BENGALURU: Employees have a mixed reaction about resignation of Infosys CEO Vishal Sikka. While a section of the employees that Express spoke to said they were concerned about the new policies that might be brought about in the wake of the developments, others felt it would not have a direct bearing on them.
Although everyone knew about the resignation by Friday morning, there was no widespread discussion about the same, employees said. The innovation and style of working that Sikka brought about was a hit among a large section of the employees, who believed that a CEO in sync with the latest trends in technology would be able to steer the company in the right direction.
For these employees, Sikka’s resignation came as a blow. One mid-level engineer working in the Bengaluru campus said they were not worried about job security but about new policies. “We do not know what kind of person will be brought in to replace Sikka. New policies will have impact on employees. This is what we are concerned about.”
Others felt it would not affect them directly. “There will be no direct impact on us due to his resignation. Many of the employees do have a grouse against Sikka as promotion and payhike was suspended during his tenure, inconveniencing many,” another employee said on condition of anonymity.
