Sacked Wipro employee alleges harassment
By   siliconindia news bureau
Thursday,20 August 2009, 19:47 hrs
Bangalore: An ex-employee of Wipro has filed a harassment case with the Electronics City police against some senior officials of the company after his services were terminated, reports Bangalore Mirror. Ram Manohar G, a native of Hyderabad, has alleged that he was confined to a room and harassed by his seniors, and was finally forced to quit. The 37 year old techie had been working as a team leader in the organization for the past 15 months.



According to Ram, he joined Wipro on Dec 3, 2007 and was unlawfully sacked on March 10 this year. Earlier he was working with MindTree in Bangalore. In his complaint, he alleged that he was confined to a room for a couple of hours at a stretch on several occasions by the higher-ups, and asked each time to resign. "It all started when recession hit the IT business. As far as my knowledge goes, some seven to eight thousand employees have been sacked during the last couple of months. But looking at my 11 years of experience and good track record, I was not really bothered about my services being terminated," he said.

In his complaint, he said, "I was confined by Anuradha Raju (Assistant Manager, TED, Testing Services, BFSI) in a conference hall inside the campus and was forced to sign on some blank papers. When I asked for the reason, she threatened that they would blacklist my name with NASSCOM and ensure that I did not get a job elsewhere."

Ram has also accused Ganesh Halapeti (Senior Project Manager, AXA, Australia) of abusing him in vulgar language over the phone. "He threatened that if I did not sign on the blank papers, my career would be ruined. I was also ordered to come to the office and work despite being sick." He also approached the HR Department about the incident, but no one paid heed to his grievance. "After I was sacked for no proper reason, I am in a state of shock and am facing acute financial problems."

Saurabh Govil, Senior Vice-President (HR), Wipro Technologies said, "We have not seen the complaint and would not like to comment before seeing it. The ex-employee in question, Ram Mohan, was employed with Wipro. We will not be able to provide any specific information on the individual due to employee confidentiality."

Govil said that the company would provide all the necessary co-operation and support to the investigating authorities in the matter. "We have a very robust process to deal with employee grievances. We have not had any complaints of this nature ever before. This may be an isolated case," he said.

1: Wipro managers terminate, sack its employees too quickly, before properly evaluating the best roles . This can be a mess later on if you discover that you have cut a critical employee and now need to hire that person back.

2:Hi all, I was just going through the complaints, feedbacks about Wipro BPO. Well, it seems I'm also from the same boat as you all are. The situation with me here is a bit different. I was an ex-emp of Wipro BPO, Belapur worked with Wipro BPO, Belapur from Dec 2004 - Apr 2005 as they considered me as non-performer, I couldn't hit the floor etc. Fine... In year 2005, I got another BPO job and worked there for almost 4 years pretty well and of course a good package too, strengthen my BPO experience level too.

Now, in this recession period, it seems companies are not hiring the skilled candidates but they're hiring freshers/brand new college students who wants to work for their companies for couple of months...may be as a vacation, and just leave when its time to study.

The real story starts here... As I mentioned above, I worked for Wipro in 2004-2005 and later another BPO, and after that on Oct 10th, 2009 one of my friend working in Wipro informed me about the job opening for backoffice(which requires a good typing speed + the analytical skills).

I went there on very next day i.e. Sunday, Oct 11th, 2009 for my interview rounds. There were around sixty candidates. Out of sixty, I guess just 15-20 candidates were selected in their first round of interview which was the Typing test. I guess I was above everyone as 79w.p.m.+99% accuracy level which can surprise anyone, nothing new to me.

After seeing my typing speed & accuracy, everyone(incl HR) was shocked and that HR lady started asking me few questions generally about my past working experience and all. I told her that I am an ex-emp of Wipro, and have worked with other BPO too. So she asked me about the working duration in Wipro, I told her it was 4 months, company asked me to put down the papers as I was non-performer. I had releaving letter too. By the way, it was my first BPO experience in my life.

She discussed with her management, and came back saying "I'm sorry, but we cannot select you as the company policy states that the ex-emp criteria has to be for minimum 6 months" means, if it is ex-emp case, I should have been in the company for minimum 6 months. Well, it was they who asked me to put down the papers, it was neither me who took the decision to leave the company nor it was an absconding case.

Secondly, I later on realized she meant to say that I can never try again for Wipro. That's why I wonder, these BPOs are hiring unskilled/freshers and not experienced/skilled candidates. I wonder, how their business is going to grow......

Later, I sweetly asked her, you mean I cannot try for this company in my life in future even. I told her "Look, it was in the year 2004-2005, and it wasn't me who left the company, in fact, company asked me to leave, so I did."

After that , when she realized this, she told me that she will shoot a mail across to the upper HR management team, and try to put a word for me etc.etc., today, when I spoke to her, she simply said that "I discussed, and they have denied it, hence we cannot take you in."

So, I think the better trick was to delete my past Wipro experience from the resume, but after experiencing lot of other things, I avoided my bad mind at that time.

...but, my advice to ya'll just be honest, and play smart......

I'm trying to locate as much as contact information for the Wipro-HR Heads sitting in Belapur operations, may be I can prepare a nice letter, and shoot it in their email inbox.

Anyone with Wipro Belapur operation contact information(such as contact numbers, email addresses) would be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Cheerz....

7: Ram had audacity to protest against these perpetrators of crime in India and Australia. As I can see large number of victims in this comments area, why these guys are getting the inspiration to boldly report these crimes to police. I presume the HR managers threatened them of the consequences after the complaint.

8: Employee is working for Vertical managers and horinzontal managers are giving the performance rating for the best performers and ignoring Vertical managers and business appreciation emails. So many instances are there where NI rating was given to best performers.
If no IT boom, then employees would have gone to European countries, would have spread accross the world or Gov. job etc. and with out any stress they used to work.

9: Was going through the posts. Here are my thoughts:
1)Companies, all companies, exist to make profit, give returns to its shareholders. Essentially to make money. Do not know of any company which is always willing to make losses, excepting PSUs in India. The quicker we youngsters realzie this the better. If we dont we should look for NGOs as employers who do some good for the society.
2)IT industry has provided lots of employment and money to millions of youngsters in the last 10-15 years. I shudder to think if there was no IT boom. May be many of us engineers would have been selling mobile phone sim cards, credit cards at malls and markets, working in some Lalaji's manufacturing unit at Rs 8000 pm or on the highways as construction engineers. Better ones would have surely gone abroad.
3) In their frenzied growth companies have gone and hired people from campuses all across the country. And we all know what is the standard of these campuses, with folks walking in with fat cash and getting admitted, passing out by hook or crook etc. SO essentially garbage in and garbage out. Looking at the language and grammar used in the comments looks like many of people here are from these colleges.
4)I am sure there will be some good guys from these D grade campuses but very few.
5) These folks have it very good so far, Going to US and saving loads of money, sometimes even beyond their wildest dreams
6) Businesses face downturn and people not up to the mark are let go. These folks, and US is a prime example, find either lower paying jobs or go to different industries where thier skills are better matched.
7) IT industry, looked recession proof to all the employees. No industry is.
8) Once the IT is back to mormal growth no one will even go to these sites or waste time on these columns. All this talk of Union and all will vanish. UNITES will get disbanded as the members would have found jobs by then
9)We already have a union, which is such sites, which give vent to our fury. But why dont we start using our brains instead of crying wolf?
10) Wipro or Infy or IBMs are not the only companies demanding performance. Go to their website and check the manpower numbers in their financial reports. All of these companies have let people go. Business conditions have forced them to become less tolerant to perennial benchers who will only go onsite or threaten to resign. They have started demanding performance from employees.
11) It would be ridiculous to assume that all the companies and their so called conniving, unfair managers will let go some of their best performing employees to write abusive blogs and comments and notes and news items and keep all the morons in the company.
12) Pl understand that all of us are managers and nothing stops the companies from terminating the contract and letting us go, no court can do anything here. The release letter will simply say terminated. Will that be better? Who will give employment to a terminated employee? If they are asking some of us to resign then it may be in our own interest for our future. Yes if some of them are treating unfairly then we can go to court. Else it is just tilting at the windmills.

10:Arthur,
1) An IT boom does not justify unethical and corrupt practices. A single employees life is far more valuable than a million getting employed.
2) Have you heard of the story of the farmer who killed his goose which used to lay golden eggs? That's what Wipro has just done. Vishal Yadav dies on Aug 28th. Observe the sequence of events after this: Labour laws are exempted for 2 years in Karnataka for IT companies as on 1 Sep. There is a rumour that Wipro is planning to promote a few employees (I bet, its again the top management). More than 2 new orders disclosed within 2 weeks - so as to capture the media. Arthur, i bet you a thousand that the top management has freaked out. They dont get their sleep anymore.
3) If the companies can issue a termination letter, why aren't they issuing it? Let me tell you: Integrity issues (fraud), sexual harrassment etc attracts a non-tolerance policy. These activities can be proven in court without doubt. But non-performance is a relative subject. This cannot be proved in court. Secondly, if the employee approaches court, more than the legal issues, it is the reputation risk that worries the management - which they hope to cover up easily.
4) Arthur, i can assure you that these are not perennial bench cats. These are performers whose projects were ramped down. Almost 10k are on bench currently. But due poor management, the company continues recruit, without considering the bench.
5) I beg to differ with your point that without IT we would have been getting paid an 8000 pm. Its a paradigm. Besides, past achievements cannot compensate the present-day downfall. Does the manager appraise his reportee for performance 15 years back?
6) Once IT is back in swing, rest assured - Wipro is bound to shut shop since no performer would join this company. Since once if a performer is asked to leave under the tag of non-performance, its clearly below the belt. No performer would ever join these companies henceforth.

As an end-note: Anything grey is black. And Wipro is clearly black.

11:Hello Arthur, sorry to say but I am surprised to see your faith for crap that you have put here. If thousand people tell a lie that does not turn the lie into truth. If you beleive so then you are having the same sick mentality what Hitler had. Take a look around, India is growing and everyone's salary is going upwards and same is true for comodity prices as well. IT people are being paid highest but not all people. Take the salary of Wipro fresher and you will see it is lesser than salary what freshers get in L&T or in any other technical gov job. So you have put completely wrong facts here.
And here discussion is all about wrong unethical practices of HR and managers. How can you justify taking signature on blank paper, talking vulgar words. Such HR & Managers are shame for the country. Even if they go abroad they bring shame to us. And we should make sure that such people DO SEE PERSONAL LOSSES FOR THEIR BEHAVIOR. But thats not happening, and exploitation continues. UNION formation is a neccessity to avoid exploitation, unethical termination and office behavior. To name a few, Wipro puts unreasonable bonds for any good training it imparts on its employees. A person going abroad, gets bond period. It does not give industrial trainings to keep its people upto date. All it does ask people to work, even after normal working hours. There is always so less people on bench, as if they stay there for long they will get pink slip. Its salary is worst in the industry. People are just a use and throw comodities. And no one can justify these. Yes people are free to quit but even that is also very painful at wipro. And Wipro is a company which does not even deserve to operate in India, but it does. Thanks to huge population and people like you

12: Dear Friends,
In below discussion we can find definition of NASSCOM in author's own words. Here I am giving definition of NASSCOM what I found from WikiPages.
NASSCOM is an association of software and services companies to facilitate business and trade in software and services and to encourage advancement of research in software technology. It is a not-for-profit organization, registered under the Indian Societies Act, 1860.
And if we read about NASSCOM, it would be clear to us that this ASSOCIATION is made only to help its premium members to make more profit by creating suitable government policies and an conductive environment. It mediates if its' two big members' interest conflict with each other.
What we should see here, that
0. NASSCOM is a legal body registered or known to Government.
1. even biggies need their own UNION to get best out of powerful governments. That is why today these companies are ruling countries, not the government. These companies are allowing politicians to go corrupt only in those areas where these companies' interest is not being impacted. And of course these company don't mind common man's misery in day to day struggle.
2. These companies are paying high salary only based on common understanding. This will never go beyond a limit which is uncomfortable for other companies. NASSCOM is there to short all this out.
3. In future if required they will be sharing employee's database as well, among themselves. And a common list to identify person who is in habit of switching companies.
4. They pressurize government for SEZ and levying of export duties, policies on intellectual rights etc to safe guard their interest. See how in WIPRO people are already working 45 hrs a week and how premzi declaring that SW people are earning very high salary, at the same time getting lands at cheaper rates for offices and paying no export or import duty to government on SW deliveries.
5. And best example how HR and managers are able to threat employees that they will be blacklisted for employment itself, though still NASSCOM has to sort that out with all its members. Till then no blacklisting. But question is how far is that day when this blacklisting will be accepted by all member companies?

And then comes the question, if government is not able to control these companies, how ready we will be to fight our case?
That is why I am repeating the importance of UNION. We have to be together to achieve the benefits of democracy and of being one, powerful enough to put pressure on government to legalize our collective actions.
I must agree, IT people are being paid handsomely and they should save today for tomorrow. However, there is no doubt that young kids(so called rookies) will be paid less for more work meaning they will be exploited.
And many will be thrown out at the time when they will be needing job security most. And if this happens for just keeping the profit margin high, then GOD only can help us and our beloved country.
Probable Cyber crime, may be even hardcore crime, naxalism cannot be denied. And during that time also companies will be making money in fact more money than now.
Only workers, employees and common man will suffer.

We always need a guard to maintain the balance. And presently this is what lacking in IT industry. I am not giving another sector example as I am willing to concentrate on IT, which I know most.
In this forum you are free to say bad/dirty words about companies management or HRs, but remember they are not the one who are being disturbed by these discussion.
I am sure there will be no impact to them. In fact good managers or HRs will be hurt for being part of profession where some of their colleagues are bad. And we need good managers and HR. But what to do with those managers or HRs who are always carrying an air of pride and hollow ego. For such guys we need an UNION to safeguard our interest.
I went through UNION URLs posted here. Some looks credible but not credible enough. None of them have filed a petition to legalize employee union in SW industry. Ram is slowly loosing to corrupt system and no UNION can even talk on same.
I am not expecting UNION to go for full fledged war against Wipro or HCL. But some initiative like filing a petition for our basic rights.
May be with some trimmed rights but right to associate with an UNION local to each SW company.
We need to start and later we go further like these UNIONS can have a representatives in one big countrywide UNION, extending further to a global UNION.
I will go with one such UNION who knows how to start, without having any second thought.

I do not know you. However,as an ex Wipro employee,I will remember you as a wonderful and skilful employee of Wipro.

May your soul rest in eternal peace. My deepest sympathies goes to your family and friends.

Your loss to Wipro is immense as you have helped the org. Every bit counts.

Let us get together and pray for him.We should not indulge into any discussions that relates to his cause of death.In this world of magnet and miracles, let us not point anyone on the probable cause of death and blame one another for we are humans and our perception will always be different.

Thanks

the probelm is not with company, its with the managers... its not just Wipro, all companies have such managers... we must realize that a person who is performing good will always be rewarded by the company - of course only if his manager is also of that kind. lets evaluate ourselves how we are and are we fit for any lay off. if we aren't then good.. otherwise bad luck

24: Hi All,

I think there are various reasons involved and a variety of situations where this can/could happen.Unless we know exactly what happened in Ram's case,we cannot point anybody.

Why should we blame the companies at large...There might be these handful of donkeys(engineers and managers) who are involved in this stupid favouritism /nepotism / ye apna he / vo apna nahi, things....I think the onus lies upon those smart,watchful wise senior managers who can identify this shit and throw it out of the premises....

We don't know what Ram did or for that matter what the concerned managers did(to him).

My learning from this is,go to any extent to ensure that one does not suffer and vice-versa help those who are in a position to control this from happening..

25: Hello Friends,
This kind of sean is not only in HCL or WIPRO. It is also applicable to Perot System. One fine Friday morning, got calls from HR and asked we have an very urgent meeting, please report by in another half an hour. When people reached HR, simply they said that, you are laid off please leave the premises and we will settle every thing and will send to your address and they took a forceful RESIGN letter. People who argued more they were given with TERMINATION letters with bad conduct. I have seen so many people who are under performed but they were having good faith with some senior managers, so they are out side of lay off list.
I will agree this is all with bull shit manager's( who are not even fit for trainee - dirty minded fellows) management.

26: I do feel sorry for the victims of these kind of acts of injustice by the so called big companies. However, why is it that anything and everything only about "IT or SOFTWARE" gets highlighted or gets attention and not the other sectors?

The situation is much worse for people working for Non-IT Sector. People in IT atleast take home decent salaries when employed while the ones working for Non-IT Indian Companies will have to suffice with their meagre salaries with no extra/ additional benefits whatsoever. There are very very few of them who provide benefits to their employees although I have not come across even one in my 8 yrs of working with different Indian Companies.

If plight of people working for the IT based MNC's is miserable,then the situation of the non-IT techies working for Indian Companies is pathetic.

I am a Non-IT Professional and I am going through the same kind of situation and I guess I have no choice but to put up with it or quit.

I seriously believe that woking for Indians & Indian Companies will never get better.

29: This is Crap shit treatment by a few useless senior officials on the name of a big company. Act of such people should not and cannot be related to companies as such people exist everywhere. It's fishy as he was being threatened to quit within 4-5 months of his joining, which is very short duration to chuck out someone due to low performance.

30: Guys let me tell you that every company today is far more sensitive to performance than they were 2 yrs back. Obviously non performance has no place in today's context. People will be graded based on relative performance and whoever falls below the cutoff line will perish. Its simple boss - even team australia follows this principle ruthlessly and thats why they are consistent performers year after year.

Now let me comment about Wipro. I have been working in Wipro for quite a few yrs and its my 5th company in my tenure of 16 yrs. Wipro definitely has extremely robust processes and has a lot of focus for its employees. That doesnt mean it has to tolerate non performance. Unfortunately whoever is an under performer would still tend to believe and proclaim that he is a genius.

My advise to all frustrated souls is to follow Rahul Dravid's example - if you are really good prove it once again and make a comeback. According to most people in this thread Dravid should have filed a lawsuit against BCCI for dropping him on performance ground (inspite of serving the team for more than 10 yrs) - right? Instead he did what a real genius does - prove himself again. Do you have it in you?

31:Judge not for you shall be judged too. It is unfair to compare Ram to Rahul Dravid. Wipro is not rehiring him in the next millennium. Also a fired employee will not find another job because judgmental people like you who are prejudiced will believe BCCI is right and continue to play ball.

Just remember how many times the HR persons have asked u to forcibly give NI to particular people. remember one thing, if this company can ask u to tell others to leave the company....one day some other senior guy will ask u to leave.so do not be a fool and just think over whatever u have written here.

36:What you are saying is correct . I am not sure about the case that we are discussing here however few points need to be considered
1) The way he was sacked .He was threatened .
2) As you rightly said performance is a key factor but let me know who measures the performance.In some of the cases it is judged by managers who are technically poor and came from Non IT industry not written single line of code in their career.How they are going to judge the performance .That start applying those dirty management priciples ( not found in any management book) .Also lot of politics is involved (I hate the word politics which came into IT industry not because of technical staff but because of those bull sheet management staff)
3) That person might be victim of such politics

39:Hello everybody I know what kind of treatment we wiproits got when we were asked to resign from company, I have worked with wipro, and i myself faced this from wipro HR team. 2 months of harrasment every 3 or 4 days they will send mail saind some discussion and in a closed room they will threaten you. the kind of harrasment what they did is definetly lead to this kind of situation, we worked with the company day and night for its growth, we thought that its our family, but what ever the treatment they gave is harrasement at the end. most of the engeneer people who got sacked are top performers, they got awards for their best performence, but HR team never considered this just they terminated or sent out employees even without proper experience letters, just think you are serving company with sinciarity and after 4 years of your service they say that to resign and if they will give you some bad remark on releavin, or what ever, your 4 years of service is gone. your dreams your hope everything is gone. we are not cheating, we are getting paid for our work, not for sitting there. then why did they do like that.

40: Buds,
This is total nonsense.
Wipro is a company of 1 lakh employees. You can judge that the company is bad based on the opinion of a moron.
As the number of people increase, definitely there will be conflicts of interest. Certain times that goes to a level where it becomes unmanageable. Ram's is one of those cases I believe.
The comments regarding lay-off and all, I am working currently in US. And luckily I still have job. A lay-off happened in my company two months back. And the experience was horrible. One fine day morning, some of the employees were not able to get access to office. Talking to security, they came to know they were laid-off. And people who were laid off were allowed inside office to get their things only along with a security, that too for 1 empl., 1 security like that. It was kind of you were in jail. I has too horrible to see my friends and colleagues leaving the company crying.
And few of them on visas were asked to leave the country within 2-3 weeks.
Tell me guys, this is better or your half-salary is better (question)

Nothing in this world is perfect. And also, all these companies are working based on American capitalistic culture. You tasted the sweetness of IT culture one time. Now is the downturn. You need to face now the other side of the same coin, it is the layoffs.

43:Mr Manoj,

Thanks for bringing out the another deamon face of Wipro. If the company has to lay off,then it should follow some ethics. Wipro is a company which doesn't have any ethics. I have worked in Wipro for quite a period and i know about many unethical issues prevailing in Wipro.
You yourself have said that there are certain things which have gone out of control in Wipro, just because of its strong employees' strength. Who is to be blamed for this. If Wipro doesn't has capability to manage such a large number of people, then why does it hire so many people? Just in the madness to earn money and to remain ahead in the competition. I know how does it exploit the freshers. They are being trained in one technology, and then suddenly asked to work in another technology or they are being trained in a technology at one location then at a very short period they are asked to move to other location because there is no project available at the same location. This is the Height of Mismanagement!This is just a single case point. There are many other cases in Wipro which can be talked about.
Policies like ombudsman, Spirit of Wipro, "There are no shades of grey, its either black or white" are just bullshit and nothing else.
How many of wiproites know that both employee's and employer's contribution towards PPF are deducted from the employee's salary. QPLC which is a part of employee's CTC, which given once in 3 months and that also not 100%. Part of it is deducted stating that the domain hasn't performed well. While in Wipro i haven't seen any of the domain performing bad. Its just a way increase the company's profits while blowing of the employees' pockets at the same time. The transportation charges.Oh My GOD! there invariably increases..Never decreases..no matter the fuel rates go down or up.
And this all have been happening since the time when IT was at its peak of boom. If you atlk about the sweetness of IT culture, specially Wipro..then lemme tell you..It looks sweet from a distance, when tasted, its sour like neem or aamla....If you talk of American culture, i am sorry to say that just calling each other by names doesn't bring American culture in the company.

44: IT companies especialy WIPRO doing this sort of sacking of employees without any reason. They do not bother about the future of the sacked employees. With so much resource and assets, they do not care to see the welfare of the employees. They recruit through campus and put them on waiting for 6 months to 1 year after completion of their degree course, mostly B.E., How much pain and money these young engineers would have put in for completing the course. With the lucrative invitation, these companies take the young engineers and sack them within a year without any reason or hearing an appeal from the employees. Now the sacked employee will be on a desperate mood as they are without any job or experience for 2 years after completion of their course. Does these companies HR Department heads not have any humanitarian consideration before taking a harsh action like sacking? Why can not the employees be warned before sacking so that the erring employees, if at all in the eyes of the HR Heads so what warrenting for an action ? Assets can be created and amazed by employing poor youngsters. As there is no organised labour sector in the IT companies, the employees are treated like bonded labourers. What is the use of the companies when it does not have humane for their own employees ? Will Premji live for 1000 years to enjoy the wealth and assets he is creating out of bonded labourers ? Let this be brought to personal notice of Premji. So that he will have humane touch on his HR Heads.

But what about people who are tortured & faced the above not in public.Bharti Airtel Services Ltd is being one of the worst companies in these kind of cases,But nothing gets notified outside people who r in lower level suffer
a lot. It all happens in internal politics. Take from Top to bottom level designated want their own people to survive this is a period only for chamchas & buckets in the industry who survive. HR plays great role giving ideas how to screw one guys career & life in organisation. They make good performer not to perform utilize him, make all his hardwork achievements efforts to be enjoyed by the wrong person who does not deserve it. If anyone tries to fight for it he vl b sacked from office to his residence also. This is present scenario happening in our country.

Regarding Wipro Technologies, I know they are playing very unprofessional tactics to remove ppl and avoid paying compensation to forced resigned ppl. Employees are under stress. I think co. will pay for this in the long run.

65: Dear Friends,
As all of you know comitting suicide is always a bad option.
So what if you have 3-4 million loan on you and bank will take your home from you in which you have put all your savings so far. So what if you have a family to look after, your ailing parents, your kids' education etc and you are out of your job.
Even worst than what I have mentioned here, can give you only a temporary stress. Believe me, if you have courage, with time not only you will compensate your losses but you will go beyond that.
But what if you commit suicide. its permanent loss.
What happens when a person commits suicide:
1. Person's family and loved ones get a trauma to haunt them throughout their lives.
2. Companies or persons who made him to commit suicide will hardly be impacted or punished. Life will be usual for them after a while.
3. You are earning source of your family which is lost forever. Now who will take care of them?
4. Companies or persons who made person to commit suicide gets another person.
5. All your policies like Insurance will NOT PAY anything to your loved once as all agreement gets void for commiting suicide.
6. Any great cause like UNION formation is negatively impacted due to this. See here people have forgotten about Ram's case and talking about a dead person who can not fight forget about winning. Focus is lost and effort of Ram is also wasted.

IN SHORT YOU AND YOUR ASSOCIATES LOOSE AND VILLAINS GET BENEFITED. PLEASE DONT TAKE SUCH STEPS, NO MATTER WHATEVER HAPPENS.

And for your information, NASSCOM can not balcklist a person who has not broken any contract or who has not done anything illegal. You can always say NO if someone asks you to sign a blank paper or ask you to resign for no reason without any fear.

Check how many persons has been blacklisted by NASSCOM.

And filing a case as Ram did against these anti-social elements for their deeds is always an option.
Its true any company has authority to sack a person with due notice and/or three months salary, and so employee has right to leave with proper notice and/or salary cut. But what is wrong happening in IT industries are
1. people are being asked to stretch all the time meaning two persons doing the job of three persons and third person is being thrown out.
2. people are being thrown out or put on salary cut if they are not billable for few days, just because its recession and whenever required persons with skills are available outside. In other words contract of employment is being broken by company.
And no logic of making profit etc goes here, as companies can not have rights to exploit people. And market pressure to show percentage profit can not result into increased load on workers at lesser wage and job cuts.
3. Companies can not throw people out without proper compensation and for reasons of keeping its profit margin intact. In other words companies has to share risk of bad times as well.
4. What so ever, harassment and unethical behavior at work place is not acceptable.

As IT industries are maturing, it is bound to happen that people will not have higher salary every year due to saturation in demand. But if higher management is willing to maintain its hight salary growth year after year, it will tend to exploit people. And therefore, we need a guard, a UNION, which makes sure that exploitation is not so easy that whenever recession happens, lower management people are thrown on streets just to keep high growth. UNION and labour law is needed to ensure that a higher management salary cut and low operational cost is far easier than laying off people in thousands.

US and Europe have laws which protects employees' rights, which is missing in India, and only an organisational effort can get some thing similar in place in India as well.

70: what crap and waste these comments are. people a buisness will do what is good for them not for employees. thats what business is about making profits. if something is to be done then we should pursue a Nasscom or other bodies to make rules for severance. today they are such that companies resort to other ways. Abusing Wipro may not help all business are like these. AND WELL WE INDIVIDIUALS ARE NO DIFFERENT. WE ARE EQUALLY SELFISH LIKE A WIPRO OR A INFOSYS OR A IBM OR ANYONE.

IF you do not AGREE ANSWER HONESTLY THE BELOW:

do you give all your salary the maids who work at your house, no why dont you give her bonus when you get it, why dont you allow her to maintain similar lifestyle like you? if she does not mop the floor or do cleaning propoerly why do you change her and not continue with her? why do you fire her? why?

if you lose your job will you not fire the maid which work for you? if business is not doing well it will also reduce costs say employees.

Crap your discussion is and its not Wipro or other companies as business is about profits and not charity. WIPRO is still far more cleaner than some others. Having worked for a decade i know. If something is to be done labour laws to fire made easy and a good severance (exit) pacakage to be bargained from. NASSCOM should wake up, Government should wake up. Also we need higher PF, Gratuity other social Security like we have in US.

If the management says that we are running oout of business. why do they stilp provide the perks to the snipor executives. Also as someone mentioned earlier. Not only wipro made profits becoz of hard work but becoz of sacking employees. This is prudent from the Senior executive's remark when he was asked about sacking employees.

Reporter: You have sacked more number of employees this quater. your comment on that.

WIPRO Exeecutive:(Not mentioning his name) Sacking employees will improve our margins next quarter so we will realize those effects (profits, Profits , Profits ) in the next quarter. If theey are so concerned about Profits why cant they sack those Senior Executives who are getting hefty package ?

I will agree with Sumit, a good maid who stands in your bad time, if i have to fire i will make sure that i give her support (not necessary financial) and that's all required, this is what we need to fight for. All companies are same.

80:Indians have not got the real independance. People are always there waiting to spoil someone else's career. In the IT industry, the managers think that they have come from heaven. They think they can do what they like. They were also an fresher once upon a time and have come across all these stages. Most IT employees except below the manager level are facing the same issue. The managers get all the work done and screw up in appraisal and give wrong feedback to senior management. The only way to stop this is to start a union for IT employees. If all the Indian IT employees stop working for one week, then the world will witness the real scenario. This is applicable to all Indians abroad. Our brains are being drilled deep like a bore well. For money sake, people forget the basic discipline of behaving. we are being treated as slaves, don't know when we will get freedom from Indians.

AZIM PREMJI'S POLICY OF DOING BUSINESS, IS THAT WHEN HE DOESN'T seem the business profitable or he doesn't see Break even. he adopts the strategies of retrenchement by hook or crook. this what he has done with Wipro desktop and server business. he doesn't want to share more margins with the channel partners. the asked the distributors to take care of the business by asking the channel partners to quit.

83: TALKS TALKS TALKS.. I guess we people in IT are used to typing and type everything out.. but dont do any damn thing about it.. So many WIPROITES crying here.. moaning and blabbering that WIPRO is this and it is that.. Hell guyzz, y the hell dont u'll get together and do something abt it. There are people from ViSHAL's project who are saying that it is not VISHAL's fault.. well buddy ur waiting for a Mail to come from the HR.. y dont u write an email to the HR, put all employees in CC and ask for the reason of the EMPLOYEES condition..I guess even ur scared for your job.. Nothing personal guyz.. just that we in IT are forgetting that the companies exist because of us, we do not exist because of the companies.. It is high time we have to move things for our rights... I am in for starting anything that can change this and save people like VISHAL.. I guess we can use our LOGICAL brains to something other than coding.. ITs time we start LIVING..

We are the change we want to be

85: After reading all these comments i am happy as i am not there in wipro, i also started my career with Wipro Infotech around 5yrs back. After working for 2yrs there in 5k per month when my time came to join Core company Top management took a decision to moved me on franchise payroll(I joined as trainee there) When i refused to do this then these people threaten me as they will screw my career also said as this is a small world so be careful. Its almost 3yrs now here in Genpact and i can say the kind of flexibility and options employees have here in this organization no other company can offer the same. but the only thing which people don't like in Genpact is salary, Otherwise everyone knows the amount of freedom and flexibility which a Genpact employee enjoys that no other company's employee enjoys.

86: I have been an ex employee of the aforementioned organisation, and I can confirm that I had to face similar tactics used by my supervisor when I resigned. He almost threatened to have me blacklisted if I did not stay longer than the notice period to complete an assignment.Only I know how I came out of that mess eventually, by staying low.

87: All the rules and regulations done by wipro is for junior employees.And these managers always think that their problem is only problem and others have no problem.There should be one objective where employee can give the rating for their manager. Then only the managers can behave in a proper way.

90: I am ex employee of a Very Reputed MNC in India. I have worked there for 4+ years. There are more than 400+ comments on this single article. And the comments keep on coming every day.
People are talking about how there must be a union to protect the employees, how deserving people are made to work for a very less salary, how PPF is getting cut inspite of promises made by the companies, how people are committing suicide due to work pressure. I want to make some simle observation on this.
When are we going to understand that all companies operate on profit margins. Any employee thus, coming under expense column of a company. In all cases, I dont see any fault from the company side in what they are doing. I see fault from employee side. When the profit margin decrease, companies will do whatever they can to increase, whether that is forging it (Like Satyam), cutting Variable allowance or Promotions (Like TCS) or extracting more work with less and less salary. What you and me must understand (and it is high time) that this is not going to change. We in India are experiencing it now, in US this has been happening for the last 30 years.
As part of my work, I meet a lot of people. I know how it is out there. But of all the people I meet, very few are their who are willing to do something about. Most of them just talk, with friends, co-workers or sometimes on forums like this.
This is a very general comment, but if any person wants to take charge of the their future and not just waste time talking about it, this is my mail id: ajoyajay@gmail.com
Throw me a mail with your contact information and location, I can seriously help you in this. Dont mail me if you just want to check it out. What I will suggest will take guts and so is not for everyone.

93:Many people are frustrated with the way layoff is done ind India under the guise of performance issues. That does not happen in US. Companies layoff employees, publicly announce it and pay severance package. India companies don't want to own the responsibility of layoff and pay the severance. They brag about their non-existent humane face saying they didn't layoff people even during recession. In fact many Indian IT biggies including wipro shamelessly discriminate based on age (they call it bulge mix). People in US would have sued their ass of if this had happened. Unfortunately we don't have any labour law against age discrimination in India. Pl stop comparing US and India. If you want to give up saying it can't be stopped, that is your choice. I know some people are uniting and forming IT union. Hope we can have more bargaining power as employees and treated with dignity and respect.

They are likely to fail and asked to quit once they are unbillable. No wonder both the reported cases of harassment/death are from BFSI vertical. I heard that the PES division head wanted to layoff 10%, but his kindhearted deputy didn't agree and was able to bargain it down to 7%.

104: What is ERICH,for all stake holders.
I had spoken to some of the wipro employees asking about Enrich.

It is no way entry back to work.

1. The enrich program is about sending employees home with a promise to pay half salary(Actually breaking their final settlement in pieces and claiming that they dont fire employees).
2. People in enrich would not be entertained in any projects for a period of three months
3. The standing instructions to Project managers are "Dont not get people from Enrich program, instead take a campus recruit and put work pressure and get the work out of them at the lowest cost".
4. After three months he/she would be declared unfit as he he/she is not in any project.
5. He/She would be asked to leave wipro with the last piece of his settlement amount(Which they would have paid if he or she had resigned) as they have paid him/her the three months.
6. He/She cannot resign during Enrich program even if they have opportunities else where.
7. He/She would be coming to office twice a week on papers....but in reality he/she has to come to office 6 days a week and work for half pay which is actually him own money which they would have given as final settlement.
7. On failing to do he/she will be black listed in NASSCOM.
8. One must not speak of this to anyone else in the organization(the interviee claims this as "Un-yeilding Integrity" and "Acting with Sensitivity".

I am ashamed to call myself a wiproite. Disease is at the top (Ajim Premji,Suresh Vaswani, Girish Paranjpe, Pratik Kumar). People like Amit Bakdas, Anuradha Raju and Ganesh Halapeti are only symptoms. I hope Mr. Premji gets some time off from counting his dollars and take notice of what is happening in the company. This company has rapidly degenrated in to a giant bodyshop after the exit of Vivek Paul. Joint CEOs are just a big joke.

107: Is there another suicide going to get un-noticed in Wipro! Yeah they are good at messing up and then covering it all up in no time. I am an employee of Wipro and is working for the same client as was Vishal. Its heard that he had an HR interview the day he committed suicide. Its foolishness to say that a person would be on leave for 3 months and then come to office just to comit suicide! People are made to resign in Wipro forcibily because this corporate dont even want to take the responsibility of firing people. People are harassed by words like "If you dont do what we want, we will put such negetive comments in NASSCOM that you would not get job anywhere in India" and these words come from nobody but the Head HR (Badkas) of BFSI vertical. So I highly doubt that Vishal would have resigned by himself. Police should investigate the appraisal rating he received for this year. Its 3 months over since wipro completed the appraisal process. This year they had targeted some employees from each projects and planned their exits using appraisal process by giving them NI (Needs Improvement). No wonder even if the employee had received an Exceeds Expectation in previous year's appraisal. This is HR policy of use and throw! This doesnt end here. Then they force such employees to resign by humiliating and harassing them, so that they can put a big fake smile to media and say that even during recession they did not fire any employee. Though a person would have worked days and nights for the project and Wipro would have stolen 90% of his hard earned money (Wipro pays its employees only 10% of the money they receive from customers for that resource). Once the project is over they dont wait much to put employee into a program called enrichment where they pay only half the salary and force resource to sign a draconian contract which voids all previous legal documents signed with wipro including the offer letter by threatening them with their unlawful termination. And if employee dont get the project in couple of more months during enrich program, the harassment begins which finally ends with forcible resignation. Employee satisfaction is very low in wipro and many people are waiting for recesssion to get over to escape from this prison of attrocities.

109: Ahyways its very good that at least Wiproites started to raise voices in a union regardless of language and region.

Today morning, we were shocked to see stains on floor of tower S2 ground floor.
yesterday one of our brothers has committed suicide. the security told us the incident last night around 10:30 PM the security at that time was shocked to see a body fall right in front of him on the granite floor, for a moment he couldnt understand what had happened, then he came to his senses, he told that the body almost shattered in the pavement.
Vishal Yadav (Business operations Analyst) Dont know from where but his parents were informed and they accepted the body from hospital...

SPIRIT of WIPRO
Towards 10 AM after the police / MEDIA had taken markings, the facilities, cleaned the floor and people started moving. around that area. Its as though nothing has happened. Not one mail or communication was sent today expressing grief or pity. after all this issue isn\'t a big deal of some big ass being promoted or some idiot completing 10 years etc.
We were waiting for some communication to happen so that we would know the facts instead from other sources.
No communication nothing, only mails like Emerging leaders, K chat etc.
Oohh I HATE this place.

112:Deducting PPF from employee's CTC is happening not only in Wipro, now a days it is very common in almost all private companies. Before joining a company the HR gives a salary break-up sheet which doesnot show this malpractice. And one will come to know only while getting his/her first salary. So in other terms, we have to contributing for employees PPF from both the ends. And you'll be shocked to hear that even this web portal (SI) is no different than others.

Also, they should be booked under appropriate criminal charges and their withdrawn company benefits should be given to the concerned employee for causing him mental trauma. This will serve a fitting lesson to the potential trouble makers in the management of other companies.

118:lenin, what you want to say is.... if other people can adjust with the injustice why can't we... right?

or is it if other companies treat humans like anything than why should we stop Wipro from doing so, after all even it is also a bussiness firm totally dedicated to make profit and not for any kind of human consideration for employees or any kind of respect for country or society in which it operates.

I think we are not debating about the salary offered to any employee, we are just asking one simple question :

"is it right to harass a human in close room?"

Now please note "human" stand for any one and not in particular for Wipro employee.

and I think we should feel happy that every one is uniting to fight the injustice. Today they might be fighting for one IT prof, tomorrow they will unite to fight against any other kind of injustice... as u mentioned " people who r qualified and getting low salary" and if this blog is helping the people to unite why you want it to be deleted.

Get the legal aid and discuss with the respective person.

122: Just before two months back I was working in wipro Technology as a contract employee. Oneday Suddenly I had Faced the same issue by my manager from the company, while I had not done any mistake. When I faced the issue I came home and simply send a mail to Azim Premjee By puting CC to other Engineers and Managers. After one day I got call from some manager. I went to company and spoke to my manager and the other managers of wipro company. Atlast I felt they did not say anything to the manager, But told me to join the company again as fault was from their side. But I said them to leave the company from myside. Atlast I left the company. I know One thing the behavior of wipro managers are so bad and other thing is they treat the employee like any thing, and use of slang is a common thing for them. So we should not except any type of good responce from them. Cause after leaveing the company also, Sometimes they are cheating with me, Also turchering through the consultance. After leaving the company I faced the lot of problem to get the experience confirmation when I got a new job. So If u really want to fight, take your justice by sending a legal notice from court. If you want then what ever I can I will try to help you. If you want also I can send this mail which I had send to Azim premjee.

let us priortise the tasks at hand,
1. Help Ram in whatever way he needs to fight his case and get the justice.
2. In parallel start a UNION for IT professionals to find the ways how to get further social, media as well as political support for a legalised UNION and labour law.
3. Take the mask out from Wipro's face before its client base and Indian IT professionals by publishing its malpractices.
4. Personal criticism on Villains i.e. Anuradha Raju (Assistant Manager, TED, Testing Services, BFSI), Ganesh Halapeti (Senior Project Manager, AXA, Australia), Saurabh Govil, Senior Vice-President (HR), Wipro Technologies etc by publicing their posters and exposing their works in professional as well as in personal lives (be sure that would be of media's interest).
5. An oraganised protest before E-City Wipro office with a good media exposure.
6. File an application to High Court, seeking a rule for IT companies allowing its employees to form a UNION.

131: Dear All

A Friend of mine has met Ram. He told me that Ram told he could have kept quite like many have done. But he choose to fight for beyond himself, for a greater cause. To bring an awareness among other IT Professionals. Our Awareness, togetherness, and concrete action against the bigger issue will be right tribute to his effort.

I just learnt that he is not keeping well with minor illness. I will meet him over the weekend. There is a group of legal experts, activists, media, Industry experts under formation to take on the bigger issue. To take the movement to its logical conclusion that Ram has started.

A close investigation and discussion has shown that the noxious is much bigger than what meets the eye. With the current arrangement of the noxious, it is almost impossible to curb such mass exploitation in short time. There is a need of reforms and mass movement to change the environment in the favor of the employees.

I would request all our friends here to not forget the issue. And wait for the call by the group to extend your support.

I will invite you all to our formal meeting with opportunity to actively taking part or lead the movement. Meanwhile you can contact me to know detail about the movement and extend your active support.

134: As a ex wiproite I want to list the following points to all.

1. Wipro not loyal to the employee, those who worked hard for sevaral yrs asked to quit because of the recession.
2.Last quater result of wipro was better that other companys, the reason is they are sacking experienced professional and bringing in fresh graduate, I would say this would hit wipro in future.
3. As a big organaisation they can get those exp professional back when they need, but I would suggest dont join in wipro ever.
4.Instead of sacking people they can reduce the salary, I hope few other indian company doing that.
5.They have a program called WASE, the WASEans paid only 6-7k per month but they billed with dollors per hr. For one day billing they can pay the salary. This is the way they making profits. It's totaly unfair.
6.Finally Lets spread the news to all IT techies so that they can aware what wipro is doing to get the profit.

135: We read here that Wipro has policy that bars its employ to practice their legal rights as per the Indian constitution.
The question is. Does Wipro have a different law other that Indian constitution, and Indian labor law?

Which law of the land Wipro is following? It is not following Indian constitution in India.
Not following European law in Europe As mentioned by many friends here. That Wipro violates the Visa rule there.
It was banned from World Bank project for 4 years in 2007in the for bribing.
Many friends have mentioned the malpractice in USA.

Wipro is getting tax exemptions. It is getting Land from Indian government to promote Industry. It is operating with India using and benefiting from the Countries machinery, and systems. It is exploiting the cheap human resource available in India.

The only benefit is there are many who get a decent earning to survive, As long as the market is good. With the cost of their severing right, Dignity, and self-respect, and mental peace.

Personally, it is a heavy price to pay. What you will get if you party with a company having illegal practice.

137: let us priortise the tasks at hand,
1. Help Ram in whatever way he needs to fight his case and get the justice.
2. In parallel start a UNION for IT professionals to find the ways how to get further social, media as well as political support for a legalised UNION and labour law.
3. Take the mask out from Wipro's face before its client base and Indian IT professionals by publishing its malpractices.
4. Personal criticism on Villains i.e. Anuradha Raju (Assistant Manager, TED, Testing Services, BFSI), Ganesh Halapeti (Senior Project Manager, AXA, Australia), Saurabh Govil, Senior Vice-President (HR), Wipro Technologies etc by publicing their posters and exposing their works in professional as well as in personal lives (be sure that would be of media's interest).
5. An oraganised protest before E-City Wipro office with a good media exposure.
6. File an application to High Court, seeking a rule for IT companies allowing its employees to form a UNION.

138:Why cann't we help Ram financially. He has taken a bold step and will give a major impact to Corporate selfishness. All he needs a big publicity and exposure and legal support. Why some one not suggesting Ram to put ad for helping him. And why no social service org or NGO helping him out. I would say 100/200 Rs if every sw eng contributes then he will have good lawyer to fight his case and also other's will be encouraged to challenge the might of these big corporates

139: Is Any one from Wipro is here who can get Rams telephone number for us to know where is his case?

Rams is only one case and might be a small case, and we have to see the proof, and strength of the case.

It is alwayes very imposible to proove the harasment cases. As it happens inside the office and people usually do not think of gathering proof.

But many cases like Ram can be prevented if we focus on cases where conviction will be possible.

140: With reference to the warning by wipro technologies that its businesses could be "adversely" affected due to the disclosure made by World Bank nearly four months ago that the Indian company was ineligible to work with the international lending institution.as informed to its American shareholders and market regulator Securities and Exchange Commission.This is absolute nonsense. Primarily it has to keep its house in order. Since several months Wipro is losing its exceptionally talented resources due to self-centered mind-set of its human resources management. As per my interface with several wipro and ex wipro employees it is clandestinely getting rid of thousands of employees in an unwarranted manner. In correlation to this, please visit www.lay-off.org website and read all the posts and comments of various affected wipro employees.World bank had only disclosed what it has found in its inquiry and Wipro said that it could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Losing just one customer and that too in Banking sector will definitely not impact its business. It is trying to diverge from other facts which would result in collapse of the company. The management has given clear directions to its HR to fire people in whatever way possible. So in the near future only incapable, incompetent resources would endure in Wipro. There are many legal cases filed against the company by several thousand ex employees of wipro. There are several complaints against the malpractices of the company. The ex employees have also approached several Unions to fight collectively against this high handedness of wipro management. So Wipro will face colossal rebellion by its sacked employees.

141:Guys, I do not know if other Indian companies are also practicing unethical business, but I am sure Wipro is doing so. Wipro employees has been black listed in many european countries due to wrong registration processes ( wipro european staff is helping people to get registered with fake address) and even european goverment is helpless to stop such fraud. People are being asked to work with different countries Visa, yes schangen visa allows you to travel to all the european union countries but you have permission to work in only one country for which you have work permit. However here wipro takes pride to misuse european law.And if a person is caught here only that employee will be punished though he is foolishly following his manager's instructions. Its not the end, customers have started complaining that Wipro first sends good experienced people to get the project, but after some time all the experienced people will be gone and new less experienced people will be left trying to run the project, which spoils their work done so far. And if mention this to managers they will shamelessly approve such initiatives, they say we have learned about the work and this experience in our resume will help to bring in some more projects and there are many such malpractices by Wipro. So its not surprising to see Wipro being unethical to its employees. But surely each of the sacked employee must file a case against this company. And I also support the idea of UNION for IT industry as well. This industry is maturing and exploitation will be increasing to book same profit as before. To safeguard human values and avoid exploitation, it is must to have a well defined labour law for this sector as well, and there must be fear in employers to introduce damaging policy for employees without having a very good reason for the same.I believe this can be achieved only by might of a UNION of minimum size of 10K people, country wide. And further to add here, UNION if forces 2 days strike before WIPRO E-City campus, will prove to be a economical slap on company's face, hence it will stick to its policy only if it sees benefit larger than loss due to two days of no work.Now consider 5 days strike :-)
And if you have many people with this movement you have political will also. And don't bother about bad guys or politicians, they are inevitable, and not a reason for not starting some thing so important.

142: According to company rules, union cannot be formed. It may happen that employees may have to loose their jobs, if they form the union. I would suggest that if Wipro employees want to protest, they should keep the wipro policies in mind, otherwise their acts may have adverse affect on their career.

This is enough for giving a fullstop to Wipro's unchallenged malpractices. And Wipro employees can participate in similar way to help friends working in other companies.

145: I guess it should more as per the labor law. Wipro operates within India and subjected to law of the land. And its rule cannot be different.

No one can be penalized by any company if they operates within the law of the land. The freedom of a citizen does not seizes to exist if someone joins Wipro. If Wipro takes any action against those operating within the law of the land, then there is something seriously wrong with Wipro. Then the matter is much more serious that we are thinking.

152:UNITES generally tend to act if the company involved is large enough to get them some publicity. I know people personally who have approached UNITES when harassed by the company, but couldn't get UNITES interested enough to act for them. What he got was a lame response "we will get back to you" I have my own doubts on UNITES. There are thousands of small companies (IT) who are harassing employees similar if not worse! But just that media might not be interested enough to say "Ex-XYZ employee complains about harassment" I hope this news doesn't end up as a just another link over website, with lots of comments. Ram's case should get enough public attention to be taken seriously.

153: I totally agree with the issue highlighted. Its really getting over our heads now and we should be fighting back. I am working with Tech Mahindra and believe me, they never do these kind of things also the policies are great and the facilities are not that bad. FMG take very quick action over the issues.
I just want to say, we should learn to raise our voice.

The worst part is, WIPRO the so called Giant had recruited all the 9 pointers of my Institute SGGS Nanded in 2008 being the first company in Feb 2008. So far they havent got the joining and the dates given to them are on 29th December 2009. Are they silly or stupid to wait?
They havent given the exams of CAT or CET as first in November last year they promised and then again March they made the fake promise again and now all are struggling as the market is already down.
Its playing with Carriers who are really in need of money as they belong to very poor families who cant afford higher education.

Wipro, dont recruit if you cant give the joining, let the students not see fake dreams that you are never going to make True.

I am happiest at this point that I wasnt selected in Wipro what is relief.

Premji, show a little PREM to the employee or else your ASEEM empire will be ruined soon if a spark burst our in your employees who are driving you tonns of dollars.

154: Wipro is sacking people or asking them to join Enrich(Half Salary) progrogram because they don't have project due to bad market situation.

1.Just imagine a employee of less merit is getting all the benefits because he's in project.
2.Is this applicable to Top management? Are they getting less salary/bonus?
If we calculate like this- Project's managers (10-15)% salary cut can save two freshers(freshers' salary is also reduced by 10-15%), (10-15)% Salary cut of GM can save two PM,similarly 10-15% of salary cut of Top management can save two GM..then why not over-all salary reduction is happened in wipro(Salary reduction of all by 10-15%)? Why not all should be effected by bad market situation?
Now the situation in wipro is individual getting penalized due to recession, where they doesn't have any fault. Others enjoying the life.. may be they are having less experience or less merit.. or in top management.

155: It's true. Wipro is unethical in everysense. It has managers who think they are gods (dogs!). I feel in Wipro people with 1-4 years in wipro really work hard. Once they become red taggers (a shitty concept by Wipro!) they behave like mad dogs harrassing people who are new to Wipro. Wipro will become a better place if they clean up all top management guys and remove the concept of red, green and shit tag concepts! Days are not far ahead, if Wipro becomes a hell to work , if it continues to treat the employees the way it is treating now. Premzi are you listening or busy in counting money?!

160: It is hardly a surprise. I am also a former wipro employee and it is really astonishing that a company of such global repute has a work ethic comparable to stalinist rule. It has ruined whatever ability, the talented young people who join them had to offer to the country,exploitation of all kinds is rampant and I strongly believe the underworld will be more understanding towards their employees needs than wipro will ever have. They do not even allow the employee deaths happening in their cabs to be reported in the media, rapes go unreported and these are only two major examples of their misdeeds.I strongly believe that a company with such morals will fall under its own weight eventually.Azim needs to understand that selling oil is a bit different than dealing with human resources and the service they provide.You cant take humans for granted.History will tell you that whoever has done that, has perished.

165: Hi Sital,

Yes, its the situation in all the companies. you know there is no written policy in the companies to harash people. So you can not hold any company accountable. It is the top management who are responsible to ensure proper working environment and prevent harassment are accountable.


There are all laws, but the law is not preventing the harassment. Because the execution is not happening.
The reason is no one has fought it yet. Can a chap who has just got harassed can fight it till the end against powerful corporate lawyers?, NO.


What is the solution? Take the example of SATYAM. One CEO went behind bar. The next thing all corporate fixed their corporate governance.


Who will fight it? We ALL AS ONE (Association). Taking one case of harassment, Where we will win in the court, And accountability can be set on one top management to be punish. Taking it to the court of law And fight it tooth and nail to the end.


Against whom we are fighting? Powerful corporate lawyers. And Political connection. Remember they pay hefty money to many political parties. So don't expect to much favor from politics.


But once we win The thing will change for ever. Everyone will get courage to fight against harassment. And the top management give high priority to prevent harassment. Otherwise they will be behind bars. (Everyone fear punishment)


-Should we FIGHT OR NOT-


We can always wait to see if things getting better automatically by gods grace. Till then spend more painful moments. Anyway, we have only one life.


Choice is YOURS

169: It's time "Wipro" was "WipedOut". The entire organization depends on opportunities from the US. So no wonder 8000 employees were laid off. At Credit Suise they are ruling the roost by not allowing any other software and/or resource vendors to apply for business with Credit Suise. t's time for them to go and energies are already under way to ensure that happens. No individual or organization can work in a foreign land by imposing their rules on the country's citizens. This has nothing to do with free enterprise and everything to do with government sponsored monopoly. They are trying to idnetify the US Senator responsible for making Wipro what it is.

Why do you think that you should listen to what ur managers / HR is saying.
Just treat them as another employee of the same organization.. they r just doing their job to save their ass.. nothing more than that.

176: I have worked in Wipro for nearly 2 and half years.There are no ethics in the company. Sychophancy prevails in the company.Wipro's HR policies are just bullshit. Policies are made in a way to trouble the employees as much as possible. There are many baseless and wierd kind of policies in the company. While working in the Wipro, i tried fighting against these policies. Wrote to HRs, talked to them, talked to the managers, but zero end result. Infact in many cases my matter was escalated to higher management, but i dint leave my stance. Notwithstanding many discussions and arguments nothing happened.
What i observed in the company was managers and HRs always each others side, no matter even if they are wrong. Who gets screwed is none but a common employee.

I know there are many wiproites who have commented on this forum. I want to ask them, have they ever raised their voices against the ever increasing Wipro's bus charges. I had on many instances, but everytime one or the other excuse.
Whatever policies are made in Wipro benefits only the company and its profits. Policies like "there are no shades of grey in the company, its either black or white", "Spirit of Wipro", "Integrity issues" become null and void when they are in favour of the employees.

182: Sorry friends for the confusion.
I am different from LISA and the others but i just for name sake used the ID as sarangi.
We had work today and in our spare time we were going thru the comments and many of us had posted true incidents happening here. Please understand that we too are not enjoying while posting bad about our company, who so ever has posted comments has done it here to express his grief and dismay.
Its then that we noticed that this stupid LISA (or whoever) was replying to every other post with his sick comments telling every one to join him with an email ID sarangi.sr@gmail.com . he was putting a pun on others by saying yes we agree with you etc.
This got me worked out and hence i wanted to settle this.
Hope he wont spam here any more.

183: why don't some senior people come together and start a Cos which runs on cost basis .Running on no profit basis . Surely down the line they will get order as all the IT cos are making a NET PROFIT of 30% which the customer can save . And in future they will think twice to sack employee on filmsy grounds . If this concept clicks , If GOD wishes .....This will ring the dead bell for them. SURE this model will work as all the sacked employee are having enough Exp( but costly resource to Company.. Funny think )

184: Wipro is very famous and notorious for this, same thing happened with me. Thank god I left India in 2002, now well settled USA drive Merc Benz. Anyways I don’t have to live under 55K/PA, drive 15 year old car/ share a car with my neighbour, sleep on comforter on floor or walk in freezing cold for working for India IT company in USA, wait for my neighbour for shopping ride .Indian IT companies are pimps just operate on commission earned by sending people onsite or making people work in offshore for 18 hours a day. All they know is sell for cheap.

I have decided in my life I never work for any Indian IT companies like Wipro , INFY,TCS even if all the Job goes to India. Put Premji behind the bar for screwing up young IT professional career.

187: Dear All,

I don't want to more it longer. Very Short Msg but read it. You all guys know to track your credit record/ history the CIBIL is there wherein Banks will approach this centre to inquire about your before they could process your loan, credit Card and other facilities by financial institutions. Similarly NASSCOM is an org. which has lot of sub folder information containing about each of the member co. & these co. have right to provide any information about their employees, like BLACK LISTING THEM ETC. We all are just sleeping still. We are very active in speaking but nothing shown in action. Just pls don't use rotten words in the blog. If you guys once black listed once here in these org. by doing real mistake or getting in trap if you become a listed one then you can't do anything. Cos will check first their they will not ask you, FYI, this will be like pre-employment check without your knowledge. Hope all you guys go through your documentations when your joining formalities goes. You will have to sign a paper in which it will be said, you will give your employer to check your back status rights(remember it can be done anytime no time is specifically said when can when should not, hence beware of it. HRDs just do it normally with the employees previous employers or references given. As I've already mention these above said org. not in control of normal lay man's to fight for justice. If you want to file a case also in labor court it will take time and even if you will no employer will prefer to take you IN, coz you have created some negative history in your track pulling your employer or Xemployer to the court. No Companys would like to take a chance for this. Brothers & Sisters, I'm a Sr. Manager - HR working for a well built MNC, Im really pity to those who are easily getting trapped this kind of management's wicked play. At the end of the day no one of us can be there without each other. Please understand the situation, tomorrow you might be the one in the trap...so don't ignore if any good things are asked to do. You might think being a HR professional why this guy is guide you to form a organisation. Just simple, you alone cannot fight for justice, you need to have your fellow people to hold you strong to fight against a ORGANIZATION, remember, organisation is big, before they could hire you they will have well set up policies, with a well experienced nodal officer/lawyer to fight for this kind of issues. Unless you have a strong back hold you will not be able to do anything. Being a HR guy many times Ive come across people take offer and don't join or abscond. Tell what should I've to do, though I've a huge Network to black list or find where the person is work and give my feedback to his employer I just ignore coz if not today he will get butt burned tomorrow but it will be late for him to be realized. Sorry, if my words are harsh, here.... as Lisa said, Id strongly recommend you guys to form a ALL INDIA UNION for IT, ITES & Non IT employee welfare. Just think guys our great men are have their max part of contribution in developed countries standing status. If you guys can work hard in your home country without going out and fight for justice and be loyal... it will not take years for things change... but remember everyone should work sincerely and hard to this goal only then you can achieve with no long time span. I wish all the best to Lisa to succeed in bringing up this Union with a very strong team so that it will also provide just for employers and employees as a single point of contact to bring in truth to LIGHT. Thanks ladies and gentleman who have understood my communication, one last suggestion, those who have not understood this what I've told please read this again and again atleast 25 to 30 times you will understand the message. Because reading again and again will send message to your brain again to understand that particular work/matter to understand it more INDEPTH. Thanks

Wishing you all a very successful career and justice for everything.

Sunil

189: HI guys,

This harassment is nothing new for me. If u hear the story of my harrassment u will get tears in your eyes. I was sacked from Infosys Bangalore in 2004 May .Along with the sacking the Project Manager also cast a magic spell on me(he knows a famous black magic technique called kshudhram) after calling me to his cabin. The HAPPY news is that I am still under this Black Magic Spell and the Project Manager(of Banking Business Unit) is still enjoying his life in the U.S. The funniest thing is I cant even go to the police as there is no legal validity for Black Magic guys I am so lucky now I have no other choice than committing suicide because this spell that is cast on me is so unbearable I can assure u that I am the saddest person in the whole world. Can u belive it THIS IS EXTREME HARASSMENT in a company that boasts to be the most employee friendly At least this employee who has been harassed does nt have to die

190: I know that the Managers are harassing Engineers and asking them to quit. Even if you are working hard they would try to sack, because they want their job to be safe. There should be a review committe which will deal with such issues. Female employees threatning male employees in the name of sexual harassment has become very common in Corporate world now. Those who are good for nothing will remain in the company because they are dear to bosses. Please kill this "BOSS is GOD" and he is alway right culture and recognize some one by their talent.

The management should realise that even once even they were team members and grew upto where they are now and understand the importance of the teams at the bottom layer.
We can safely call these junkies BOBS ( Bunch of Bastards).

196: Mr KRISHNA KUMAR

The citizens of India are not slaves. All IT companies are operatin in this country and has to follow the roule of the land. In the name of profit exploitation is an very old practice. In addition, the consequences of that can be terrifying for top management.

Employment lay has some strict rules. Any company in violation to that can be subjected to legal action.

In which authority are you talking? Are you representing any particular Organization here. In addition, what post are you holding? Is it your Organizations policy that you are talking about OR these are your personal opinions?

Whatever the incident that has been narrated is Extermly unethical. And clear violation of the law of the land. And a clear case of exploitation.

This fight is in open already and I am taking this matter personally for the benefit of entire IT and ITES employees of India. My Name is Smruti Ranjan Sarangi, and email ID is sarangi.sr@gmail.com.

I hope you will disclose your identity.

Mr. Azim Premji should stop his greed of earning billions of $ and look after the welfare of his staff. no wonder he is loosing money on his other investments like Subhiksha... Wake up Premji and let Prem (love) flow in your company. treat your human resources better or else you will lose your worth

201: Well it is not a surprise at all that this happened. Wipro is dominated by some arrogant women who think they are great and the top management bow down to them you know why. Well i am also a fateful guy of a similar incident but not from Wipro i worked there for 2 years day in and day out they ensured i worked there even when the entire company was having a blast at megha bowl made sure i man the entire peration i had pneumonia and still they made me work i was on the verges of death and when the doctors who visited the campus after i fell unconscious asked the management to shift me to a hospital immediately and the worst after the admitted that was the last they dint even bother to turn back and see and nor did they provide me a medical insurance i had to bare the entire expense and finally when i was back they harrassed me of all nonsense and also deducted my salary and finally one day asked me to quit and my 4 months salary pending and a Rs 1,00,000 which is gone in the winds. Thanks to Ram Manohar G that he did not go through this and now i am in a state that i will never get a job anymore coz every time a company enquires about me the HR has different stories to say things like i stole a computer and left, i used to steel petrol from bikes so they sacked me and things like that i have a valid releaving letter and also a good track record with the peers. I was heading the entire sales, retention and custmer service.... Simple just do not be too lyal to any bloody company

205: Wipro is a worst company,if our Indian GOVT. did not take any action then our nation fame will be ruined.Wipro should follow some morals like INFOSYS AND SATYAM because they will do their business very genuinely and they explain to media about the happenings.But this worst wipro doesn't follow any rules and regulations.wipro should be banned,because the products prepared by them are also worst.
Azim Premji is also a fraud he done business upto now.He purchased subhiksha and blaming them that they did't told about their losses.Before purchasing any product we will see the pros and cons of a product.This gives us info that Azim premji is not having any knowledge about life and doesn't care for the people.If any person met with an accident we will help him a lot even he is a stranger,but in wipro it is quiet opposite.They laid off sorry harrased and made them to resign about 8000 people.

So,My sincere request to Govt. of india is dismiss wipro from our country.Then half of our country will develop.By seeing this company other companies will learn morals that we should spoil and hurt others.

Becareful freshers don't risk to join wipro.

After paying for Health insurance for 4 yrs when he need financial support TCS is doing such thing.but HR doesnt listem to him and asked him to resign.In IT TCS is known for polcies But all that are bullshit.they give only one week to employee

Top management people are not doing any work and getting good salaries so they are bound to remove associates to prove that they are thinking about company and saving company's revenue.

212: Let's face it from a different perspective: Layoffs are taboo in India. Although our economy is busy aping the west, as far as employee practices go, employers DONOT want to recruit people who are laid off!

The immediate implication, therefore, is that it appears to be more 'preferable' to say that the employee quit, rather than saying that he was fired. And the reason is that our market is a capitalist market (a buyer's market) as far as HR goes. So, the supply is high enough to ensure that 'sacked' employees remain an outlier.

In the US, laying off is common. In Europe, the taboo is similar to what it is in India. So, in the US, getting a job thereafter is not a big issue. In Europe, however, the choices are limited. In India, the choices are even more limited.

I agree that companies should not do that. But, the capitalist wave that is coming into India needs us to face certain realities... One of which is the fact that such companies traditionally, have promoted the 'hire and fire' model. So, this is going to increase in the coming years. As individuals, we need to ensure that this phenomenon should not damage our ambitions and development.

Having a union is probably not going to help soon. The main reason is that unions are lagging behind, in their development, in the IT sector. So, with this scenario, it will be difficult to really 'catch-up'. But eventually, it would. The advantage of the union would be a negotiated solution that is more 'professionally' implemented. Typically, people who would be fired, would be on a list that is cleared by the union. What next? The reality at the individual would remain.

Corporate malpractices like the signing of blank sheets, is a criminal offense. And criminal offenses must not go unpunished (whichever the party is). A developed union could work well to avoid such situations. But, like I said, it is yet to develop. As of now, employees facing this type of situations must come forward and protest. They need to use the media and, we readers must be conscious about this when we recruit next time. So that, we do not make a false assessment of the candidates concerned.

214: The same kind of incident happend with Cognizant, Bangalore. Instead of removing guys in bulk, the HR persons are daily targeting 10-12 persons so that their the company name won't appear in laying off. They are making pressure to employees for quitting company without any reason. When asking for reason they are informing "Company is in very bad situation and not having further projects". While in market they are creating impression that we had never laid off any employee & saying that still we are recruiting.

216:IT COMPANIES ARE NOT HERE FOR CHARITY. IN THE PRESENT TIMES OF RECESSION IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT THEY WILL IMPLEMENT SOME STRICTNESS. THE SITUATION HAS FORCED THEM TO SACK SO MANY EMPLOYEES AND TAKE OTHER HARSH STEPS. THE HR PERSONNEL ARE UNDER TREMENDOUS PRESSURE.IT IS VERY SAD TO KNOW WHAT EVER HAS HAPPENED TO MR.Ram Manohar G. BUT THIS MAY BE SOME SPECIAL CASE. IT COMPANIES HAVE PROVIDED EMPLOYMENT TO SO MANY PEOPLE, EVER THOUGHT HOW MANY OF THEM DO THEIR DUTY SINCERELY. UNDER PERFORMERS WILL HAVE TO SEE THE EXIT DOORS IN THE PRESENT SITUATION. THE COMPANY WON'T PAY HIGH SALARIES TO THE UNDER PERFORMERS. YOU HAVE TO BE THE BEST AND SHOULD JUSTIFY YOUR POSITION AND SALARY. YOU HAVE TO BE A WORTHY ASSET FOR THE COMPANY OR ELSE EXIT DOORS ARE WIDE OPEN FOR YOU.
I AM ALSO A RECRUIT OF WIPRO TECHNOLOGIES AND WAS HURT TO SEE THE COMMENTS POSTED HERE. I HAVE MY SINIORS WORKING IN THE COMPANY WHO HAVE HAD GOOD EXPERIENCE WORKING IN THE COMPANY. EVEN IN THE TIME OF RECESSION ONE OF MY SENIOR, WHO JOINED LAST YEAR, GRADUATION YEAR 2008, FROM AN NIT, SAID HE HAD A SATISFACTORY EXPERIENCE THERE. THE EXPERIENCE WAS COMPARABLE TO ANY OF THE OTHER IT COMPANIES. HE HAD TO FACE A TOUGH TIME INITIALLY BUT NOW HE GOT A PROJECT AND IS HAPPILY WORKING ON IT. WE SHOULD NOT FORGET WIPRO IS INDIA'S 3RD LARGEST MNC.
DO YOUR DUTY TRULY AND THEN YOU WILL DEFINITELY FIND YOUR SELF IN A GOOD POSITION. AND REMEMBER YOU WON'T BE PAID FOR DOING NOTHING.

218: Many of the people who have posted their comments are from Wipro and they know what is the true face of Wipro. Being the 3rd largest IT company, doesn't prove anything. I have seen how managers flatter the clients. In Wipro, to become a manager and bring business, person has to be a sychophant, apart from being skilled. Isn't it the slogan of Wipro that "Client is god, no matter if it is wrong." I was told this on my 1st day in Wipro. Wipro sells its ethics in exchange of money.

222: Out of 15 years I have worked half the time in manufacturing and half in IT. I have seen similar things happening in manufacturing after 1996 recession. The things has not changed much till date. I have seen senior managers using abusive language for their subordinates but because manufacturing is saturated sector and once you are out very less chances of re-employment. They take advantages. The IT is also going through the same phase recesion and then saturation. The good days in the sector are almost over. Businesses all over the world are run for busisness. Profit is the foremost and sole purpose. The humanity angle which people has seen in IT for some years is all deceiving. In manpower crisis period companies put a deceiving mask of good humanae, so that they can attract people. When people become in abundance, they put off the mask and show the real face, which you see now. As the IT sector reaches to it's maturity, all big Lalas will have agreement not to hire from one anothr's company. This will make changing job tougher and better chance for employers to take advantage. There is companies worse than wipro like Sapient. They will fire people and immediately go for hiring. This is totally against law. But in this country and elsewhere money matters and these industrialists have money and they buy governments. If anyone of you find time just go through a book called " Rich dad and the poor dad". This explains the whole evil designs of the business people and how a common citizen's life is used by these people. Many of seems to be either youngsters or have not seen manufacturing sector. Harrassment is the fact of life there for years. During 1990-94 companies used to look heaven but turned into hell by 1996 till date. The only solution is the union. IT people must have union. Only this can give them power to offset money effect.

225:All these HR people are useless.They have no other job other than removing few & recruting new.They are least concerned about the employee welfare in real terms.Under the name of performance Management which is always subjective,they tries to fool the management to save their jobs.Removing an employee under the name recession,meltdown,ect is all bullsheet as all these compenies are making hefty profits & the employee cost is only a merge percentage of their total turnover and hardly affect their profits.This is a bad practice started by Indian companies recently taken from the west without adopting the good like social security,medical care,ect.Will they remove their old father & mother just bacause they are not productive & could not earn anymore.
Remember,the people who are talking about the performance,age,output also have to face the same problem when they bacame 45/50+.Atleast the situation today is better but is going to be worst in near future which these new bread of Management doesn't understand.They should understand that experience counts in the time of trouble.

231:The inhuman acts cannot be brushed up in the name of professionalism. Let us understand that the companies are operating in this country and using the resource of this country. They have to abide by the rule of the land and have to operate within the boundary of this. No company can operate or make profit by exploiting the citizen of a country for profit. No one has right to exploit even one employ to make profit. Who is making profit if an employ is harashed?
In the rat race, we all have forgotten what acceptable behavior is. And we have forgotten how to teach that to a big organization. Assuming that we are too small to stand up.

237: Every word spoken by the guy sounds true. Since I being Wiproite know all that. Its almost a daily activity in Wipro. The moment a person comes in free pool, they hand over Enrich letter to him/her. This sound like Wipro is only thinking to work on contracting and no permanent employment. If Wipro management is not able to get the person on project, it meand Wipro hasn't got any job to do, it means Wipro will soon be ending its story in the IT market. There is no appreciation of the person's effort being put on last assignment and billability period. There is no value to loyality by staying and working the same company.

Azimji need to think that, this time they are touching a very sensitive issue of the people who work in the company, their finance, their personal life. No one would wait to get paid in 1/2 salary and continue in Wipro. This person would also not come back in future.

I think, its a advice to all those who are thinking to get a job in Wipro that, please search somewhere else, since after coming here you will have to face other challenges which are worst that searching a job.

Thanks.

238: I am writing down the truth on what happened at Wipro. Two events propelled wipro to this. Not that wipro was better or an company with ethics before these events. The first event was the economic turmoil and global recession that started last year. The second event was when the Obama administration started regulation of aliens employed by US companies, visa regulations and taxes for companies outsourcing jobs. Similar events happened in UK to some degree as well. Now the result of the first event the economic recession was many US comapanies who were outsourcing to Wipro cut down lot of projects, downsized existing teams etc. Due to which Wipro lost revenue, plus found lot of people on the bench hence led to huge profit margin and operation margin pressure. In order to correct this they started a campaign of laying off people in the name of NI etc. They started schemes like "Rejoice" and Rejevunate etc to cut down salary and employee benefits etc. These were imposed as hard objectives on individual unit HR's who started the draconian campaign of making employee's self resign etc to avoid making it look like lay-offs. As they have a bad reflection on companies image. Due to the second event wipro wanted to appease the US goverment, hence it suddenly started a campaign of diversity at US and Europe to show that they were not only bringing people from India, but are recuriting local foreign employee's as well. Since unlike Indians whom they dont pay well at onsite if he is not at a senior level. They pay local foreign employee's well above average pay of Indians in Employee's except for few. This again put a cost pressure on Wipro. Hence this accelerated the process of cutting cost and hence sacking more people in India. The problem with Wipro was that it was not honest about what it was doing and trying to paint an image of this being a normal process. They also took advantage of the fact that Indian labor regulations are very limited and there are no protection for employee's as done in US & Europe. There is nothing wrong in laying off people to manage cost. But Wipro should have done it in an Honest and transparent manner. It was simply unethical and misonduct by the company and it has certainly left a bad taste on employee's. Many are waiting for the right oppotunity to leave the company. I agree wipro is the worst company to work for.

244: All the companies are involved in sacking their best employeees because the employers are not much concerned with the work done by the employee but by the money paid regularly to management as bribe. Since bribe is a good amount so every manager is involved in this. I personally have been sacked by many companies in Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida.

249: Heard at Wipro meeting rooms:

1. There are hundreds waiting outside with Cvs.
2.We know how to make you work till 2 in the night. But we do not want to do that (Manager upset with client feedback).
3. If you work like this or do not change your attitude, you will not excel in your next job.

Another trick employed to harass employees is to ask them to put the speaker on on your phone, and shout over it so that everybody in the floor hears it.

Friends, these kinds of tactics are fir for defamation suits. Record such conversations in your mobile and file a case.

251: No one is against lay offs or organiations making profit. atleast not in my ODC. What we are against is thte unfair appraisal, unfair salary hikes, unfair layoffs and the unprofessional supervisors.
People like Gokul Kamath (fit to clean TOILET) are made general managers. By logging into 'mywipro' i come to know my HR. I havent met her in my 3 years life, Nor does she respond to mails.
there are tons of surveys conducted all result to nothing. Stupid training programmes are made here that dont match to your skills and you are put into it. tif you fail, thats it. They would give you an NI even if you are good at your work. they would even close billability without even informing you.
Appraisal process is a silly joke. My appraisal was closed even without discussion and after my salary hike. Salary is pathetic.
there is absolutely no one to question anything here. ombuds process / MITR etc is just a show biz. People who dont understand you or your problems will advice you.
I also partly blame the engineers who put butter on managers, to get an ONSITE or H1 VISA stamping without considering what impact it makes on the other team mates.

Any people who are happy working here are either
1. Highly paid.
2. Get lot of onsite opportunities from time on.
3. just are comfortable here by attending meetings and bluffing around.

The only people i approve here are the security people wou are very honest and would return your mobile phone if you have kept it. and the IMG people who would help you get back your computers to life. the WIPRO systems are so pathetic here. 512 MB RAM and they wouold load all wipro policies in it that would make it so slow. for everything else we need to raise request, get approval from supervisors who wont even check mails, as they would be busy bluffing around well if we ask him about anything like that, well this would reflect in your appraisal cycle.

Last but not the least
IF you are JOINING WIPRO make 2 points very clear.
ONE
Be sure that you negotiate with the HR for a higher pay in the initial itself. else you are doomed. Coz atleast the salary would be motivational to you you WONT get salary HIKE more than 8% per year unless you are one of those buttering types who dont care for your team mates.
"We will give you only 30% hike from the previous company" would be the tone you will hear which is BS, as you will meet people who will be earning double your pay with half your skills,
Make sure WHAT YOU WILL BE GETTING IN HAND. DONT FALL for the CTC joke.as there are lot of silly stuffs like a QPLC component here that you would get only in 3 months the amount depending on the profit made by the Business unit or i dont care what as its too complicated to calculate here.

TWO
MAKE sure which horizontal you are put in. Wipro keeps everyone under testing services as thats what WIPRO is fit for. So mention your skills E.G. JAVA and see to it that you are put into development PES and alike. else you will be given trainings and will have to write tests on technologies that you have no clue about.

Be loyal to your company as long as you are here. If you dont like this place, leave immediately before they discover it.

252:Do you think leaving wipro is so easy? If any of them comes to know about what you are thinking they will increase the harassment from that time onwards. And once you put your resignation papers they may threaten you with things like, they wont give you experience letters unless you stay for the bond period. This can be 2-3 months for offshore employees and upto 6 months if you happen to go onsite for a week.

There is lots of bullshitting going around in this company for sure about offers on onsite etc but things never happen at all for some of them while even worse candidates will be at onsite forever.

I appreciate your step taken on this issue. But just reporting in police will not help much. As you know inida is full of corruption so I advice you to contact News channel like AAJ-TAK or any bangalore tv channel & share all your information with them. This will help not only u but to all IT guy & I guess once you will take this bold steps each & every IT person will join u in ur agenda. So please do this steps

All the Best

254: I am working with Wipro since 5 years. Though I am not very happy with this organization, but still feel okay... allmost all IT companies in India are alike.
I strongly support that, the middle level managers in Wipro are worst people and good for nothing. I knew one manager at Wipro Kolkata office, who thaught himself as a king of the office and forced his sub-ordinates to obey his nasty politics. Sometimes he used his official power and took advantages by any means.... even with female employes. I don't believe that higher managers don't know this... but still it went for quite long times. Very recently I heard that that buggerd manager has been sacked....

255: Dear All Friends,

Let me be little harsh on our own self first. We have let this happen to ourselves. If this had happened in 1970 the company could have been facing 100 charges and would be answering to media and court now.

What is needed here is ACTION not mere crying. I would like to meet people among you who would like to take some concrete step to rectify this. We the adults of this generation must rise up to the occasion to straighten things up. It does not need big courage or hard work. All we need to do is just standup together for the cause. The things will be all right the moment we show courage to stand up.

We can’t tolerate such work culture in our motherland. And we won’t let ourselves tortured in our own homes. It’s our home let’s fix it. We would be laughing in the eye of our fathers and our next generation.

Please Email me on the following address if you want to stand up to the occasion. We shall meet and take some concrete action on this. sarangi.sr@gmail.com

Regards,
Mr. Smruti Ranjan

256: Here is the Truth by a WIPROITE:

Yes all the allegations made are correct as I am facing most of these problems currently.

The appraisal process is a mammoth reward machinary for the mostly incompetent favourites, and after that you are told that dude, u deserved better, mebbe next time...but keep on working like that.

moreover, they started a new harrasment system of some tests... I am working on a particular technology and all of a sudden I am asked to write practical knowledge based tests on technologies I never have laid my hands on failing which attracts a NI.....and the cream of the cake is that the mail announcing this Lordly behaviour has "CONRATULATIONS, you have been selected for the test" written in the font of 25 all over it.

Moreover, the ethics are forgotten rather were flushed long ago along with Vivek Paul.....the company that lays too much stress on integrity shows fake experience in case of fresh resources to client.

And, inspite of making consistent profits, rather hitting the targets regularly, we are given half salary and enrichment where some apples of "THEIR" eyes are kept billable for doing nothing or even worse, they are in free pool, yet not enriched. Why? Only god knows.

The organization is fast becoming a pool of incompetent good for nothing people who someday will reach the upper echoleons of the company, infact, in our circles, the biggest curse you can caste on someone is hoping he or she wears a red tag one day (Red Tags are 5 yrs WIPRO experienced resources). All those who can, and who ever get a chance to, try to escape, barring those who know that this is the best place for viruses like them to survive and evolve and hold prestigious designations and the most appealing, controlling the lives and fates of the few unfortunates who will be reporting to them one day.

There is a huge policy framework though, but when it comes to the criteria for enrichment, policies change everyday, person to person, situation to situation. Other policies too are being violated on a regular basis.

The list of attrocities is endless, and I have not even started yet......

258: There are too many inexperienced manager in the IT industry, who have no idea about the legal implication of their behaviors and behave like bullies in the school. Forcing employees to resign is a standard procedure in the industry. And there are many psychological torturing methods are in practice.
This is a serious matter and must be investigated as soon as possible. Unless the Employee takes a back step in pursuing it.
If it is found to be, true WIPRO has to act against the guilty Managers and public its policy about employ welfare. Unless of course it is part of their corporate policy to harass the employees and the managers were just working as per the policy. In that case some senior directors will be answerable to this.
There is a law in this country that works. If it does not we will make it work. No one is above law.

By the way Do anyone here know “Ram Manohar G” personally or his contact number?

260:My dear Smruthi madam, this case is not only in IT firms in India but many firms in Gulf & the European countries. That's why U can find many murders, extortions, hangings of managers/ top level in the foreign countries by workers(Low & Middle level). After this recession came there is no respect for the staffs who toil hard and they are forced to quit by various tortures and the companies top level dont accept it saying their managers are good and they express their funny behaviour upon the employees saying "Tum choothya ho hamay paagal math banao". In fact the recession today in the market has made the management and its middlemen "choothya". I have this horrible experience in an Indian company in Gulf where "My life has become miserable" and still that trauma persists even after my 2 months arrival. And 1 thing in life I have learnt "Humanity is dead, achchay achchay chalaygaye, ullu k pattay rehaygaye" This dialogue is for the useless managers who feel that they can survive in this world tretaing their employees like this....... Forcing employees to resign is a standard procedure in the industry. And there are many psychological torturing methods are in practice. One method of HR practice is this(Filthy method), as the world runs very fast, employees are fired/ tortured till the last. Nothing to feel about, just leave upon the Lord and move forward. Those days were different, here whatever U do U have to repent it and go.... Yeh haath de aur yeh haath se lelay (Lord's policy). Sorry if I have hurted U. And I feel sorry for that Professional who was forced to resign and he is married. Surely his curses will strike the guilty one day.
