In the clip, she said that she stumbled across a secret WhatsApp group chat that 12 of her employees had started without her.

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.

Another screenshot of an Instagram story she posted showed a picture of her with the implicated staff members.

What did I do wrong? Why betray me?

Khalieda expressed her sadness over the turn of events and even apologised to her staff for failing to be a leader with whom they could work easily. Be that as it may, she filed a police report regarding the incident, which she announced via a Facebook post on 24 Nov.
