do you think firing employees in IT is fair ?

[shweta.shastry]

i dont think the companies are left with any other options sometimes, as everyone gets into business to make a profit.

[gaurav_41283]

it in not unfair but it should be avoided and employees should be given lay off instead

[madronny]

d comapnies may b removing employees coz they hav n other option left... it is better than keeping d employees wit no salary

[neha20092009]

I'm wondering what is wrong with lay-offs. Does it have to be to the extreme of firing the employee's?
As business people we are nothing without our business, so wouldn't that be a better business decision?

Hi all,

Firing an employee/employees is no good for the employee as well as for the organisation. It brings bad name for the company, but what if, if the employee who has been shown a pink slip was not worth working with the company. We all must admit that in every organsation we will find people who do not want to work yet earn laurels for them. So, firing these employees who are termed as non-performers would not be unjustified, because by doing this we are showing that people who have not been fired are (1). performers, (2) needed by the organisation.

yes........if you consider the fact that IT companies hire in huge no. in anticipation of projects that they might get in future........so if project does not come.........employee is fired........that makes complete business sence

The IT sector has to strive and believe in their employees, laying off employees who are assets of the organization is not the solution but careful reorganization of the IT sector has to be done to help it to grow.
