Tech workers’ body tells IT firms to stop giving bad appraisal to staff

After a 24-year-old IT employee ended her life, her peers have started a campaign asking thousands of employees on the edge not to take the extreme step.

The Telangana Information Technology Association (TITA) has a piece of advice for all the stakeholders – employees, government and IT companies.

“The IT employees are under tremendous pressure around this time as they pass through the annual appraisal time. With recession impacting revenues and automation resulting in redundancies in jobs, IT companies have begun to reduce the number of employees,” Sundeep Kumar Makthala, Founder and President of TITA, told BusinessLine.
