It's seriously bad that he's doing it now and not a month ago

It's the 24th.6 is really stealing

When did you say that Ropesh talked to you about it?"

Oz: "On Thursday (June 26, 2025 - D.Y.)".

  1. On the same day, the plaintiff, through his attorneys, sent a warning letter to the akamai (A/Y).
  2. The next day (July 2, 2025), an exchange of e-mail correspondence began between the plaintiff and officials at Akamai, in light of which the hearing was postponed to July 14, 2025 (N7 to the Akamai Police Department).
  3. On July 13, 2025, the plaintiff sent a letter to Akamai (Akamai/N6) In other words:

"Following the official summons to a hearing regarding my dismissal from the company due to organizational changes, after considering the matter, I have decided to waive my right to a hearing, which is entirely a hearing for the sake of appearances.  I recognize that the decision to cancel my position in the framework of the merger between the companies is a legitimate business decision, which is within the framework of the company's managerial prerogative, and therefore I have no arguments against the decision to cancel the position itself.  However, what is illegitimate, and even caused me health distress upon receipt of the official notice, is the timing of the dismissal date, which was done in bad faith and deliberately, so that I would lose the rights to which I am entitled in the event of dismissal in the framework of a reorganization during the year from the date of closing, and in particular the entitlement to receive the acceleration amount deposited in the trust, which I am entitled to receive in any case of dismissal during the first year after closing..  You gave me the official summons to the hearing on July 1, 2025, when my direct manager, Mr. Oz Golan, stated to me that the decision to dismiss me had been communicated to him by Rupesh Chokshi on Thursday, June 26, 2025.  According to the information I have, the anniversary of the closing is June 25, 2025.  In other words, you didn't even bother to create the appearance of a practical timing, but rather you acted in a timing whose sole purpose was to prevent me from my rights.  Please note that I do not intend to go over the way you have behaved.  Therefore, I have filed a statement of claim and a request for an injunction with the Labor Court, and I intend to fight for my full rights in the legal process."

  1. On July 15, 2025, Roofash decided to terminate the plaintiff's employment at Akamai (Ekmai/7) In other words:

"Following the summons we sent you on July 1, 2025, which was postponed to July 14, 2025, in which you were summoned to a hearing intended to allow you to present your arguments before making a decision whether or not your position is unnecessary, we note that you have waived your right to present your position (by email on July 13, 2025).  In your email dated July 13, 2025, you confirm that the decision to terminate your position as part of the integration between the companies is a legitimate business decision, within the framework of the company's administrative authority, and that you have no objections to the decision to terminate the position.  You also point out that the dismissal hearing is a fraud, which is both unfounded and denied.  The outcome of the hearing to discuss the proposed dismissal of the position was not determined in advance.  If you had decided to appear for a subpoena for a dismissal hearing, you had the opportunity to share your perspective on the proposed terminations, ask questions, and explore additional alternatives to terminating your position with us in more detail.  You should also indicate in your email dated July 13, 2025 that you are referring to commercial agreements that you have been a party to since the purchase of Noname in June 2024.  It would be inappropriate for us to say about such commercial agreements, as this is a completely separate matter, which has nothing to do with the decision to consider your dismissal.  In light of this, after a careful examination of all the facts, as presented in the summons to the hearing, a decision was made to terminate your employment in order to align the management structure and create the optimal organizational structure for you Global Security Technology Development Group ...  According to the employment agreement that was drawn up and signed on June 12, 2024 between the plaintiff and the company...  You are entitled to 30 days' advance notice, which will be paid to him as advance notice allowance...  Your employment with the company will end on July 16, 2025 and will include payment for the aforementioned notice period..."
