The media is over joyed by the news that one Indian top IT firm has sacked some employees on grounds of "unethical behavior" and that announcement was made on the same podium as of third quarter results. It was by a board member and the head HRD on the margins of announcing results. Is that news has got equal importance that of financial results ?. Yes it needed to create a "clean boy" image.
There exists a very question.. Is it fine that the owners of the firm you work for take themselves the responsibility of your "ethical values" ? especially in a country where exceptions are nothing but the norms. I like to say this as an example of overacting or over discipline.
Yes the organization do look into the social life of its employees, but can we say a person is culprit just by sighting that a complaint has been lodged against him? This remembers me a quote my mom used to recite whenever I had an issue with ma fellas at school. " It will sound only if both the hands meet".
The organisation can very well argue that we have taken action based on the internal inquiry.. Definitely it is a double edged sword...
A "code" of conduct for employees outside the walls of an organisation....
long live ethical purification....
