I joined Tech Mahindra with fake experience. However, I was asked to resign due to a low rating. Can I file a case for wrongful termination and claim compensation for the year I was jobless? My manager took my code and submitted it under his name, another person's name, and mine. I did almost 70% of the total coding work. The manager mentioned that I was the fastest coder among my colleagues. Nevertheless, I made mistakes that he had to rectify during code reviews. I am curious about what he was correcting. He only pointed out mistakes to me three times. He also mentioned that he wanted the code to look beautiful for the client and sometimes asked me to change variable names to enhance their appearance. On one occasion, I finished one month's work in just six days. Additionally, I participated in coding competitions and achieved rankings between 30 to 90 out of 20,000 applicants, which included individuals from IITs and IISC.

"He who comes into equity must come with clean hands."

The issue here is debatable. Can you prove you did a good job but still were downgraded and given a poor rating? Your fake experience will go against you. Anyway, if you want to file a case and spend money and time, then consult a local lawyer and fully explain the problem to him and all relevant factors.

You have not mentioned whether you were on a probation period. Obtaining employment with a fake certificate is misconduct. An employer can terminate services during probation if the performance is unsatisfactory. However, as suggested above, you may file a case if you so desire.

Dear, you have stated that you were asked to resign. Accordingly, you might have resigned. How come compensation for wrongful termination? Further, you say that you have been jobless for 1 year. Please enhance your skills and get into a job at the earliest.

Hi,

If you want to burn your fingers, do it. First and foremost, when you have confidence in yourself, where is the necessity to submit fake certificates? This very issue will haunt you if you do not undo it at the earliest. If the present company wants you to quit, better avail the chance and quit gracefully, but ensure that you do not repeat the mistake of 'submitting fake experience, certificates' to any employer in your lifetime. Do not seek advice when you are in the wrong and that too deliberately done. All your qualifications will come to naught if you try to commit such a grave mistake.

Try to mend your basic ways and concentrate on fine-tuning your technical knowledge. Quit the company and take the relieving letter with whatever else is applicable and try to lead a new and honest life, without comparing to others.

Thanks and Regards
