There will be times of distress for corporate houses and this can force them to take the steps which have solution. Mittal urged to create a platform where government and industry both can hold discussions on such a subject.
Corporate houses need to bring more flexibility from time to time to help companies know how to behave during bad phase, said Mittal.

1: I totally agree with you Mr.Mittal, thats
always the case not only with the MNC\'s
today, but also with our own too. We, the
Indians, always tend to follow others when it
comes to acting against such situations where
we need to sit and think what best can be
made out of the situation.

3: Absolutely right. My vote goes to Mr. Mittal.
When companies earn profit,they pay fat
bonuses to Top Exec and when company makes
loss, they fire the small and middle level
work force by reasoning cost cutting on human
resource.Well...why don't they fire Top Exec
or cut their salaries. This is the problem
with all MNCs.Due to Hire & Fire policies
adopted by some Employers, ppl now are making
choices to either not to join those firms or
even if they join, they join to step up for
next level and leave on their
own.........kinda same-use and throw.
Companies should learn that there are only
some times when they make loss and there most
of the times when they make profit and hence
all Human Resources to be well respected and
not fired. Mr. Mittal:You have a point &
I will be your next employee.

4: I really appreciate Mr. Mittal's view. But
giving statements in press is many times
different when it comes to actual execution.
I guess time will prove his great words.

employees go to the level of US workers and
Mr. Mittal will change his statement.

6: its correct, i have agreed upnon Mr. Mittal's
statement,and every enterpreneur should know
this reality, that companies are driven by
their employees only and if they work on this
kind of policies, they surely going to have
bad phases in future.

7:I agree wutg you
Look at TATAs they dont indiscrematley fire the people
All the companies should be employee and employer driven
Not employer driven for the profilt
I have not seen an employer in India betting all his money in the ventures
They always take bank loan and use it
It is again investors money
There must be system where employers should divest their hiold on the companies once it is bank corrupted.

8: I don't know, how much is it correct but its
one of the strongest statement i have heard
from any conglomerate's founder or CEO. Hope,
it goes into the mind of some of the
unorganized corporate houses.

9:nice words. but, MAHI, if you don't even know
how much of it is correct, why do you sound
impressed - so much so that you want others
to learn from it?
