Times Network terms allegations against its management 'motivated & malicious'
A former employee had earlier levelled allegations against senior management.
Times Network has issued statement after a former employee levelled allegations against senior management.
The statement said, “There is a malicious attempt to use Sexual Harrassment as a blackmail chip by a disaffected employee who has been terminated as part of Covid related restructuring. We have an annual post appraisal forced attrition of repeat low performers. This person has been with us 12 years. She was found incompetent in an earlier role and demoted once in 2017 with a salary cut. She has been wanting at several levels since 2018 and we have had repeated communications about non performance. All these are on record."
"During her entire tenure she has never ever mentioned any such Harrassment and has conveniently brought it up now. Even after her termination on 9th August,she had been negotiating with us for higher severance compensation. When her attempts failed she has resorted to frivolous allegations," it added.
