‘Zomato is practising unethical behaviour against employees,' claims Manager

A Zomato Manager recently alleged that the company is engaging in “unethical removals” of staff, claiming that employees are being sacked without due process or consideration of personal circumstances.

About the post

Shashank Shukla, who joined Zomato six months ago, shared the allegations in a LinkedIn post. According to his published profile, he is a Key Account Manager at the company.

“This is to bring into your notice that Zomato is ongoing with unethical behaviour against employees of the organisation. I am a part of the organisation and would like to confirm that unethical removals of employees are going on here without even consent of employees,” Shukla wrote.

In the post, the Zomato Manager further stated that employees’ family or personal situations were not taken into account before termination.

“No matter what the situation is within your family, no one will understand and they will take action against you. They will fire you out and there is no action taken against upper management regarding their unethical behaviour,” he added.

Shukla claimed to have experienced the situation and hence was cautioning everyone. He also mentioned that he had escalated his concerns to Deepinder Goyal over multiple emails before making them public on LinkedIn, as the founder has not responded yet.

Zomato has not reacted to this post, and Startup Pedia has not verified any fact claimed by Shashank Shukla.

Netizens react

A user commented, “Go dude, hunt for more jobs! These posts aren't going to help you out! Best of Luck !!”

Another user shared, “Sorry to hear about your situation Shashank Shukla — it’s truly unfortunate when personal challenges collide with professional realities. But this is also a wake-up call for all of us: the corporate world, more often than not, operates with its own priorities. Bosses /companies rarely pause to consider what’s happening in our homes or what boils in our kitchens. It just needs to deliver food to its customers. It may feel unfair, but it’s the reality we need to acknowledge.”

“Company will work on their ethics which becomes unethical because that ethics is office politics on that basis employee are crushed .whether employee die or make survival by their own. They don't worry more. Fact is that work until the time says you too goodbye to shit people,” another user remarked.
