Please don’t ignore… especially Indian software engineers

Most important thing is that, please keep your company ID card inside the pocket / Purse and do not show it outside people once you come out from the company premises. Otherwise it is the primary identification that you are IT Tech guy and they may follow you.Many IT guys are going outside with their Company ID and that leads the identification of Software Engineer to the external world.

Friends,This is to draw your attention to the increasing crime rate in Bombay, Bangalore, Chennai, and Hyderabad. In the recent past the crime rate has grown like mad and the targets are none other than we guys THE SOFTWARE PROFESSIONALS and CALLCENTER.

We had some past experiences with our employees not personally but have heard people lost valuable things and also heard some lost their lives or become handicapped. These people were attacked when they were coming back from work or when they were travelling late at night; People with knifes, swords, guns attack in groups of 3 – 4 or may be even more .Another trick that they use is to tie GI metal strings in the middle of the roads and when some one crashes because of it they loot them .Lets us not fall into this trap .Please take precaution and make sure no one loses anything coz we work in the nights and for a better tomorrow – let us make sure that we see that tomorrow.
