Another said, “Dawn.com employees are not Dawn.com employees on paper. This also stops them from claiming their basic rights like medical cover or other benefits or gratuity or provident fund. This is also the reason staffers are scared of speaking up, because of no job security.”

So technically, Dawndotcom employees are not Dawndotcom employees on paper. This also stops them from claiming their basic rights like medical cover or other benefits, or gratuity or provident fund. This is also the reason staffers are scared of speaking up, cause no job security

Here is the series of tweets shared by the ex-employees:
Really triggered by this thread. Struggling to find the right words to explain what some colleagues and I went through at the same workplace. The tactics they used to bully people, especially the ones who had no options of leaving, was another level of sick. https://t.co/VkDCoEiief

I was forced to resign after months of bullying because I had asked for ONE day off for the launch of MY book. I had 50 paid leaves at the time (hadn't taken any of my annual leaves, had worked on all public holidays & had a record of hardly one sick leave a month).

Then they cut off my notice period and refused to pay me my month's salary, till I went directly to the HR dept, sat for hours only to find out that my dept had lied about me not showing up to work. HR believed me, said they didn't even need any proof to know my dept my lying.

All the articles coming from @dawn_com about mental health, women issues, labour laws, almost none of them is followed within the organization. Employees are often preferentially treated based on class, ideology and closeness to the management. https://t.co/s8ousizS5q

This is indeed a very sad picture, that a giant company is presenting. Dawn News was founded on Jinnah’s vision, and so it should at least show some compassion to its employees.
