First time I met a real guy. Lakshmi just go on with your mission. I am 100% sure you can make a place in every ones heart, even if it is made of very hard stones…….

I am really impressed by Lakshmi. What I liked is this guy is his confidence. Lakshmi if you need any help I am with you. Just think innovatively and work on that. Good Luck!

Laxmi: This is not at all okay. I think you need to see a doctor for your mental condition.

Listen, firstly I have no interest in knowing all that you are telling me. Next writing this as a comment on the blog (or any public forum) is a sure sign of insanity.

I have told this to you earlier and I am repeating. Stop writing comments on my blog. From now on - all you comments

Jaya, Welcome back! I hope it was a nice vacation and you spent lots of time with sweet kids. There is some good news which I would like to tell you.

$ 1 /- Today is 15th September. My family and many of my good friends are very happy because today is my birthday. I feel also in the similar way. There is more interesting thing and that is about my name Lakshmi. I do not remember that

True, at least they are thinking innovatively. Only thing is that either the employees are not taking much interest or planning is not perfect. So I hope if they do it with their interest it may help more. There are also some limitations as you said the service companies don’t have much scope, these things also effects.

Well, Infy or something else, the situation is much the same in all the services companies. Infy is just a shade better than many others in terms of its forsightedness for their own cause. A very effective business strategy is what they have and their bench strength is what gives them considerable advantange.

Coming to the other side of the table, well, some employees don't care a bit as

First thing is that I am not working in Infy and I also don’t have any similar plans to join this company. See, every company has certain limitations and is also applicable for Infosys. You can not blame any company working phenomena based on the overall problems India have. There is so much unemployment in India but the selection for Job of any company is independent of this. They will select

Quite frankly, if you think IT companies give a lot of thought for their employees, you are living in a dream. Are you working in Infy, by any chance?
These days, the policy of IT companies is to hire when required and fire when not required. No company gives out jobs like our good, old sarkari naukri (except for some).
right now, the IT industry is on a high (again) and people are not

2005-09-10T01:41:00.000+05:30

I don’t think so. There are many companies who appoint their employees on the project basis where Infosys appoint on regular basis. This company is giving preference and value to their employees (this is other thing that they are paying less and that’s why many people left the job just after completing the training or may be in between). On this ground I feel happy to say that Infosys has good

2005-09-09T12:07:00.000+05:30

Lakshmi, quite frankly, it is the failure of the management when there is no project for people to be assigned to. Because, even if people are sitting on the bench, the company has to pay them and that is a revenue loss. And no company likes that. Also, just because a person has graduated from IIM doesnt him/her a great manager (Similarly, all IITians are not great engineers). Looking at your

Well, this comment posted by jaya was utilizing efficiently the vacant time when employees don’t have any project in hand. It is not concerned with the judging of a particular kind of employees. There are so many people who left Infy because they got offer from some other company giving high salary.

Jaya donot judge people by your own standards... there are some people who are so lazy that they are perfectly happy not doing anything.
And as for others they move out of Infy ASAP.

2005-09-06T20:05:00.000+05:30

There are always few restrictions for companies or say the things for which company is made. The company working in software industry does its best to get the project from the clients and how they get it is another hard working procedure in which so many management people from renowned institutions hired by that company utilizes his or her skills and does so much hard work, influencing so many

Just using some management jaargons over here :)
Infy and other service driven companies are more of a process driven companies.
They want to achieve high CMM, SECMM, ISO levels. These levels are the selling points
for these companies. It's essentially like a car assembly plant where people are just
fitting in codes,instead of car parts.
In such a scenario, why do they need
