Swati Ravi quit. Skcript paid full through 6 months maternity and full pay on half time after she returned (~2 months back). ₹100,000/month. She is going to Chargebee for money; called Skcript small (7 people). Told him she could quit even one day after returning, and that they should have put policies — she is using that now.
He feels used. Did a lot for the baby. Shocked at the sudden change.
Practice given: no clawback. Maternity already paid stays paid. Notice is the only lever. Do not match Chargebee. Do not write a stay-back maternity policy while angry. Accept, notice, handover, one sentence to the team. Do not put the baby on the table with her.
Asked him: what she owns, and whether she gave notice or dumped it today.
Do not mix with Swathy (CS) or Swaathi (wife). Three different people.
