More than 90% of the freshers have accepted lower salary options at Wipro in order to fast-track onboarding, according to Wipro’s Chief Financial Officer Jatin Dalal. Wipro Salary Cut: Over 90% Freshers Accepted to Join Company At Lower Salary, Says CFO Jatin Dalal.
A woman’s tweet on fresher salaries being too low has sparked a heated debate on Twitter. Medha Ganti cited a pay of Rs 50,000 a month (Rs 6 LPA) as being on the lower end of the spectrum.
Wipro's move to cut salary offers to freshers awaiting onboarding by almost 50 per cent under one programme has been termed "unjust" and "unacceptable" by employees union NITES.
The move has since garnered widespread criticism with employees union NITES demanding the company reconsider its ‘unjust’ and ‘unacceptable’ decision. It has also called for the management to engage in meaningful dialogue with the union to find a mutually beneficial solution.
