Amid the major layoff controversy around TCS, the company is facing major backlash on social media for the alleged ways it has adopted to cut short the workforce. Though a while ago, the controversy was around allegedly laying off the ones with longer tenure, Forum For IT Employees (FITE) has accused the company of laying off employees even with shorter tenure through internal assessment examinations.
Accusing the company of adopting such measures, the industry body took to its X handle, “It’s no longer just long-timers. Even employees with barely 2 years of tenure are being forced to resign.”
The post further stated that a woman was denied alimony at her divorce proceedings because she had a TCS job, who has now been left without income due to the layoff drive.
FITE claimed, “Unrealistic internal exams deciding people’s jobs. No transparency — employees are not shown their exam papers or results.”
It further questioned the eligibility criteria of scoring 70-80%, and lashed out saying, “Why not make it 100% if fairness is the goal? This system is being used to push people out, not evaluate skills.”
The body demanded that employees should be able to see their exam papers for fair evaluation, if the results are the determinants of their association with the company.
