Really good reply.NO COMPANY feels comfortable to let go of good people.

=Uday

Furthermore, I would be worried about firings if I was not honest to my job. NO COMPANY feels comfortable to let go of good people. Given the money spent on hiring them and training them and with the fear of internal information reaching competitors. And if there was a cut….hell we are Indians….the best of the IT breed in the world. There are more than 50000 IT companies listed in India (NASSCOM) and I am sure that some of these companies would be more than ready to get some good talents like you
Stop whining guys….life is not about thinking how to avoid losing….but about winning….and being happy

“..you seem to be in a comfortable position today… Pray to God that you will be in ever..”

U guessed right. I am in a comfortable position as of today, and if I fail to continue with the same, I really need to work on myself rather than praying to God for getting me my good days back. Probably JESUS helps only guys like U who really need Him even for searching stuffs in google, but sadly ur Jesus never helped me in that way.

If my company fires me, I gotta move on to get a new job. May be too much of a big deal for U, not for me,not for many others like me.

If all the Frank’s become Mr Ajim PremJee, that will be a Golden Day for India.Dont worry whether Mr PremJee will be a Frank that day or not.Mr Premjee starts looking from a sight where urs vision stops working,they r not born everyday.If there would have been no Wipro Technologies,probably Mr Frank sitting in Wipro AC office and utilizing company’s internet resources for such bloggings..would have been selling nuts in MG Road with Manu

U got a job, U got a platform, U r getting ur salary.
Not its ur time to give back and return the favor rather than asking from the company all the time for job security and good work.If wipro will run its business as per Manu’s demand, Mr Premjee will join the pool of job seekers in few days. In case Wipro fires U if its busines demands it to do so, take gratitude for the good time it had given to U and move on for ur next job hunt.Jus imagine where U would have been if U wldnt have got a job in Wipro !

If u r competent, U r secure.. no matter what company U work for. If not, better work on urself rather than blaming the company for not giving U a good job.If U dont like the company, leave it, who stops U?

Probably Mr Manu and Jesus wld agree with me in this regard..
Still Manu has doubts .. then JESUS help him.

See what happened…

1. You reach your office at 9:00 in the morning;
2. Being called in for a meeting with the director;
3. Told that SAPIENT is RESTRUCTURING itself;
4. So needs to kick your sorry ass out;
5. As you were on bench for 1 month;
6. Doesn’t matter if you were actually being assigned a new project by the end of the week itself;
7. Doesn’t matter if your project manager does not acually know anything about what firing session is actually about to start;
8. You are in tears and shock after the news;
9. You are NOT ALLOWED to return to your desks after the news is broken to you;
10. YOU ARE ESCORTED VIA THE BACK DOOR TO THE COMPANY GATE, as if you had lost your way in and the company needs to make sure so one sees you on the way out. All you PERSONAL STUFF is lying outside the gate when you reach there while escorted;
11. You are given a month’s time of sitting at you home and told to never report during that time.
12. Your peers lucky to be still inside are being given direct warnings telling the “YOU ARE NEXT”!!
13. Your CEO channels a mail nationwide Sapient, justifying the action taken, backing it up with the positive changes in the offing…
14. You get your letters etc delivered @ home, being printed and delivered by an outsourced firm specializing in carrying out this ‘DIRTY WORK’;
15. You are still jobless wondering what the hell went wrong with your work and job;
16. You are insecure, hopeless, and apprehensive about tomorrow…

And the SAPIENT towers stand tall and are still going strong with the axe, cutting all roots, and employees who don’t matter anymore …

Freshers just out of college, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years XP holders.. it just doesn’t matter…

So SAPIENT, why are you not in the list above?

Has anyone heard of Quark Inc. which managed to do a bulk firing of some 400-600 employee in one day. and managed to reduce its headcount from 2000+ to 200+ in less than 1 year. I know lots of people (who felt heat) they still say its good comp but worst part is the way/reason for which they fire.

just my $0.2
