Its written by a Satyam employee:
At a time when almost 90% of my Satyam friends are cribbing about the fraud and betrayal by Ramalinga Raju, I have a slightly different opinion. It's bold of me to write this in black and white but this comes straight from my heart and experience.
Looking at India 's population I really want to thank Raju for giving some 54000 Indians jobs atleast for all these years . He was the reason for the revival of confidence and the reason for the bread and butter for many a families.
The jobs were infact 40,000...it was inflated to 54000....
One of the ways to syphon funds...
Satyam training was renowned all over India . Their STC training centre created numerous love stories and unexpected rekindling of a youthful environment where girls and boys were more indepenent than their college days . I remember most of my Satyam friends felt that they made better friends at Satyam's three to six months training than those in the four years of BTech.
Unfortunately people forget to thank God in sad times .
People thank god...people generally forget god in good times.....
I understand that what Raju did is deplorable and unpardonable. He should have treated business more formally and not dealt with it like a family affair .
Raju dealt the company like family....yes,take out funds at ur will whenever and however required.....No need to inform the stakeholders...
I have seen how people tail gate to Satyam, how they give their swipe cards to others to swipe it on their behalf , how female employees have gone home sharp at 6am irrespective of when they landed at office, how employees sit at home for months at a stretch, prepare for all kind of post graduate entrance exams and still enjoy a full month's pay, how often they went for movies at local theatres at office hours, how often employees went to office just to sign on registers in the morning and at evening, how often they faked their certificates , how often they put unlimited fake medical and house rental bills.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh another big reason for SATYAM failure.....satyam counted its liabilities(employees) as assets throughout.....
How can we blame just one man when EACH AND EVERY person was disloyal ? How can we exclude Auditors like PwC ? How can we exclude the Board of Directors who have washed their hands off so clean? How can we exclude banks who gave hefty loans without true verfication? How can we exclude the Chief Minister of AP who allowed leniency for Raju's fellow businessman? How can we exclude managers who were never able to trace which bench employee under him had been away from office for how long ?
NOBODY SHOULD BE FORGIVEN...BUT AGAIN....SAU(100) MEIN NINYANVE(99) BEIMAAN....MERA BHARAT MAHAAN !!
The most gruesome experience that I can recollect was when a Satyam tag wearing person was waiting to attend an interview and I overheard him saying that he was in a business meeting at the My Home Satyam ( Madhapur) office when he was sitting right infront of me at a totally different company. When employees themselves show such a lousy attitude and dont care a damn for the brand that they carry around their neck, how can they expect others to care?
A PERSON IS NOT A THEIF TILL CAUGHT..
