India, June 2 -- A Delhi techie's bizarre corporate crisis has sparked a massive online debate after their startup demanded an unexpected financial sacrifice. On Reddit, a software engineer revealed that their company suffered a staggering Rs.2 crore loss due to a critical testing error committed by a single employee. Instead of holding the individual accountable, management requested written consent from the entire team for a 20-30% pay cut over the next two months to split the cost. The techie turned to the internet to ask if they should refuse, demand equity, or jump ship.

"Company asking for a 20-30% pay cut for 2 months due to a Rs.2 Crore loss caused by another employee. What should I do?" the individual posted.
