I've joined a manufacturing organization; this was an MNC based in Chennai. After joining, I came to know that I had been recruited instead of a person who met with an accident 2 months back and was hospitalized until now (by the way, he was receiving treatment through the corporate insurance scheme). The management was planning to let him go once he joined after his recovery. The reason given to me was that as he would not be as active as before for the next few months until he regained fitness, the company does not want to waste its time on this and has recruited me.
I wonder as this could happen to anyone, including me in this organization, and the company would do the same thing to me if I were hospitalized.
Also, two of my colleagues were forced to resign, and they are now serving their notice period. They have only been with this company for 4 months, and the management has threatened to terminate them as they were not pleased with their performance.
Here, I have a question about how a new person with only 4 months of experience in this company can prove themselves to be an expert and how the management can decide that they do not meet their expectations.
As I am new to this MNC culture, kindly advise me on whether I should continue in this organization. I have another offer with a comparatively lower salary, and I joined here due to this difference. Also, guide me on whether there would be any legal issues if I quit within 1 week of joining or if I should continue in the same organization.

Sanjeev has raised some questions, and I will raise some more. What do you mean by "I was recruited instead of..."? If he was not recruited, who is paying his medical bills? As you are a new recruit to this company, do you think you will be entitled to sick leave? If you were the employer of a person who goes off sick, for whatever reason, for over two months, will you wait for the person to return, or will you fill up the vacancy to get the work done to meet customers' requirements?
May we know how much work experience you have?

@ Sanjeev - The company's HR manager gave me the reason as the existing employee (who is on sick leave) will be terminated upon his joining, of course with all his settlements.
@nashbramhall - In fact, the medical bills have been paid by the insurance company that has a corporate tie-up with our organization.
I have over 11 years of work experience in engineering companies.

Seek your advice on whether I can continue here or go for the other job with less salary. This was not an MNC. Should I have to face any consequences if I quit within a week.

Greetings,
This discussion has raised and answered most of the questions. Here are my thoughts, no matter which firm you work with:
- Address your fears. You are bound to feel insecure when you work for an organization with such turbulence. You can't be working, let alone performing in a firm that is not aligned with your values.
- Having said that, what about the recognition and career progress in the firm? How does the management deal with the top and medium performers? What performance improvement programs are arranged by the firm and initiated by the employee?
- Consider the competitiveness of the firm, which may lead to strong reactions and low tolerance for any low-performer. Every company would work on these principles, with variations in the degree of implementations.
- What has been the impact on those who have lost their jobs? Although every situation is unique, a balanced overview of the complete process would address your fears.
- Try to gain insights into the career path of the top performers, focusing on the time period they took to progress from one level to another and the skills they acquired.
- Once you know that, assess your own preparations through the training and projects you have planned.
- The point is to make yourself competitive so that no matter where you work, you can prosper. Plan your certifications and qualifications upgrade in a way that ensures you remain employable.
Finally, if the firm hired you, they must have found you fit to deliver. Keep discussing your growth and learning with your reporting leaders. This should help you improve further. Wish you all the best!

Dear,
If you leave, the MNC will not even continue with the sick guy. They will rather hire another person if you quit. A solution could be that you accept the challenge of this job and, if possible, help the sick guy to adjust in the organization. Remember, you have another offer on the table.

A very simple question: Has management conveyed this to you officially that you have been hired because of that person, or has it been conveyed by someone who is authorized to inform the new employee why he or she has been hired by the company.
Just relax and perform your duties well. In any organization, there is always a tendency for employees, either from the same department or group, to pass on these kinds of remarks or raise questions about the selection of some employees.
As regards to the person, it is the legal obligation of an organization to provide medical cover/insurance to all those employees who do not come under the ESIC scheme. It is good to know that your company is taking care of its employees.
Switching over is not the solution as it would lead to a gap in your CV, which can affect your chances of getting a good offer from other companies.
