Techie fired after 6 months, cites lack of warning

A techie was terminated after 6 months in a contract role at an Indian IT firm, citing abrupt dismissal with no warning or feedback.

He delivered 40 of 90 team stories in a 7-member team, but was flagged for a 14% bug rate versus a 10% target, including bugs he fixed from others.

A 5-minute daily lateness due to a medical appointment, approved by the onshore team, was later cited as a performance issue by an Indian manager.

Attendance at mandatory AI training sessions, deemed repetitive and irrelevant, was used in the termination discussion.
