A recent graduate in Bengaluru has claimed they were asked to resign from a startup just weeks after joining, alleging nepotism after the owner's son took over similar duties.
A Bengaluru-based startup employee, a recent graduate, has come forward with allegations of nepotism after their short tenure with the company. The individual, who had relocated to the city at their own expense and faced prior unemployment, reportedly faced pressure to resign shortly after the owner's son joined the firm.
According to the employee's account, shared online, the owner's son began handling responsibilities that overlapped with their own role. This situation allegedly led to the demand for their resignation, raising concerns about unfair employment practices.
The incident has sparked a wider conversation about the prevalence of nepotism within family-owned businesses and the challenges faced by young professionals entering the workforce.
