Overview

  • In a mid-July Reddit post she said that after refusing his one-on-one indirect proposal, her European manager began delaying her salary, micromanaging tasks beyond her role and publicly reprimanding her.
  • Her account went viral as online users urged her to document evidence, pursue legal action under India’s POSH law or seek new employment.
  • The firm’s 10-person fully remote structure leaves no dedicated HR team to handle formal harassment complaints or grievance procedures.
  • She continues in the position because it offers flexible hours and valuable family time despite ongoing workplace hostility.
  • The case has reignited scrutiny of power imbalances in small remote companies and gaps in employee protections against managerial abuse.
