Many people fail in this question. I see many people who called me, and I help them in giving maximum confidence to them before their HR call. But many people accepted self-resignation as they did not able to face HR threats. You need to be mentally strong and should not be influenced by others. Typical example, I will tell others is if you have a property like flat or gold and if HR threatens you to give the property in their name, will you agree or not?

My name is Shyam Sundar. I worked with one of the top 5 Indian IT companies. I have around 23 years of experience in IT industry.
I want to start this story from the most recent event. Yes, today [03-08-2020I received termination letter from the company for which I worked for the past 18.5 years. This termination comes as a surprise to me as I did not have any intimation from my company regarding my termination. After 18.5 years of service, I was issued a perfunctory termination letter.

Rishad Premji, Chairman of Wipro in his press release mentioned that Wipro has no plan to lay off any of its employees. If Wipro is forcing employees to go on LOP, is it not called as layoff? Why Wipro is acting against the announcement of its Chairman? Did Chairman tell a blatant lie in front of the media as the happening in the company contradict his statement?

Corona virus spread is causing havoc in each and every sector of the industry. This causes various issues in information technology as well. Companies in IT sector made most of the employees to work from home and manage the client deliverables.
But in recent news, NASCOM, centralized association that represents IT companies requested Indian government to pay partial salary for the excess workforce. This allows IT companies to survive and if this is not done, companies will incur deep losses which create more crisis in the future. That is their argument.
