Abstract
The case highlights the concern of involuntary attrition in Indian information technology firms. With rapidly changing technology landscape, firms are resorting to restructuring exercise resulting in job loss for middle-level professionals. The case focuses the spotlight on the grey area of employment laws and forces a rethink on the applicability of labor laws to the IT/ITES sector. The case encourages discussion on the lack of collectivisation in the industry. It also introduces the concept of self-directed learning as opposed to firm directed learning as essential to remain viable in the knowledge-based labour market.
