'We won't hire anybody from Satyam' - Infosys

'We won't hire anybody from Satyam' - Infosys

New Delhi: Already stranded by the sudden revelation of India's biggest corporate scandal, the employees of Satyam will face more trouble as Infosys has made it clear that they will not hire anybody from Satyam. "We will not touch such a tainted company," said Infosys Founder and non-executive Chairman N R Narayana Murthy,while commenting on speculations over the firm's plan to takeover Satyam.

The company has also instructed their recruiting staff to avoid employing any Satyam employees. Infosys has even advised staff against entertaining calls from Satyam employees. The decision comes as a major roadblock to all employees who have begun hunting for other jobs. 10,900 Satyam employees have posted their resumes on the top job portals since one month. Amidst such turbulence, Infosys also said that the company will not hire any domain experts or project managers from the fraudulent firm, reports Economic Times.

Although Satyam's top management put up a brave face on Thursday, saying it has assured employees of their future, the flood of messages at job portals and frenzied blog postings tell a different story. Addressing a conference on Thursday, Satyam's interim CEO Ram Mynampati said that the company had taken care of employees' December salaries but faced a cash crunch.
