I am working for one of the top Indian IT companies (Wipro Technologies) for more than 2 years as a Team Leader. I have spotless records until now and I was elevated as a manager few months back. During an informal discussion with my Supervisor, he said “Show me your balls and I have to batter you”. On account of maltreatment, I filed a harassment complaint against my supervisor. HR personnel just ignored my complaint. My company has an internal grievance procedure(Ombudsman) that takes care of these concerns and the outcome of this grievance hasn’t been disclosed yet. Few days after this incident, suddenly the Technical manager said he is not satisfied with my performance because of which he is releasing me from the project. Investigation by the HR folks was not transparent. Now they have terminated me though I was not guilty. No notice period was given. Since I have also filed a complaint against my supervisor, will termination be considered as retaliation?
As reported, in excess of 15000 employees were sacked similarly. Another 5000 on the bench are treated as surplus and may be terminated or asked to quit. My view is that WIPRO is becoming second Satyam and very soon it will be acquired by some other company as it is not transparent in its actions many people are becoming victims of persecution and vengeance in the name of recession
Please feel free to address such problems in this website.

I predicted the values going down and opted to leave Wipro prior all ‘Bad game’ started. My sympathy is for those who affected by layoff at Wipro pray god to resolve their financial risk that materialized due to loss of job.Lay off is not solution for the problem . Due to financial crunch position , we don’t throw away anybody from home.
There are always better solution to the problems.Certainly,layoff is not right solution.
Experience matter alot in IT industry.Loosing best people is the loss which will not gained so easily and with the same credit and spirit.

Am an ex-employee of Wipro and recently left this dirty company fortunately… Most of the Technical Managers and Delivery Managers in Wipro are sitting and eating happily… And for performance reasons firing the innocent and hard working Techies…In fact most of Technical Managers in wipro are not technical and they are like Brokers.. they do all sorts of politics.. cheatings… If Premiji will not open his eyes atleast now, yah.. definetly WIPRO will become another SATYAM… no doubt..

No yaar.. Wipro is a huge company. Mr.Premji will not be able to go into such details and find the BUG :). But somehow the things should reach to Premji, may be in a hard way.
I think that will happen soon. When many victims start filing case, Mr. Premji would become reachable.
