TCS Layoffs: Government and FITE Dispute Numbers
The Maharashtra Government says Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) laid off 376 employees in Pune over two quarters.
But a group called FITE says almost 2,500 employees were let go, including many who were forced to quit.
FITE wants the government to investigate, saying TCS is not treating employees fairly.
TCS says the layoffs were at middle and senior levels and not due to AI.
FITE also mentions that TCS made a lot of money last year but didn't help the employees who lost their jobs.
Maharashtra Government claims TCS laid off 376 employees in Pune over two quarters.
FITE disputes the figure, stating nearly 2,500 employees were retrenched, including forced resignations.
