The Employment agreements are like disclaimers of Insurance policy. It will have too complex english to understand in black and white.
There are illogical, qualitative and unethical conditions written in offer letters for example, "The employee can be asked to leave without giving any notice if he is found to be inferior capacity in executing the deliverables". The deliverables can not be measured in terms of meeting to an extent of 80%, 90% etc.

The employer Employee contract as other consumer contracts are lop sided . Its high time the employees read what they are signing up for . Mr.Mahindra needs to solve the root of the issue & not superficially apologize & make news out of it
