Job Loss Woes on Reddit

Some social media users took to the Reddit platform to discuss the firing incident. One social media user who was allegedly fired from Zomato, along with 300 more employees, shared the experience with netizens.

A user named Brave_Role_6331 shares their experience with the r/Delhi community on how Zomato allegedly fired its employees without any warning or an opportunity to improve, according to a post shared seven days ago.

“I never thought I’d be writing this, but here we are. Today, I was fired from Zomato for what I can only describe as a ridiculous and unfair reason: being late by an average of just 28 minutes over the past three months. No warning, no opportunity to improve—just a cold termination, despite having excellent metrics, a great track record, and a strong presence on the floor,” said the Reddit user, according to the post.
