The audio clip that went viral on the internet, had a human resources executive threatening the employee that he would be fired if he did not resign the same day.
"This is a corporate decision. Beyond company CEO or CTO is there anybody? Who will you approach? If you can just read your offer letter, the company reserves the right to talk to associates to leave the company at any moment by paying them the basic salary. I can ask you to leave the company today end of day as per your offer letter which you have accepted when you joined Tech Mahindra. Why did you sign the offer letter if it (termination clause) was clearly mentioned in there?," an HR executive is heard as saying on the clip.
