PIPs are issued based on IPFs(H1&H2) or are they based on final bands? My opinion is that they are based on IPFs only as IPFs signify the actual performance of the employee,while on the other hand,band signifies the relative performance i.e. when compared to others in the same unit. Pls post ur comments.

Agree with krish…. supervisors should be evaluated too…. and the GLS and TLS should get their H1 and H2 evaluated from there team members …. and then they must get the appraisal accordingly…

I think it's the time to have 360 degree appraisal in TCS.. so that team members can also appraise their supervisor...

I got a ‘D’ too.I was afraid that the internal politics would come to this and I would take the beating as I was the only outsider in the team.So I planned in advance got a call from ‘Accenture’ and would definitely resign.I would ask you guys to plan likewise.The entire rating system is a sham designed to give less pay to people even after good work and capablity.The company does this to save money and the HR’s support this.Don’t stay in their control use the company to learn the job and as soon as they start giving bad rating resign.

well… i was recently put into Pip….. my project was an internal one…. and yes to all the experienced TCSers….Internal projects suck….. never go for them….. well…. after being given no choice to choose my project…. i was never recognised as a good worker … i was always compared to the other ppl….. in fact the HR…. which was totally on my side initially saying that yes freshers are exploited here , was with me in the beginning for like 6-7 months…. when i had escalated the issue to the senior HR…. even they were very helpful(only in saying) that yes they wanna root out such bad element s from TCS….. now even after that i was put into Pip… under the bullshit of an excuse from my supervisor that he wants to mold me and make me a better worker….. where was all this consent and care 7 months ago before i complained to the HR ???
Soon after my Pip Initiation , even the HR suddenly talking rudely to me and telling me that if i dont perform i will have to leave the company….. now at the brink of my Pip closure….. my HR has already told me that its better for me to leave / resign the company rather than handing the termination letter,,, way before even my Pip rating has still to come out….. This clearly shows that these ppl (the team heads) had already decided to sack me…. because of wat?? a grudge they had??? ….. This my friends is how the middle management of TCS operates…… if any of you guys wanna know more …mail me at rockingbastard@gmail.com

PIPs based on appraisal ratings are more or less justified,but what can an employee do in cases the insecure idiotic management will put you in a plan just to make themselves feel good, and ensure that the career of a talented employee is marred! Companies like TCS call for an unbiased body, that will curb such unethical, and unprofessional actions by a company and protect basic employee rights.

My suggestion: TCS never believes in the fact that it's employees will work with 100 % accuracy and 100% faith. Hence stay in office for 15 hours. Work actually for 8 hours. This is the crux. Try to do a lot of work with 30% accuracy. You will be praised. Do not do work with 90 % accuracy because you will not be able to complete your work. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!! TCS is a global company. Experience certainty..

Alfan: They stopped firing people a long time ago, relax, they probably won't fire anybody after this except for guys got E rating.... You are especially safe as their primary target are ITAs, even ASE who got 2 Ds in H2 are safe and have not been fired, so relax sit back and enjoy doing nothing at TCS
