Poaching Row Pits Infosys and WIPRO against Cognizant | Vantage with Palki Sharma

[@hydrilara]

When you treat employees as disposable assets then the last thing you will ever need to expect from them is loyalty.

[@sarmasvali6147]

definitely true, company rules applies to an employee only when he is in that company, not when he is working at other one.

[@navinblr12]

Cogni pays better simply

[@beyourself7280]

Employee and company have an agreement between them, not a relationship. Company pays and gets service of the employee in return. Using word 'loyalty' in a business setting only shows how delusional people are. Business needs be conducted like a business, don't make it a relationship.

[@catladyanddogowner3527]

This mindset prevails everywhere. Thanks for highlighting it. When employees are considered temporary resources then how can they be pushed to become loyal. Employees will become loyal when they are provided with opportunities to grow and recognition for their hard work. Also in the private sector, switching jobs is common. Then why won't someone go after a better deal.

[@hydrilara]

@@beyourself7280 you are delusional yourself. In India, there is such thing as loyalty and morality. If you are a westerner you didn't understand this. In my vicinity, there is a papad making small scale company, when the owners son went bankrupt, the employees saved the company by lending money and working freely for almost 8 months until it has restored. They did all this because of sheer respect and loyalty towards the owners father. That is loyalty. Indian people if you treat them right, they will take bullet for you before it takes you. Business with out loyalty, morality and ethics will rob your piece of mind.

[@mernkanthri3941]

They did not even take my exit interview and treated me like garage. No respect for loyal employees. Now they started crying. Karma.

[@amolshirsat2606]

Very well said Palki. Employee should not be binded with any such clause of joining to competitors and company should not sue the employee for this reason. It’s very obvious that his skill will be required by companies in same field/domain, so why to put such unfair clauses in the appointment letter. If I am not wrong, you also face similar issues while switching your job this year.

Also, salary ranges should be disclosed in job posting so people know what salary is offered for the job.

[@Ami7166]

It's a bad Idea. You know the stock market . How quick the rise and fall can be. That would happen for a job role.

[@mm-vg1ld]

They don't reveal it, because they hire 5 people for the same work but give different salaries to each one.

[@ukulkarni]

@@Ami7166 It is now mandatory in New York state. And it is making people realize the market rate for their jobs. We should also try that in India.

[@vipulvirus]

When market goes down companies are first to fire thousands of people in name of budget forecast. So employees are also correct to find better options for them when market has opportunities

[@deepakchandani5237]

appreciate your team for making this. I am a software engineer and one my previous employer filed a civil case against me for such non-sense reasons. (and btw I worked with prev employer for 5.5 yrs) Things like these should be made public because some companies aim to scare and exploit their employees.

[@jerinaelsa]

From WION to firstpost. Talent should be appreciated.👍🏻

[@israelbalogun3062]

Several years ago, I was tasked with negotiating a resolution to the issue of a United Nations agency poaching staff members from an organization with which I was affiliated in Iraq. This was a challenging situation, as there was animosity between the two organizations due to their presence in humanitarian settings. I was informed that the UN agency had recruited some of our staff. However, I brought the management team together and emphasized the importance of our partnership and the potential for collaboration and synergy. My initiative for peace was ultimately successful, and we worked together while I was there. The staff members who moved did so due to the attractive remuneration packages and opportunities offered by the UN agency.

[@SIDEWAYS1.0]

[@hareeshur1]

Very well articulated Palki, thanks a bunch for brining this up. This has been happening for ages and here is a living example been working for couple of decades with absolutely no recognition or visbility. The leaders like this CTS CEO tend to take familiar talent with them, whom they've worked with for long and this is a typical one of the cases, same has happened with Mindtree/LTI too and i'm certain with other services, product firms.

None of those anti-poaching clauses in employment aggrements are un-enforseeable. The employer cannot restrict anybody's ability to work anywhere.

True, but companies can still harass you since our legal system is broken. This is why most employees fall in line once they get a legal letter

[@nelsontan8178]

maybe these companies are thinking why the employees do not have loyalty

because Infosys has not given hike to its employees whom they hired in nov-dec 2021 for 2 years in row. They are still working in their entry salary. But with more work

[@mahesh84]

why to be even loyal to company .. you should be loyal to money

Loyalty is not something you can expect in this industry when employees are the first to be fired when the companies foresee a slightest dip in their profit margins. Gone are the days when people used to say proudly we worked in a company and retired with dignity.

Poaching is happening since decades. Sometimes competitor companies internally hook up on not taking eachothers employees. They even coordinate their HR department to cross inform the other company if someone appears for interview.

[@vasudeva_g]

Its 100% correct, the company I worked in did raise as per market standards but if someone joins they have better pay than seniors and we do all the work train them make sure we taught them well apart from doing our job, but we ask for a raise, they say its not company policy, we can give as much if you are a new joinee not an existing one, wtf is that logic a person working hard make sure everything works fine for years will not get paid well but the person who gets better pay than existing one if he comes from other compay, companies should think about their employees
