In the chat, the employees discussed leaving the firm after receiving their paychecks.
Another screenshot allegedly had one of them telling their employer that she had left the chat but was “pulled” back into it.
“But I have not spoken anything ill about you since then,” the worker said.

Regardless, a heartbroken and disappointed Khalieda said she demanded resignation letters from the staff members involved within 24 hours.
She additionally questioned why they acted in the manner that they had.
According to WOB, Khalieda wished for the 12 employees to find a better employer with more suitable co-workers at their next workplace.
