The Blame Game.

Even Stupidest of stupid wouldn’t believe 500 stupid were employed and getting paid for nothing.

No one is playing blame game here.

I don’t know why TCS laid off just 500. They have got more. Let’s back Track. Chuck the entire Training team who are just vegetating doing almost nothing, the so called PIP (performance improvement plan) team who have proved themselves worthless, Resource management team for not knowing what they are supposed to do, the HR’s who negotiate for cheap resources and the interview panel who think they are oh-so-holy great that they can judge anyone and anything within a period of 1hr to 45 minutes.

For All Big IT Firms out there: Please introspect there is something seriously wrong with your Trainers, HR Planners, Resource management team and the interview panel.

Introspection on why employees don’t perform.
· Most company has the bench policy and employees vegetate for months together doing almost nothing. The performance of the employee for this period is not monitored. Not a fault of the employee!!! I don’t blame the company too. But give these employees a little more chance
· Moving resources just before the performance appraisal period. Crazy. The Employee, Team lean or the Project manager know what to do and how and what to rate. It’s the Employee who gets all the beating.
· Resource Management team: Cascading resources within multiple technologies. I hate this. Most employees don’t have option. The quality of work is lost. Not many can groom well.
· Interview panel: For interviewing candidates 2 yrs or less most companies employ juvenile resources. STOP this please. They most often quiz them on what they know. Ask them to quiz them on their algorithmic skills and problem solving skills.
· Trainees and PIP (performance improvement plan) team: You are not a school teachers to say more than 60% of my students are brighter and 20% average and ONLY 20% are weak. And people who sit there are not school children. They are educate. A good teacher will know who is dumb and who is good the very first day they step in.

I am not blaming any IT company in particular. It is fine to layoff but a little introspection would do wonders in the lives of many.
