[UPDATE 25/10/2024: After receiving our response and debunking their claims, the reviewer changed their entire review and claims, which were false and inaccurate. The reviewer has changed it to more false claims.]
Dear Neha, we take all feedback seriously and are committed to addressing any concerns. However, we must also address the inaccuracies and false claims made in your review to ensure a fair representation of our organization.
You joined our program in January 2023, and by February 21, 2023, your internship was mutually terminated due to repeated absences. We discussed your attendance record and expressed our concerns about these repeated absences multiple times, yet the issue persisted, resulting in a formal termination. We had hoped this would be a constructive experience for both parties, but ultimately, our responsibility is to uphold our organization’s needs and standards.
A copy of your termination letter, dated February 21, 2023, is available with us upon request.
Despite your termination, we extended the stipend perk to you. On February 15, 2023, we transferred the stipend to the US-designated account you specified, belonging to a different individual. We informed you of the transfer completion and provided you with the tracking code and other details to confirm the transfer on your end. Additionally, we reached out to our payment partner at your request, who confirmed that the transfer had been delivered successfully and provided the transaction ID of the transfer (recipient bank), which we shared with you. They also informed us that no inquiry or complaint had ever been received from the recipient’s side, contradicting what you reported to us. We advised you to follow up directly with the recipient, as our team has fulfilled all responsibilities regarding payment and communication in February 2023.
We find it deeply concerning that in September 2024 — over a year and a half later — you are making these claims on multiple platforms. At Klatch, we are committed to maintaining transparency and professionalism in all our engagements. We ask that any concerns be shared accurately, as mutual respect and honesty are essential for a constructive workplace experience.
