As many as 350 employees have been sacked by Reliance Communications (RCom) in the past one year so after the telecome company decided to wind up its service in the Northeast. The last batch of 40 employees was asked to leave last month.
A former employee of Reliance Communications who was sacked on 28th October 2017 said, “I was working with the company since last 20 years but I was informed on 27th that I would have to stop working with the organisation from the next day.”
He complained that employees were not even given a month’s notice, but they expect to receive the salary of one month very soon.
Many employees who were sacked were mulling approaching the court for legal remedies but they backed out fearing that their entry to other telecom companies could be barred.
Another former employee said that the telecom companies have concluded agreements with each other which helps in the verification of the past history of employees seeking new jobs. He claimed that RCom has incurred a huge debt in the Northeast and hence forced to shut down its operation.
