A Reddit user recently shared a troubling experience on the platform. They claimed they were fired from TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) after reporting a security issue. Using the handle @Personal_Stage4690, they posted on the ‘Developers India’ subreddit, saying, “I reported a security incident in tcs where my manager ware (was) making employees use their personal laptops and sharing login credentials. According (to) the tcs whistleblower policy no action can be taken against (the) whistleblower but today i received a suspension notice.”
They also explained that due to their strained relationship with HR and their manager, they felt they couldn’t rely on them for support. They asked the Reddit community, “What should i do in this situation?”
The post quickly caught the attention of users, who offered various suggestions. One user advised, “Raise it on LinkedIn. Tagging higher officials of Tata group. (Not only TCS). All this act is against, Tata code of conduct. Spread this like a wild fire on x, linkedin and other social media platforms.”

Another suggested, “Raise this issue with TCS ethics committee. They will definitely look into this. When I was in TCS ILP i remember there was an altercation between the faculty and one of the associate from our batch. The faculty told the associate that they will fail him in the finals and they did. He reported them to ethics committee and a team came to ILP center to investigate. The associate was later passed.”
While the OP asserted that the company overlooked their Whistleblower policy, TCS’s policy, readily available online clearly states that the company “condemns any kind of discrimination, harassment, victimisation, or any other unfair practice against Whistle Blowers.” For those unfamiliar, a whistleblower is someone who reports wrongdoing that affects the public interest to an authorised person or organisation.
