Infosys 2012 - Layoffs, Paycuts and Suicides
A HR recruiter called me - "There is a sudden surge in Infosys profiles in all job sites". Out of 10 candidates listed 4 are from Infy .. this was a rarest of rare .. you can't find many Infy profile if your search using Tech / Func terms. The recruiters used to search with Company name.
Things have changed a lot .. the majority of Infosys staff has sent feelers to their friends in other IT companies. This appraisal was very bad for the Infy employees and adding to it the message from management on deferring promotions and pay hikes.
Not just in job market - Infosys is now not trusted in matrimony too .. Brides are no more interested in Infosys grooms and vice versa. This trend started generally with Software professionals . now spread to other areas also...
Who has to be blamed .. though many will point fingers and Shibulal and co .. the real culprit is Mr Narayanmurthy
He was the one who took the credit when Infy was flourishing and he has to be blamed for the fall .. after all nothing changed after he left .. his policy of 'serving' the customer by 'screwing' the employees didn't last long
