Shame on us... Thefts reported in sophisticated IT company in Mumbai

Capgemini Consulting India Ltd, part of the Capgemini Group which is ranked among top 5 global consulting firms, has recently been in news... for all wrong reasons...

First... They gave increments to ALL of its employees (excluding senior managers and above) ranging from 0% to 6%... IT'S REALLY A SHAME!

Second... Now the IFM (Internal Facilities Management) department within Capgemini Mumbai has become notorious for its indifference to the problems faced by employees...

The problems have been quite uncommon, yet persistent. Capgemini India has been expanding at a furious speed, however, IGNORING safety & comfort of its workforce.

None of the offices of Capgemini India are fire-safe! These offices are extremely congested and prone to fire at any moment. And God forbids, if there is a fire outbreak, the employees would DIE inside the office due to suffocation and choking. There are no proper fire exits and infrastructure is pathetic!!

Now there have been THEFTS reported in Mumbai offices of Capgemini. I am not joking... Find below the recent mail being circulated among the employees complaining to the IFM to improve security arrangements and to ensure that belongings of the employees are safe…

The current security arrangements are so pathetic that the IFM can't even trace who is stealing valuables from employee's desks!! They have installed video cameras, but only at entry & exits!!! What nonsense... How can someone trace who is carrying what inside their bags... they must have installed security cameras inside the office, at various locations, also!!

IT'S A SHAME, CAPGEMINI.

PLEASE PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES... TO TELL THEM TO TAKE CARE OF THEM BELONGINGS.

Yes Narendra I have reported already informed to IFM you can check in the mail.

My purpose of marking this mail to all is just to warn you to take extra care of your valuables.

Because our IFM can not bring it back once you have lost it.

Thanks and Regards,

Mansi,

I am really very sorry to hear this. but the mail is marked to totally wrong group.

This should be marked to IFM team instead of all C and SC's in the company.

Thanks & regards

Subject: FYI : Yet another theft

I would like to report another theft occurred yesterday when a set of bangles (gold) were stolen from my purse.

This is second time in three working days I am reporting about the theft. Please let me know what actions you have been taken.

Kindly understand simply reporting to the security will not help, as they can not verify the belongings of the individual.

I believe there is urgent requirement to install multiple camera's across departments/ floors and films are recorded on daily basis.

This will ensure security of employees of such a prestigious organization.

Colleagues: Please take extra care of your valuables.

Thanks and Regards,
