# Work a Day First, Then We'll Send the Offer Letter

**[TRUE STORY]** — by Candidate · via LinkedIn (viral post)

She cleared several rounds at an established Kolkata firm and was told to join the same day. Asked to start Monday instead: no. Asked for the offer letter before she began: also no — work one day first, the letter would follow. The pay was under market, with no night-shift allowance and no transport home. The ask, from the person who shared it, was for basic professionalism and transparency. The company, notably, was never named.
