The IT Scene

Hi fellas, I am back again! (I can't remember when I was playing forward ;) )

Infosys says, No hikes, no cuts, no layoffs this year. Well what about those 2100 that you layed off last week??? I really doubt Infosys's honesty now (With clients as well as with employees).

Smells fishy to me!

By the way, Congrats TechMahindra!
