Wipro Boss Gets "Hate Mail" As 300 Fired For "Moonlighting" | Read
Playing in a band over the weekend is different from secretly working for rivals, Wipro boss Rishad Premji underlined this week as the soap-to-tech business group said it has fired 300 employees for "moonlighting". Some other tech majors - such as IBM, which has a huge presence in India, and the homegrown Infosys - have joined the chorus to call moonlighting "an unethical practice". "Cheating, plain and simple" is how Mr Premji described it. He said he is not deterred by hate mail he's been getting over his tweet, The Times of India reported. And his company remained stern, too, in its latest statement: "Certain employees found to be operating in circumstances that are in direct conflict with Wipro's interests have been terminated."
