Rishad Premji, executive chairman of Indian IT services giant Wipro, revealed on Wednesday that the company fired 300 employees for moonlighting with its competitors.
"The reality is that there are people today working for Wipro and working directly for one of our competitors. We've actually discovered 300 people in the last few months were doing exactly that,"Premji called such activity"a complete violation of integrity in its deepest form," adding that"there's no space for someone to work for Wipro and competitor x, y, and z.
There is a lot of chatter about people moonlighting in the tech industry. This is cheating - plain and simple."I've never got so much hate mail as I got for that and I think it was meant more sincerely than people interpreted it," said Premji. Premji did clarify that by the term"moonlighting" he meant having a second job secretly. However, his message became a little muddled as he declared an employee should be candid with their employer about their after-hours activities, disclosing if they"play in a band at night or work on some project over the weekend."
"The two adult individuals – the organization and the individual – can make a concerted choice about whether that works for them or doesn't work for them as an organization," said Premji, whose LinkedIn bio shows him serving on at least four boards.
Skilled employees should avoid any IT co with Indian management. These cos will be run as auto factories.
