Wipro reduced the salary of freshers by 50%: the annual package was reduced from 6.5 lakhs to 3.5 lakhs, and the employees union is protesting
IT company Wipro has cut the salary of freshers by up to 50%. Candidates who were recently offered an annual salary of Rs 6.5 Lakhs by Wipro have now reduced it to Rs 3.5 Lakhs. This deduction has been made in the salary of those freshers who passed the company's Velocity Graduate Program in 2023. These freshers are waiting for an appointment.
After earlier promising higher salaries, now the company has sent an email to the selected candidates. In this freshers have been asked to settle for lower salaries due to economic reasons.
On the other hand, the IT employees' union NITES termed the move as 'unjust' and asked the IT company to reconsider its decision.
Earlier last month, there was news that Wipro had fired 800 freshers who failed the internal test. However, the company says that it has terminated 452 employees.
Recently, there was news that Infosys fired 600 employees after failing an internal test. According to reports, in the last few months, a total of about 600 freshers have been fired after failing the FA test. However, till now no statement has come from the company regarding this.
