Infosys firing – employees shocked by the sudden announcement?

If reports are to be believed then Infosys firing (or layoff) is turning out to be a painful issue for the existing employees of Infosys.

It seems that deviating from the norm under which employee rating for two years has been watched before being fired – this year just on the basis on one yerar’s rating people are asked to go.

According to popular layoff blog Layofftracker at Blogspot - “The whole exit procedure is effected to the employee as a sudden shock where he/she is called for a mysterious meeting where he/she is threatened of dire consequences if they fail to accept their demand to resign. A tailor made resignation letter is placed before him/her and they are brain washed to sign it. After they sign it, their ID cards are snatched and they are escorted out of the company premises by a HR who doesn’t even allow to bid adieu to fellow colleagues. All this happens within a time frame of 45-60 mins where you are suddenly on the road retracing all that took place in the past 1 hour.”

Many employees have reportadly left the comments online that false policies are said to be followed when an employee is forcefully made to accept that he is an under performer even though he/she has achieved all the set targets. He is told that he will be put under a performance improvement plan where he/she would be closely monitored for a 6 months period and then based on his/her performance in that a report would be sent to HRD which decides the future of that person in Infosys; this year employees are told that its a wrong information and they are asked to sign their resignations forcefully.

Many employees whoa are asked to leave are also often reported complaining about the politics in the whole process of evaluation.

As one of our reader has commented – if you have to lay off – just layoff – why you are laying off people under the pretext of poor performance.
