Software engineer fired after 6 months, alleges no warning

A software engineer was terminated by an Indian IT services company after six months as a contract worker without prior warning or negative client feedback.

The engineer had delivered 40 of the last 90 stories released by a seven-person team and disputed claims about a higher bug rate.

Arriving five minutes late to daily stand-ups due to a medical appointment was cited as a performance issue, despite prior notice to the client team and engineering manager.

Mandatory AI training sessions were criticized as irrelevant, and employees were expected to keep Slack and Microsoft Teams status active while working remotely.

The Reddit post sparked discussion about workplace culture, with users calling for the company to be named and for performance reviews to include client feedback.
