Gone are the days when IT professionals were treated as kings and they ruled the roost. Today, they are on the receiving end and with the current recession, they are being disposed like garbage. Not just in the professional side but also on the personal side as the parents of girls have begun to go for a non-IT groom.
Meanwhile, the final nail on the head has been hit with the latest crisis of Satyam which is being termed as the biggest ever IT fraud in the history of India. Reports say that many of the IT employees are finding themselves at the doctors' clinics due to high BP and those who are suffering bouts of shock waves.
The fear that they might lose their job at any point and the uncertainty over the future are said to be the key reasons for these ailments and added to that is the undue pressure from the personal side and the commitments. One hopes that this stormy phase gets over soon and things get back to normal.
