TCS Employee Suspended for Reporting Security Issue Involving Manager: Here's What Happened

tcs employee suspended for reporting security issue involving manager: here’s what happened

A Reddit user’s post ignited a discussion after he alleged that he was terminated from his position at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) after reporting a security issue. The individual’s post on the popular social media platform garnered significant attention, sparking a wave of responses from concerned users.

Using the handle @Personal_Stage4690, he posted on the ‘Developers India’ subreddit, saying, “I reported a security incident in tcs where my manager ware (was) making employees use their personal laptops and sharing login credentials. According (to) the tcs whistleblower policy no action can be taken against (the) whistleblower but today i received a suspension notice.”

He further elaborated that, owing to the strained rapport with HR and their manager, they perceived a lack of support from him. Seeking guidance from the Reddit community, the individual posed the question, “What should I do in this situation?”

The post swiftly garnered the attention of users, who provided a multitude of suggestions and advice.

A user advised, “Raise it on LinkedIn. Tagging higher officials of Tata group. (Not only TCS). All this act is against, Tata code of conduct. Spread this like a wild fire on x, linkedin and other social media platforms.”

Another suggested, “Raise this issue with TCS ethics committee. They will definitely look into this. When I was in TCS ILP i remember there was an altercation between the faculty and one of the associate from our batch. The faculty told the associate that they will fail him in the finals and they did. He reported them to ethics committee and a team came to ILP center to investigate. The associate was later passed.”

While the original poster (OP) contended that the company disregarded their Whistleblower policy, TCS’s policy, easily accessible online, explicitly states that the company “condemns any form of discrimination, harassment, victimization, or any other unfair practice against Whistleblowers.” For those unfamiliar, a whistleblower is an individual who reports misconduct affecting the public interest to an authorized person or organization.
