A viral Reddit post has sparked widespread discussion on social media, with a former Zomato employee claiming that the company suddenly terminated over 300 workers without any prior notice. The ex-employee, who says they were among those affected, shared their frustration over being fired despite having strong performance metrics and a solid track record. According to them, the dismissal was based on an “average lateness” of just 28 minutes over the past three months.
The post alleges that Zomato showed no willingness to allow employees to correct their attendance issues or improve, opting instead to let go of hundreds in one sweeping decision. No warning, no opportunity to improve—just a cold termination, the user wrote.

The former employee criticized Zomato’s handling of the situation, arguing that the company treats workers as disposable, regardless of their dedication or contributions. They warned both current and potential employees that hard work does not necessarily ensure job security and urged people to hold corporations accountable for such treatment.
The post has triggered intense debate online, with many questioning corporate ethics and employee rights in India’s fast-growing startup ecosystem. While Zomato has yet to respond, the incident has highlighted growing concerns about job security in the country.
One commenter shared their experience, saying, Sitting here in the office and reading this…. Commenting from alt account. They are being inhumane in this scenario, no warnings no nothing, boom Slack deactivated, account taken down within minutes and you’re out of the org before you can speak for yourself.
A lawyer also stepped in to offer legal assistance, stating, If you guys want to fight a legal battle against this. Feel free to reach out and I would strongly advise not to let this go like this. These companies think they can do anything and need to be taught a lesson. So let’s get on this and fight a battle against this and get you all the compensation you all deserve.
