Days after Wipro confirmed that it let go of 452 freshers for performing poorly on internal assessments after delaying onboarding, an employee organisation has said it will be submitting a complaint to the labour department for an inquiry.
The Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES), a union of IT employees, said that it 'strongly condemns the unethical layoffs done by Wipro.'
"For a year these employees were struggling to join the company despite clearing interviews, trainings, assessments and internships. The company has not paid a single rupee to these employees and fired them illegally. We will be submitting a complaint to the Labour Authorities to conduct an enquiry," NITES President Harpreet Singh Saluja said.
Saluja said that employees who were given offer letters on or before February 2022 and were awaiting onboarding, have been informed that their last date is January 2023.
