Hi friends....

According to a web report, Wipro has given marching orders to as many as 33 of its employees who formed the part of the company's candidate relationship management team.

The team was specifically responsible for talent acquisition. However, with a hiring freeze across centres, these recruiters had little to do.

The report quotes an employee who on the condition of anonymity said that they were told on March 17 that they have only thirteen days left in the organisation. By March 30, all the team members were relieved from service and the team was dissolved. According to him, none of them were given notice.

Earlier in February, the company said it would honour the job offers it made to 8,000 freshers, though there is a possibility of this spilling over to next year.

Is this the beginning of mass layoffs ??????

Yes that may be the case balaji, as still the freshers they recruited haven't got their jobs and they are delaying the process, and slowly but surely some of the Indian companies are also starting to layoff...i am not sure about the mass layoffs, but pretty sure that freshers will face problem with the recruitment that these companies did..
