how was black friday in india?

Both TCS and fake FTEs need to be removed. I think it is this combination that is most unproductive. Some CoEs have more fakes than others. Test CoE leading on the fakeness and what is even worst is that the very fake people even get promoted by... — read more 

CoEs are created. Remove the people who created COEs. Remove those KMGs who created this mess. But we all know ,what will be outcome..

Whats wrong with Testing CoE. They do a really good work. infact they are the best when compared to TCS testers. Remove the testers from TCS. Wonder if TCS really trains the ones they snd to Target. Quality of deliverable from TCS is always below the... — read more

Target will surely use the appraisal scores this year to fix the mess they got themselves into. They still have not learned much lesson as there is KMG recruitment happening even now. Some new SDM have joined TI !!. Looks like HR is working... — read more 

We have some very non-sensical people in this group, and for some reason get promoted with fake achievements by undermining the true achievers and even corrupt the whole group. This is also one reason as why Target is going down. Having people like... — read more 

You rumor mongers are about to have egg on your face.

Thanks for the clarity

Target needs to tighten the Vendor Management like Wall mart. TCS/Wipro shiver there to give a proposal with fake data.Their SOW is so strong they had made Wipro work for free for issues they created in 2007 . Here TCS does so much of crap work in... — read more

11/21

Someone give a KT to TCS on what quality is....

we help you guys a lot, most of quality stuff is led by tcs, sorry to say, but it is true

Fire the VP's & directors for taking all bullshit decisions & creating duplicated roles partnering with TCS bugs. Also reduce the no of TCS parasites injected to Target so far... this will bring lots and lots of expense reduction

EOM

Hey all Target India folks don't post some rumor which you are not sure of. There is no Lay off in November. Allow people to work peacefully

And, 11/20, WTF?

This is getting worse
