Mysuru layoffs: NITES threatens protest; Infosys defends testing norms

Pune-based IT workers union NITES on Wednesday said it will not hesitate to start a protest along with trainees, who were laid off recently by Infosys, if the government does not take “appropriate” action.

Infosys said that every trainee joins with full understanding that performance evaluations are key part of their progress, and asserted that all eligible trainees (over 98 per cent) have received their relieving letter upon separation, along with outplacement services, severance pay, counselling, among other measures.
