I come across an article where many TCSers have expreesed discontent about this firing....
One of the commentator Gagan gave some reasons.....
"The aftermath I see with such a decision from here,
1. TCS which was known as a secure company doesn’t stand different from any other company. It is now going to be known as a ‘cruel’ company
......................
5. This is going to impact not just TCS but whole IT sector, as other companies which hire in bulk may also take a similar stand.
6. Seems like the retirement age in IT sector is going to drift down to 35-40 years as freshers are being seen to replace experienced
7. People in coming generations (new pass outs from universities) are also going to loose interest in IT jobs and fewer good people would get into this field To summarise, if you are a TCSer you have got everything to speak against CEO/COO/Board of members/big VPs who are increasing their annual package by crores. You have got everything to speak against RMG and HR department, the most useless department."
Priya says about girls being recruited in IT companies......
"This is a bad remark on boys saying that girls are the only work perfectionist. Hardly few girls are working in the upper ladder of these Indian IT companies.
Boys bear the total responsibility of his family as he is the main bread winner of the family. Learn to respect the hard working males. Girls in IT just earn supportive income for their family.
Indian IT companies are happy recruiting girls due to reason that Many will retire voluntarily after marriage or after their child’s birth and will not last long as experience increases above 7+.
Many Boys work here day and night to fix the production issues, work extra time and in weekends ,not getting paid for extra hours and finally getting fired like this sadly.All their hardwork ends in vain. Almost 28000 male employment will get hit by this lay off and only 2000 girls will be fired in this massive restructuring."
Speaking simply, IT companies don't need to employ so many people after 10-12 years of experience & they need fresh supply. Thats why TCS is firing 30000.....
So it seems TCS is hiring more in US at the cost Indians now, may be due to arm-twisting by US....Infact Obama Administration praised TCS for the same last year......
So it seems 40 year is the new retirement age in the IT industry now....& industry is becoming an IT bubble.....Those who are in IT industry should plan accordingly....
