I would term it as one of the most unethical practice ever adopted in any of the industry. They promised something else in the begining of the year and finally they paid something else, does not reflect good on the company's image. On one hand its being told to shareholders that the revenue has increased and so has the profit, on th other hand the employees salary is being cut to probably inflate the profit figures. It gives me an indecation that the image TCS tried to project at the end of Q3 result release was not the actually the true image of the company. The step needs to be explained to all the stakeholders rather then keeping everything shrouded in the mystry.
