Unjustified pressure for resignation from HR of MNC


11-Apr-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
I'm Regional Manager of a Japanese MNC – head office at Gurgaon - joined here 2 years back. I am confirmed employee and got good increment after my appraisal on last August 2018. Also I got incentives several quarters in last 2 year. I never received any mail or verbal communication frm my reporting boss or HR or from anyone in the company - regarding my performance or any Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) or as such anything regarding performance. Actually I was always among top 3 performer all India. Now for last few months our division is incurring loss due to wrong strategic decisions. This has mainly happened due to wrong strategic planning decided by our business head. Now HR calling me & others & Forcing for resignation. In our Apptt. Letter it has written company can terminate with 1 month notice. But we've a mail from HR that company never fire any employees except poor performers & that also we give prior notice with time to develop the performance. What should I do ?

Hello please read your appointment letter carefully as you are bound by the appointment letter due to contract act. From your complaint I presume you are being told verbally to tender resignation. Well you have remedy for Civil, Criminal and industrial disputes but first you should approach/write higher management regarding mounting forceful pressure without any poor performance thereafter you can file a criminal complaint for breach of trust, threat and forcing and you can go to Labour Commissioner if you qualify definition of workmen and file complaint for illegal trade practice for termination and lastly you can go to civil court for injunction and declaration
