WIPRO

[dspsyssts]

Working in a bank.

New project just in for a 32,000 customer merge project, will take approx 10 contractors a good 6 months to complete.

I asked the manager involved if he would be advertising the position on Jobserve as I have a couple of mates looking for work.

This is a bank proped up by the tax payer.

"Oh no we can have 10 Wipro guys in here within 10 working days from Chennai, the visas are fast tracked intra company and already pre-approved."


WTF??!!!

Shame you can't tell that to a some well know news sources.

Sadly, more and more greedy corporates are indulging in such malpractices to increase profits. In the US Obama has introduced tough laws against such activities where as in UK the politicians do not have the balls to tackle this problem. Every politician wants to pander to the banks etc in the hope that they get some seat on the board at a later time.

I worked on a joint project with WIPRO, we completed a large server application that was meant to jointly work with their large server application which I don't think they ever started coding by the time their budget was finished. Whole thing got tulip canned becasue of them.

I once wrote to my local (Conservative) MP about a similar deal with Cap Gemini and a government contract and got nowhere.

There was once a BBC 5Live documentary about it.

I have worked with Wipro before and have never met such an unjustifiably arrogant group in my life.

Look on the bright side - in 9 months, there will be a shed load of work for competent IT professionals to go in

Damn right!

If you want an example of the "plenty cheapness" approach to a project, have a look at the following message just posted on the Oracle Coherence forums:

I'm getting this error after I put the many data using command pattern(Coherence Incubator ).
May I teach and have the following error correspondence measure?
Moreover, may not I teach why the following error occurs and may have?

Simple RTFM would have solved that problem before it even started. Real basic stuff, TBH. But hey, these guys are cheap!

I get emails like that all the time - if they posted the question in the forum on my website, I'd answer it. Via email, I won't.
