Does job security a myth in Tata Consultancy ? Is it bcoz of their employee count,their layoffs were considered negligible % ?
I am hearing they do fire ppl before pandemic? But couldn't find much info on it..
Need this info, to finalize offer from TCS (which is offering comparatively less take home salary)

Yes they did fire but only contractual employees. I didn't hear anything about permanent employees.

It's a good company if you are looking for retirement

Better don't take TCS'S offer and serach for another some which doesn't fire.

Oh, wait, Let me think. They don't exist.

So, why creating this ruckus here. When you will be fired, you will be fired. Search for a new job. Move on. They are not snatching your skills, are they?

Even I am a ex tcser...from 2016 to 18... There was no issue at all.. But yes my manager used to tell me that TCS had fired so many employees during the great recession in 2008.. not after that..could be in small quantity.. but that's everywhere. No private organisation can gaurentee you job safety. As long as you are working. Join on high package and stay as long as you can. So tomorrow if they fire you.. you have earned more than enough to stay secured for few months/years

Yes firing due to consistent low performance is fine..but firing due to loss.of client or lack of projects is what we shud worry about in a organization...

TCS has more job security than competitors as of now. We don't know how the future will look though.

Ofcourse future we can't predict..but when i enquired with some senior folks (ex.tcs), they said tcs do layoff albiet in a smaller numbers..just want to know if anyone had known ppl who are asked to leave tcs...

They're probably jealous of your salary and offer. Take it easy, join TCS if the offer amount satisfies you!

like

Nobody has seen the future and who ever says seen it then must be lying.
So if you are afraid of lay off because of a big fat hike that you just got now then probably you are not worth of it.
People with top pkg always come into the retrenchment list but that only happens if you have made yourself redundant in the organization, so forget job security and work on how you continue proving yourself worth for the next position.

Yes..he got a job with good hike (in those pre pandemic days)... Only thing he missed was his base location...!

Had my annual review Friday (first year with the company). Boss awarded a 3% raise though she said my review was “90% positive.” Worth adding I got a 3% sign on bonus last year, so I’m basically at 0% raise. Nobody under me has gotten less than a 7% raise in the past year. Considering promotions + counter offers as well, it goes as high as 25%. I don’t feel a 3% raise matches a “90% positive” review and plan to bring up the cognitive dissonance I’m feeling. Any other tips or advice to add?
