He claimed that the company had implemented a hiring freeze shortly after his employment, leaving him responsible for the department's responsibilities.

Additionally, the worker said his KPIs were not communicated properly, and no appraisal was conducted during the review period. Isolated from his colleagues, he felt unsupported and struggled to cope with the situation. When he decided to resign, the manager became even more hostile, blaming him for not finding additional staff earlier and causing difficulties now that he was leaving.
