Goel vs Patni

This article shows the plight of the knowledge workers in the land of opportunities.

A couple of days back a friend forwarded me this link. I could then understand its relevance. I know a few of my friends who have been with Patni and at the client site at Bloomington, IL; but didn't have an idea how bad things were out there.

US is known to be a land of opportunities, though it is observed to be losing its sheen, thanks to the recent economic slow down. But it used to score way above India a few years ago, when emerging markets were struggling to keep up. In this circumstance, it gave the IT firm opportunities to exploit those looking for a successful career.

Why was this delay in bring the story out? And what is the plight of the IT junta at onsite? Only ones who have been or are at onsite can say.
