[Shorts] Woman labelled homophobic and fired over typo in group email
When 26-year old Quality Assurance Analyst, Seema Jain sent out a group email celebrating the launch of her maiden project as a lead, she did not expect it to result in career suicide.
The PC culture within India has been growing at an alarming pace with people, in general, getting offended at the slightest of things. While many attribute this to the over sensitisation of Indian society, others believe that it is a sign that even marginalised communities are getting the courage to make their voices heard.
While the growing awareness of what is appropriate at the workplace and concentrated efforts to make the office a less volatile environment for women has to be applauded, many people question where the line needs to be drawn. What is a genuine mistake and what is an actual attempt at harassment?
HR departments are now playing things extremely safely to ensure that no complaint is overlooked and that no employee files a case against the company. In the case of Seema Jain, the HR department immediately pulled her up once the complaint was received, terminated her services and also added a note to her file saying that her homophobic comments made the workplace unsafe for the LGBTQ community.
Seema on the other hand still maintains that it was a genuine mistake and a typo.
“I was excited when I sent that email as I had just completed my first project as a lead. All I wanted to do was share the happiness and congratulate the team on a job well done. A stupid typo has just ruined my career.”
We gained access to the email that was sent to 5 employees of the US-based IT firm at 9.45 pm on Tuesday from Seema’s laptop. Unfortunately for her, 2 members of the team were gay and had not come out of the closet yet.
Hi gays!!
We finally closed the project and I am really happy that you were ready to spend late nights and drill each other till you finished. I have to say that I did not expect that leading you gays would be easy but you showed that you can not only take one for the team but also go hard for each other. Thank you for cumming together as a team and I look forward to a group session with you all soon.
Regards,
Seema Jain
The latest reports say that Seema has received a job offer from FOX News and will be moving to the USA soon.
