I was given an offer letter, accepted, signed, and joined the organization. The offer letter clearly stated that the probation period was for 6 months, with confirmation post that based on performance. However, immediately after the first month, the owner casually mentioned over a cup of coffee that it was not going to work and that my cost was too high. I was totally shattered. They had all their groundwork done by me and came up with this lame excuse, accompanied by many apologies, stating that they could not keep their promise. There was absolutely no mistake on my part, and they paid my first-month salary after a delay of 3 days.
After that, a couple of days later, she called back and mentioned that there was another project she was waiting for confirmation on and asked me to do it. I categorically told her that I had burnt my fingers once and was circumspect. She again apologized and asked me to forgive her. Our discussions went on for a couple of weeks, but since the project was not getting finalized, I informed her that I was not interested in continuing. I asked her for an experience letter with a clear reason for separation, which I have not yet received. Can I sue her?

Just move on in life. Suing is not a workable proposition. Only lawyers will benefit at your cost. What evidence do you have in writing? You find good employers, poor employers like there are good employees and poor employees.

Thank you Sir for the prompt response, have a small query, Is the employer bound to give an experience letter citing the reason for separation

There is no law warranting the employer to issue an experience letter. For argument's sake, even if it is issued, it could be certifying you of something which you may not feel happy about. So, getting an experience certificate as per your wish is a miracle.

Dear ANONYMOUS friend,
Your tenure of employment is only for one month. Forget everything. Don't even mention this experience anywhere and move on, as advised by our friend Nathrao. Such bad patches do come in everyone's life. One has to overcome them. Stay positive. All the best.
