Most of the concerns are true.

TCS has failed in huge margin to retain valuable resources ( i mean truly skilled employees who can very well present/showcase/deliver things to Clients ).

You have to understand one thing, TCS’s presence in IT industry is since 1968 and there are many white elephants in TCS who are currently working as region head or ISU portfolio head or GL, BRMs etc… who are contributing to TCS’s overhead cost. If you have joined TCS as fresher during past 4- 6 yrs, your growth in TCS is so sluggish. Either you should have a Godfather who can push you through the ladder. This is so true in TCS. Talk to the manager in his mother tongue regularly and u can be assured of better role and client place of your expectation. It sucks.. True. It does. Recently, TCS got a new Client and the project is full of only those associates with common region ( or mother tongue ) starting from BRM, GL, manager till the fresher.

All these do demotivate and its sad that we are working in TCS and forced to forget abt Ethics. ( Guess wat, hardly anyone can think of TATA code of conduct ). And, HR????? its employer’s human resource and not employees. This support group is totally nonfunctional and forced to listen to the GLs or Account heads and their only role is to see make sure backend adjustments of appraisals (H1, H2, Annual ) or Promotions are taken care as per the GLs wish.

I feel this happens in almost all companies , might be less in non india based MNCs.

Here are the highlights on TCS
- Managers or leads have no Ethics concern as their supervisors are the same and have to please them.
- Worst hit employees are freshers ( 0 – 3yrs exp ) and 4 – 6yrs exp TCSers joined as freshers who are deprived of package, promotions, roles.
- HR is so nonfunctional and short staffed. They work primarily on some reporting and junk process stuffs with <3% interaction with Employees.
- Main thing, there are many 10+ exp TCSers who are so noncompetitive, but in managorial posts with zero ethics and burden to TCS salary expense.
- Its easy to build bondage with your supervisor if you talk him with his mother tongue(mainly Malyalam & Telugu ) and so u will get good Appraisals and opportunities.
- Lists goes on…. cant express this in PULSE ( TCS feedback portal )

Time is ticking for me to put on papers. Its just that i have some hope as i was able to work with few very good managers and BRMs who followed and tried their level best to encourage Professional ethics.

Also, even if i quit, i think its like going from one pit to another pit with similar unethical issues.

I came to know from that project associates that Sudarshan was reprimanded and threatened by the project managers very badly just few minutes back when he did this gruesome act.

So many times I have written to HR about this Threatening mechanism of TCS managers and continuous violation of Tata Code of Conduct (so called) but all in vein. That place have culture and process in which 3 to 5 managers/leads will surrounds one associate in separate room and threaten ,blackmail , and humiliate him like anything . Of course no need to mention that environment and management is highly biased and decremental and favor only on the basis of Region and Mother Tongue.

One of the main reason for this suicide is that HR is highly Incapable and non-sense lady and she doesn’t have any morality.

Autocratic , extortionist and highly biased conduct and work culture is becoming trade for TCS Bangalore.
