Reddit user solutions for employees

As the post went viral, many users offered different suggestions. One user advised: Raise it on LinkedIn. Marking senior officials of the Tata Group. (Not just TCS). This entire act is against the Tata code of conduct. Spread this like wildfire on x, LinkedIn and other social media platforms.

Another user advised him not to be a whistleblower as they would have no benefits in life. They said, “But then TCS will file a defamation lawsuit against him.” Even if things become legal, other employers try to avoid hiring such employees, knowing that this person is responsible for everything that happens in the organization , could become legal. Trust me, no organization is perfect and they will stay away from such employees especially when there are so many candidates.

My personal opinion: Just change jobs and focus on personal development. I have never seen a whistleblower take advantage of this in my life.

Another user advised them to wait until the investigation is complete. A suspension is not a termination, so remain calm and cooperate with the security team. Later, your suspension may be lifted and you may continue with your project. Wait until they do a thorough exam on you.”
