Either way, on the ground hands should be off the thrust levers after V1. There is a very good reason for this.
If your company condones this and doesn’t have procedures to prevent it, is there a way to address that?
No I’m on the left since 2017 but I’m still learning

. It’s only 1 or 2 guys super senior I have seen putting their hand immediately after lift off. I don’t agree with it of course but it’s ok.. Unless it’s a line check I can let it go. My outfit is pretty chill tho and has nothing clearly written about this. We follow the FCOM/FCTM.
