EAsking for friend.
He was on bench for 1 year.
He was hired as a fresher but since day 1
I stead of giving project his manager is asking him to do his personal task like editing PPTs Excel etc.
Also he asked him to relocate 2-3 times different cities.
He refused once but HR called him forced and threatened him to join in other city.
He was stuck there, team was very bad, Tamil project manager so didn’t like him, no proper feedback on roles and responsibilities no KT. Then he raised the issue but no one listen to his mails.
Eventually escalation happened and other teammates put blame on him and his project was over.
He was on the bench for a few months.
Later HR asked him to resign willingly as there are no projects for him.
He is on PIP.
What should he do? -

MThis feels like I’m reading about my own past experience with Wipro.
I was with Wipro for 3 years and had to resign when I found myself in the same situation as your friend. My first project was great—I had a good team and built a strong rapport with them. But due to a ramp-down, I had to leave the project and was on the bench for a month.Eventually, I was assigned to a project in another city, which turned out to be the worst decision of my life. The team and overall environment were absolutely terrible. I received no support from my teammates, and my manager humiliated me in front of everyone. I felt completely alone in that entire ODC.
Eventually, I was relieved from that project, only to be put on a PIP. After enduring endless mental torture from both HR and my manager, I finally told them I would resign. I expected a one-month notice period, but they gave me just two weeks. It felt like they had been waiting for me to quit.
What followed were countless interviews, living off my savings, and even going hungry at times. But after months of hardship and effort, I finally managed to land a job in a different field.
I wouldn’t say I’m extremely happy in my current job, but it’s far better than my time at Wipro.
So if I were to give your friend advice, I’d suggest they consider resigning and actively look for better opportunities.

FDont resign right away. Prepare for interviews and try to get a new offer. It’ll easily take a few months for them to fire you. You can get a free salary meanwhile.

PDO NOT RESIGN
if it is not working for the company, they would simply fire you. the fact that they are asking to resign, is proof that they have done something illegal.
talk with a corporate lawyer and a labour lawyer. he might get a good pay if he doesn’t resign.

HI second this. Make sure the HR regrets it. Start recording or transcript ing everything. Not in ur mobile but in office teams call and record it. With or without her permission. Just say you will reach both the ceo and the he person manager. If he dies not support then managers manager. Squeeze them by their own lack of patience

EDidn’t your friend see this coming? If he is in PIP, there is clearly a reason for it. He should have looked for a job after his last project got over.
Also, I will suggest you not to believe everything that your friend says. This is only one sided story. And PEOPLE LIE!
This looks pretty much like he had a good time taking salary for a year while being on bench and not working. Can you imagine that HR tried to place him in projects across Wipro wherever there was a vacancy but he couldn’t fit or wasn’t accepted?
He should resign and start looking for a job. Preferably not mention his Wipro employment on his CV for now as it would be difficult for him to land a job with it.

SWarning: Long Read, TLDR in the end
In the face of workplace adversity, individuals are often presented with two broad options: to resign and seek another job, or to confront the issue through formal, often legal, means. From a psychological perspective, each path reflects a different coping mechanism—avoidance versus confrontation—and each comes with its own emotional and mental implications.
Resignation, though frequently seen as a defeat or an escape, can also be perceived as a form of self-preservation. It offers immediate relief from stress, toxicity, or injustice. For many, quitting is the easier and quicker option, allowing them to move forward without enduring prolonged emotional strain. However, this route may also come with lingering feelings of powerlessness, unresolved conflict, or self-doubt.
On the other hand, choosing to confront workplace issues—whether through internal grievance mechanisms or legal action—is often regarded as the “right” way from an ethical or justice standpoint. It is a courageous stand against perceived wrongs and can lead to systemic changes. However, it is also an emotionally taxing and time-consuming journey. The individual must prepare for prolonged stress, uncertainty, and potential retaliation, which can take a toll on mental health.
The psychological trade-off between these options lies in short-term relief versus long-term justice. While resignation may bring peace quickly, it might not bring closure. Fighting back might offer a sense of empowerment and justice, but it demands resilience and support. Ultimately, the choice depends on an individual’s values, psychological readiness, and support system.
In conclusion, both paths have psychological consequences. What matters most is that the individual makes an informed decision aligned with their personal well-being, ethics, and life circumstances.
