So I got laid off from TCS in July 2025.

The HR ladies for horrible in fixing paystub errors for months before my layoff. They kept putting my parent’s CA address (when working remotely in their place) as my work address (after relocating to Indianapolis for an Indianapolis based client).

Since my stubs had CA tax state my unemployment claim from Indiana was severely delayed by 8 months (I’m finally getting it).

Well oh well, I lost $1000 in credit card debt interest (with this excessive delay).

They also act like I ‘never’ moved to Indianapolis when I recently demanded them to change my stubs before filing taxes (had to spend double the filing amount through HR Block instead of Turbo Tax).

Oh yes the HR Block happened twice.

They also laid me off from the bench at the time of mass layoff with NO WARN NOTICE (can they owe two months or $13k of backpay and benefits).

I want to take legal action but I don’t know how to and many friend (including friends in the legal field with no conflict of interest) warned against it (saying that you could lose more money in the process, which I have none of).

Has anyone ever been through similar situations with TCS?

I don’t think I’m alone.

What did you do about it?

How do people afford to spend between $2k-3k on edc?

I’m usually not the one who likes to get into people’s profession but what is your profession?

I’m a laid off techie and I found it very difficult to make festivals happen (with tech job) despite me wanting to be a ‘hardcore festie’ (six or more festivals a year).

I have friends in the service industry who find it very manageable to go to several festivals.

I’m just curious.

Thanks guys.

I’m in play for a job in either Charlotte NC, Raleigh, NC, St Petersburg (Tampa), FL, Cincinnati, OH or Indianapolis, IN.

Which city should I choose in terms of which is more lively and vibrant?

Which city is it the simplest to assimilate in?

Any suggestions?

Thanks guys.
