Trainees in tears as Infosys mass firings leave their careers in limbo

Tears streamed down the face of a young trainee from Madhya Pradesh as she pleaded with Infosys officials on the night of February 7. “Please let me stay just one more night. I will leave tomorrow. Where will I go now?” she begged, only to be told she had to vacate the Mysuru campus immediately.

She was among nearly 400 trainees dismissed by the IT giant that day after failing internal evaluations three times, according to a report in the MoneyControl.
