Ask TCS to provide CCTV Footage of the incident. Incident from reputed company like TCS is really shocking. The new Management has destroyed all the legacy, core values and Trust of Tata Group. Everyone is greedy at Top.
Ratan Tata Sir can you see from the sky what these people have done to Tata Group. From the best company to worst, people have started hating TCS.
Yes, existing employees also suffering and experiencing the pressure due to new bench policy and managers taking advantage of it and harrassing the junior employees. RMG also not giving approval for allocation intentionally and HR is asking to resign after 35 days
TCS hr think that they are government employees and no need to work
They lost there loyalty.
Even Retail companies of TATA group follow similar kind of policy to terminate the employees work at entry level position
Tata group companies have lost the trust of the people once it had during Ratan Tata and other previous leader’s period.It has no more human core values it attached verry high importance rather than achieving high profits for the group companies.
The same employees who were onetime raking in profits for its companies are driven out ruthlessly in an inhumane way.
We once used to see Tata companies giving Advertisement in primetimeTV commercials placing society and community welfare as their primary objective while making profits is secondary.
It has lost its own long held image and prestige.
Yes I m agry
Moment reputation is achieved by wide publicity, these reputed companies shrewdly INDULGE in illegal activities against individual employee irrespective of whether there is substance or not. The same yardstick holds good for the professional firms and individual employee better read Novel “animal farm” to understand the reality
Well said ..they are treating people like they owned them … asking people to report 100km office which is far way from last work location…is switching home and travel 100km per day is easy task
Comments on the basis of the so called victim should not spoil Tata group hasty.
Let s wait for the police investigation
Yes the Hr behaving very badly, Hr advising RMG not to allocate the employee name is there on fluidity list, my 14yrs of service is ended with in 6days, unable to get jobs outside also as my age is 44
Stomach this Rotten Tata Sir worship. Rotten Tata Sir was no saint. TCS has been a rotten organisation for a very long time.
TCS response is bullshit. I am a TCSer and I am willing to give evidence that HR and RMG people are torturing it’s employees indiscriminately. In my location, a woman employee was groped to check if she had any recording device. She was crying at the incident. She decided not to report to police earing her reputation. This is not Ratan Tata’s company anymore. It is s
Arti’s Sathe land.
TCS HR and RMG are behaving so rude. They are doing whatever they want.
An incident I want to highlight- RMG Ankita from Noida yamuna location was shouting loudly in the RMG bay saying to “put her on stop pay” just because she was writing the emails and asking for the justification of the wrong claims RMG and HR deliberately made and raised. And suddenly she was put to stop pay and access blocked so that she can no more raise her voice.
Govt should take strict action against TCS…Inhuman things are going on.
Very true…..Ratan Tata Sir, you took decades to build a legacy…..your legacy is getting destroyed by the new people
100 years Tata group reputation is being destroyed in 100days.
This is the reason always company should have family group associated else there is no ethics.
The employee who were bringing money are thrown out with physical abuse
If all employees strike then see how a company deliver client projects and how many employees they fire…
I am also a victim of TCS. I lost my job despite joining the company with so much excitement and trust. Even while I was working on a project, I was released to the bench. Although I was selected for other projects, RMG did not provide approvals. Finally, after 25 days, HR asked me to resign. I felt very disheartened, and it has been a really bad experience.
CC tv footage should be made public . After demise of Shri Ratan Tata , the ethics and values of this esteemed company has gone for a toss. Now it is coming to headlines only for wrong reasons . Earlier this company was considered at par with government owned companies for the best reason of job security though the pay bands were much smaller. May good sense prevails upon the new management.
Yes, managers are behaving cruel. Board should interfere in this matter rather than asking profits.
I am an ex employee of TCS Mumbai. I too have faced such a scenario where I was held back from my promotion even though I had passed my promotion assessment, besides my appraisal was done bad by the operations manager. The VP, HR, Operations Manager, all departmental heads were involved in harassing me in some way or the other. I approached the legal team, they too were off no help since all were jointly playing their games. Finally, was Helpless and I resigned from my job with TCS.
None of the higher management employees follow the policy of handling concerns with transparency, professionalism and respect.
Even I am an ex-employee of TCS resigned in Dec 2024, as i observed values, ethics and integrity was compromised at almost every level. HR head Milind Lakkad used HR as puppets and hardworking employees became the victims who were forced for targets, Overtime leaving the associates frustrated and no job satisfaction. One can imagine the height of TCS HR mindless offer to an employee of 15+ years experience of package 4.5 LPA and after continuing the dedicated service of 9+ years remains the same with no change. We have such a sucking management in TCS since our Godly figure Ratan Tata handed over full responsibilities to the non deserving and corrupt high level management, may be few are exceptions.
These big companies has many issues .Same with Infosys too ,in the public they keep talking about their policies.emp respect and support but inside the office No one care abt emp ur are just number for them.ur life and career dependent on ur boss moode.
Most of them are moody kind of , created a group of some people including HR. in this way they can do anything. Some time they really dnt care if some one from ur family is dying. Shame less people.
Some emp working from last 20 year.they are performing good but they are getting nothing or very very less amount in the name of increment. Very shameful.
Tcs talking about transparent and fair grievance redressal policy is the biggest joke and lie
TCS used to be one of the best company for employees and I have been working here for last 15 years but now things are not the same. It has become a place for top greedy people who just want to earn money and no value for mid level and low level employees.
Yes it’s true after RATAN TATA SIR.. demise everyone is thinking they are the boss of company.. it’s a public sector company.. now current situation..First HR Team and lots of so called manager’s need to terminate them self asap.. to secure these legacy of THE TATA GROUP to help everyone in this country..
Hope TCS is strictly abiding by Tata Code of Conduct. I have doubts on this.
As a citizen , We must protect the legacy of TCS, and Sir Ratan TATA, for their contribution to the country.
My appeal to those suffering is to suffer for the country. Do not publicize the reputation of any business as it impacts the lives of the entire nation and those who work at that company.
Be a skill soldier and Upskill. God takes care of birds and flowers to feed and clothe, you are far more valuable and can do a lot more in your life, God will support your talents, but not your bitterness. Forgive and be blessed to grow.
It’s all done with TATA once Ratan Tata left. Team member in TCS software became employees and now they come to the stage of slaves… These employee union is doing things for name sake. End result TCS with full of Greedy owners made TCS software as Graveyard for employees.
Same thing happening to me .HR forcing me to travel even I m on medical leaves .
This is a classic example of how greedy management destroyed culture of best Indian company for own profit, even client will think twice to give project because TCS has lost its culture, stability and all good resources either left the organisation or looking for better opportunity out side and want to leave toxic TCS. I urge govt of India to take control of affairs before TCS fails and many more people lose job.
The environment in tcs is like hell
All fraud in the Indian IT’S earned huge margin and paid less salary to its employees in a unethical way.They are simply supplying to manpower to mostly to US and earned in dollars.If US stops these companies are nowhere.Let the government check their margin.
Even my frnds who are freshers were asked to resign after not being allocated to any project. When they tried to ask for clarification, they were blackmailed by HRs that he will be imposed POSH if he don’t resign. They were not ready to answer for any of the questions. They are TCS HRs or some thugs sitting over there blackmailing us? Project allocation for freshers is something that they should give us. We are not experienced to have contacts and get into one.
NOTHING TO COMMENT.
TCS HR are worst they should show cctv footage to public
After sir Ratan Tata demise this Tata group is not trustable. Now Tata group like other Indian companies where has no values remain.
TCS internal ethics council is baised and they always target junior peoples. Management / leadership peoples never gets questioned.
Personal experience of TCS Gandhinagar Location.
All HR,RMG head and People managers who are not doing any technical delivery to customer should be fired immediately. They are the overhead on the company. The top management says there will not be any hike this year and they themselves take 4 to 6% hike eventhough they earn in crores.
Top management salary should be reduced to half as they don’t bring business every day. The actual work is done by Marketing personal
Worst the new CEO is one who is playing with employees no proper hikes nothing if want to save money to company he cen reduce his salary not the employees, toxic environment now a days
Worst organisation after Ratan ji left and management started making money internally ..not seeing any growth as well as in company and stocks
