I have a query.
I have been working with a research oriented profile for more than 11 years. I have been making some posts on public forums in a very supportive manner of the organisation.
The nature of work is very research oriented and we make posts in public formum to gain more insights into product. Recently, I made a post wherein I shared the customers inputs regarding a particular behaviour of the product.
The customer who is an active member of the forum bought to our company's notice and said his information was leaked. I immediately agreed and told my Senior managers and above that we have been doing this for past 11 years and my Managers were also aware of this practice. The intent behind this was to get expert opinion and drive the problem towards quick solution.
They decided to terminate me but after considering my experience, integrity and value added to the organisation, they came up with the punishment where I had to take a pay cut and designation cut (demotion) for six months. They said I will also be not eligible for the annual Bonus, which is heafty sum in itself.
I agreed to all those because I really love my Job and the nature of research work we do. A week after I joined back, some other facts about my previous posts using another ID came to light. I made it very very clear to the group of directors that we have been doing this as a practice for past 12 years or so.
I also got some email instructions of the past where my superiors were talking about posting in this particular forum regarding our cases etc.
I hope that they will not revisit my case and give me a more severe punishment because I put all the facts clearly in an email and also signed their warning letter stating there would be no further short coming from my end.
Any thoughts or advice on this please?
