Hello,

I am an ex-employee of TCS, Chennai joined back in 2008 and left in 2011.

Few months ago, I came to know there is an job opening matching my current skillset. However I was informed by the HR recruitment of TCS chennai that, I cannot be recruited as per TCS policy since I am in ex-employee. The reason was so awkward. So I rang up few of my friends from TCS asking about this weird policy. They confirmed that the policy is true and the reason behind that is really funny which is when a new employee joins they seem to draw more salary than the people who are already employed within TCS.

Its an universal standard that new employees get paid based on the new market value, which is definitely going to be higher. I would like to know if this is some internal TCS policy that is being followed only in TCS Chennai. Some of my TCS friends based in other locations were not aware of this.

I have been employed by TCS for around 3 years, I couldn't believe that such a company would make such stupid policy which would sully the reputation of TATA group. If this policy seems to be true, its really an unethical decision of the higher management which restricts the company to hire new employees actually required for the job so that current employees wont develop a grudge over the newly offered salary. Such a pity!!

Regards.
