TCS Q4 Results: 70% Divident for Shareholders -10% salary for employees

TCS depicts a typical company where no unions are present. While TCS is projecting that it is still comfortable  in terms of profits the company has shrewdly cut down the Variable Allowance components of employees.  TCS plays two different tunes to media and its internal circulation. While announcing a 70% divident for its shareholders (The big executives of TCS management have huge stockpile of the shares) , it has said in its internal memo the times are tough hence no VA.

This is whats called as double standard. Look at the measures TCS has undertaken in last few months before announcing quarter results.

 

* Canteen food prices increased by 40-60% and many cases the quality and quantity also has reduced.

* Doubled  office transportation prices (Office Bus)   Chennai employees pay at an average of Rs 2500 per month and the buses are not AC or even Deluxe. Reduced frequency. 

* No Night shuttle for workers in Night shifts.

* Switch off AC after 9 PM but 20% employees work after 9 PM shift with not even a fan.

TATA Nano booking not upto expected levels

TATA Motors is trying hard to make sure it doesn’t disappoint its shareholders, with an almost  Rs 1,00,000 booking amount for its People’s Car TATA Nano they haven’t got as many bookings as they would have expected. Now TATA Motors is giving more options in terms of loans and also advising its financial arm to not to be too strict on loans.

Also one more factor which has prevented bulk booking of the Nano is PAN card, TATA Motors has announced that Nano will be limited to one car per PAN number. And PAN card is mandatory while taking delivery of TATA Nano. Many of the brokers who usually buy newly launched cars in bulk are also cautious about the delivery time which could make their money locked with TATA Motors for upto an year without any interest.

But many interested customers might also be waiting till the last minute for booking the Nano, so lets wait and see how many booking forms are converted to orders.
