The trauma that Satyam staff face

March 19, 2009

It was a shocker,' says an associate of Satyam Computer Services, recalling what he went through on January 7.

'We came to the office as usual and all of a sudden people started calling about the television channels which were running this expose and started asking things over the phone. We were totally dumbfounded... They (people, relatives) thought the organisation was going to crumble to pieces. 'Are you still there? Do you still have a job?' -- we had to face these questions almost continuously.'

This quote, printed in one of the newsletters Satyam has published in the past 45 days, gives us a peek into the mind of Satyam employees, an aspect largely ignored as everyone has focused on the sensational fallout of Ramalinga Raju's confessions.
