Wipro fires 300 staff members found to be moonlighting for competitors.
Wipro fired 300 employees who were found working for competitors while still on the company's payroll, the company's executive chairman said on Wednesday.
Moonlighting is the practice of working multiple jobs at the same time. The fact, he said, was that Wipro staff were also working directly for the company's competitors, which was a "complete violation of integrity in its deepest form."
Premji was among the first top IT executives to address the issue of moonlighting. "There is no room for anyone to work for Wipro and its competitors x, y, or z." They (competitor companies) would have the same response if they discovered it. "As a result, I stand by my statement that it is a violation of integrity if any employee moonlights in any manner, shape, or form," Premji added.
