Well, these are times of recession and being a fresher it is difficult to get a job. And even if you manage to get one, the companies are duping people in giving them the agreed upon salary. Certain technical terms are suddenly propping up when they are handing you over the pay- check which was not discussed when you were recruited.
This is the first time i'm using the blog to talk about a personal grievance, because i'm clueless about what to do, how to deal with the situation, how to register my protest, because given the situation in the market i just cannot resign. Currently, i'm working in a MNC as copy- editor. Before this fraud, i just loved my job. I was happy editing the manuscripts. But everything changed with the arrival of the paycheck. the take-home what was agreed upon, suddenly isn't what i was supposed to take home, but less than that ( some sudden deductions have been made). I'm being told that i should have clearly asked what is my ' net take-home', which according to them means what i'm getting in-hand. ( I have worked earlier, though for brief periods only, as well but have never encountered such duplicity from the employer. But publishing industry, is new to me)
Moral of the story is that if you are a fresher in the field in these times of recession, be careful. If a fresher chance to read this blog please be careful while negotiating your salary and if someone experience in the job market happen to read this blog, please give some adivce.
