Many old employees have taken to Linkedin to raise their grievances to this. The Linkedin also has accounts of past employees of Byju’s, raising their grievances on the work culture in the company.
The updated media policy also comes at a time when the company is planning the restructuring and streamlining, with the new, India CEO Arjun Mohan on board. The media policy also said that, without prior approval from the company, the employees should not interact with any media house or publications, bqprime reported.
The company, in the document on the policy said, “any violation of this will be taken seriously by the company and may result in appropriate disciplinary and legal action being initiated against you.” Further, the policy spelled out the rules that the employees were to stick to, while posting on social platforms like, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and on such similar platforms. Moreover, the employees are also to carry a disclaimer like – “opinions are my own and do not represent the views of the organisation I am currently working for,” in any posts or interactions to the company.
