TCS Lay Off: Thousands of Jobs in Danger
These days, such an atmosphere has been created in the country’s largest IT company TCS that people are working in the office. Those who worked for the company for 10-15 years, are now being excluded in one stroke. No reason is being told, just calling and said, either resignation itself or will be terminated. The company had earlier said that only 2% i.e. about 12,000 people will be removed, but in reality this number can be more than 30,000. It is said that employees and IT unions, who are constantly opposing.
Termination found in lieu of 13 years of loyalty
According to a news control news, a Pune Tcs Employees, who told their story on the condition of anonymity, told how he was dropped even after working in TCS for 13 years. He said, my project was over, then new work was not being found. I spoke to different teams, but did not get any answer. HR and RMG used to call and inquire again and again. I was even falsely accused that I am working in another company. Finally, he was asked to forcibly resign. When I refused, they were directly terminated. A recovery of Rs 6-8 lakh was also sought from above, out of which I paid half myself. Today I am staying at my friend’s house. Wife and children are in the village. Could not tell them the truth. Thousands of employees like these are also working fearfully about their jobs. No one knows when a number comes.
Whose job will be being decided through internal list
Many employees said that the managers of the company have a ‘fluidity list’, which have the names of those who have to be removed. This list is neither made on the basis of skill, nor of experience. Many people are also in this list who have essential skills, who passed the interview, yet they are not being given the project. Another employee said that if your name comes in that list, then you will not get any work as you want. HR takes back and says, resign himself, otherwise we will terminate.
Fear of not getting a job elsewhere
Many people are not able to come forward and say their point because they are afraid that there will be no other job when going against the company. And if you make a case in the court, then the fight will last for years, time and mental stress will all be different. Another employee said, the company lies to the clients whether this employee is ill or a family issue, while in truth she is removing it from the project.
Union said the company broke trust
At the same time, many unions of IT sector such as FITE, Unite, AITEU are openly saying that TCS is wrongly removing people. FETE secretary Prashant Pandit said, “30-35 years old employees who were close to retirement were excluded in just 30 minutes.” UNITE general secretary separate Velkin said that some people who still had projects were wrongly put on the ‘bench’. Later, when he found a new project, RMG and HR did not let him go into it either.
Fear increased from new policy
In June 2025, the TCS implemented a new policy stating that every employee will have to be active in the ‘bilibble’ ie the project at least 225 days in a year. If this does not happen, the job will be affected. Apart from this, now no employee can live on a bench for more than 35 days. Earlier, RMG used to allot the project, now the employees have to run themselves.
The company has kept silence
Tcs Currently, there is no official statement on this issue, as the company is in the silence period before its second quarter results. Everyone’s eyes are now on 9 October, when the company will release its quarterly results and perhaps the first time it talks openly on this dispute.
