I had a [similar](https://dev.shivagaire.com.np/linkedin-client-rce-backdoor-n...) encounter before. Jobs are scarce and this kind of targeted dev attacks semms to be more frequent these days.

Someone messaged me on LinkedIn pitching a project idea. The repo he sent had a remote code execution backdoor in it. This is what it did and how I survived the linkedin lead that turned malicious with a RCE backdoor

"God Talks With Arjuna: The Bhagavad Gita" transliteration by Swami Paramhamsa Yogananda had surpassed all the interpretations of Gita for me and implanted a different perspective on Body, Mind, and Intellect from the Bhagwat Perspective.

They denied to give me termination letter, hence I can't do any thing legally from the labor law view point.

I was on the one month notice period after resignation of which only two weeks were remaining. Management just did this to satisfy their ego.

Tell HN: Terminated for Refusing to Work on Weekend

sambhu — Wed, 05 Apr 2023 10:27:10 +0000

I was terminated from my job last week because I refused to work on the weekend due to a terrible migraine. I informed the company's P&C, but they didn't take my complaint seriously. Since the company is under the influence of managers and extreme groupism, I couldn't do much about it legally, especially since they refused to provide me with a termination letter.

I had been working with the company for over 5 years and 8 months, and I had never had any issues with previous managers. However, I had multiple arguments with my current manager over the past two months due to expectations to work on weekends.

The P&C decided to early release me, but they defamed me in an internal email sent to all employees working currently, which has greatly impacted my mental state. I'm afraid to post anything on LinkedIn until I receive my experience letter, but my past co-workers have been vocal about the incident in Linkedin.

I only didn't inform my acting manager about my migraine, but I told my co-workers about it on the same day. I feel devastated by the whole ordeal, as this company was my first job after graduation, and I had been a loyal employee with consistent growth and promotion over these 5 years.
