In a press statement released by Airtel today (see todays Guardian Page 20) they stated categorically that "AIRTEL DOES NOT EMPLOY CASUAL STAFF AND DID NOT SACK EMPLOYEES'. Well that's good news, so what happened to the employees then??

According to Airtel the outsourced all their Call Center Services to Tech Mahindra and Spanco, "seamlessly outsourced" their Information Technology (IT) department to IBM and Network Services department to Nokia Siemens, Huawei and Ericsson as well. Just what else is left then? That is almost outsourcing the whole company isn't it?? I can't think of any other at the moment. http://www.ugometrics.com/2011/10/airtel-didnt-sack-but-outsources-almost.html

I think, thats the whole idea. So that @tyms like this, there can deny sacking any one and blame it on d subs

See this: spanco runs abuja call centre and Tech Mahindra runs lagos call centre. Now these are meant to be independent companies ryt? How come both of them agreed to the same policy of laying off its staff? Wldnt it be clear dat airtel is dictating what happens? These so called indian agencies are just puppets of airtel dat wld claim responsibily 4 airtel's screw ups!!
Gbaaaaaam!!!
