Disadvantages In Job-hopping

Hi Karthik Ji,
You are right. What you stated below:
'Right now, the need for work and the necessity to meet deadlines is so high that companies do take in people for the time being and do not tend to care about so-called future consequences ('lets cross the bridge when we come to it' syndrome). For all that you know, the HR personnel taking in the frequent job hopper would not necessarily care because he would himself be in a different job when the candidate he hired has hopped. "
makes things more difficult. If everyone starts thinking "let us cross the bridge when it comes", isn'y dangerous for an organisation?
Thanks
Bala

IT industry has a different business model and that is why job-hopping happens. People are body shopped or made billable for a project. Once the project is over, then they are put in bench-pool and if they can't be provided with a project(Mostly because the company cant get a suitable project than employee incompetency ), immediately are asked to resign or are being terminated. Sometimes employees are asked to work in a role that doesn't suit their profile at all, just for the sake of billability. So please don't lament that employees are job hopping a lot and assess that as a case of lack of loyalty; what these IT/ITES organizations are doing, are they in an ethical position to blame?

Middlemen making money out of employees by BODYSHOPPING business are the worst that they treat their employees as commodities in the market, often denying benefits! IT/ITES organizations just want to get an employee billed by any client, they aren't considerate for employees with exceptional skill or quality of the project. LACK OF LABOR RIGHTS, LACK OF UNIONS for collective bargaining or voice against injustice is another aspect of indian IT sector. To make things worse, Politics and partiality by managers and unethical and inhuman organizational practices do exists too in service companies & body shopping consultancies.

Having said that there are exceptional players in the market too- like captive centers & product development companies who value employees and respect their skills. In such companies attrition rates are so less.

To conclude, please analyse the fingers that are pointing to companies and HR, before IT sector's job hopping phenomena.

Employees are voiceless in most of the cases in 'billing' oriented companies and there is enough justification for their ob switching.
