He said the tech giant fired one of its top 20 leaders within 10 minutes of finding out that they committed a "huge integrity violation".
Barely a month after his company fired 300 employees for moonlighting, Wipro Chairman Rishad Premji revealed at an event that even senior employees aren't exempt from "integrity violation". He said the tech giant fired one of its top 20 leaders within 10 minutes of finding out that they committed a "huge integrity violation".
"We made that decision in 10 minutes. It was an important role that this person ran for the organisation but when the times are tough, and you have to make those tough calls," he said, according to a report in Moneycontrol.
Mr Premji was speaking at the Nasscom Product Conclave in Bengaluru on October 19.
He did not elaborate on whether this violation was also related to moonlighting. However, he had said the mass firing was over "acts of integrity violation".
