NEW DELHI : Sanjay Kheer, 52, was in the hospital waiting to see his doctor when he texted his boss, requesting a few more days off to recover from surgery for oral cancer.
Within minutes, his boss replied, telling him not to return. The financial services company was in a crunch because of the coronavirus pandemic and downsizing was the only way out, the boss explained.It’s been three months since Kheer received that text.
He hasn’t got his final settlement and his savings are running out, especially since he’s been through expensive surgery for a serious illness.
