Warning to Job Applicants and Investors I want to share an important caution based on my personal experiences with two companies. Iwas recently terminated (PHK) by Liven in a manner that violated multiple Indonesian labor regulations. The company failed to follow proper procedures, including: ‘The mandatory 7-working-day prior notice requirement for probationary employees under Government Regulation No. 35 of 2021, Article 37 paragraph 4 Breach of verbal commitments and promissory estoppel under Articles 1338 and 1320 of the Indonesian Civil Code (KUHPerdata), particularly regarding explicit assurances from the CEO that caused me to decline other job opportunities Uniawful act in unilaterally canceling earned referral commissions (for 50+ referred candidates) on going under Article 1365 of the Indonesian Civil Code (KUHPerdata) Additional procedural violations included the complete absence of any prior warnings, reprimands, or due process before the ‘termination. I also experienced serious issues with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Indonesia. In addition to a unilateral termination during the probationary period that violated procedural requirements under Indonesian labor law {including lack of proper written warnings and due process), employees using Amazon identity posted degrading and defamatory comments in public forums, including: Statements such as "Thank you for being a bad example and little entertainment" "Did you go to McDonald's for happy meals?" They violate Article 433 of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) regarding defamation (pencemaran nama baik) and Article 441 of ‘the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) Ihave submitted the formal application for dispute resolution. The case has been officially received by Dinas Tenaga Kerja is now proceeding to Peradilan Hubungan Industrial (Industrial Relations Court). To all job applicants and potential investors: please exercise extreme caution before joining or investing in Liven or Amazon Web Services Indonesia. Strong due diligence on labor practices, employee treatment, compliance with Indonesian employment law, and corporate culture is essential. A company's approach to its people often reveals much about its overall governance and long-term sustainability. My goal is not to damage reputations but to help others make fully informed decisions. Protect your career and your investments by doing thorough research. If you are considering opportunities at either company, | strongly recommend reviewing all policies, documenting every agreement in writing, and understanding your rights under Indonesian labor law.
