalty to a multi billion dollar company during COVID seemed way better. You just have to make yourself useful enough so they can't let you go when shit hits the fan. And if you do decide to leave, legally they will do everything right.

    They're about as stupid as they are evil. The number of malicious changes a dev *could* have made in that timeframe to shut them down permanently is ridiculous.

    In the UK that sort of crap could easily cause them tons of legal problems too, but I've no idea how that works elsewhere.
