how can i say this, u ask? well, i am an infoscion and i know what goes on inside.
They will cut on quarterly parties or just on the party budgets, ask us to work 15 min extra everyday .. and give a teeny bit less incentive money, but they will try their best (and when i say best, i actually mean the bestest!) to not kick you out of home :)&lt;img src="http://blogs.livemint.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2697" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Google heart Infosys.

This is the response I got from google when I emailed them about the algo:

Thank you for your note. Google uses spell checking software to check queries against the most common spelling of each word. When we calculate a much greater number of relevant search results with an alternative spelling, you&amp;#39;ll see &amp;quot;did you mean: (more common spelling)&amp;quot; at the top of your search results page.

For example, a search for [ Google bot ] returns approximately 1,620,000 search results. At the top of the search results page, you&amp;#39;ll see &amp;quot;did you mean: Googlebot.&amp;quot; Clicking on &amp;quot;Googlebot,&amp;quot; the correct spelling of our web crawler, yields a search with nearly a million more results.

Please note that our spell check feature is completely automated, and we cannot make manual changes to individual suggestions.

The Google Team

That was pretty interesting. Thank you for bringing it to our attention; next time we want to know what Infosys is NOT doing, we know where to look at :-)
Reminded me of this joke -
 A company, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hires a new CEO. This new boss is determined to rid the company of all slackers.
 On a tour of the facilities, the CEO notices a guy leaning on a wall. The room is full of workers and he wants to let them know he means business!
 The CEO walks up to the guy and asks, &amp;quot;And how much money do you make a week?&amp;quot; Undaunted, the young fellow looks at him and replies, &amp;quot;I make $300.00 a week. Why?&amp;quot;
 The CEO then hands the guy $300 in cash and screams, &amp;quot;Here&amp;#39;s a week&amp;#39;s pay, now GET OUT and don&amp;#39;t come back!&amp;quot;
 Feeling pretty good about his first firing, the CEO looks around the room and asks &amp;quot;Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-off did here?&amp;quot;
 With a sheepish grin, one of the other workers mutters, &amp;quot;Pizza delivery guy from Domino&amp;#39;s.&amp;quot;

Cheers,
Salil&lt;img src="http://blogs.livemint.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2632" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Google heart Infosys.

It’s easy to fire employees when times are bad, doesn’t take any guts to do that. You need real leadership to say we will not fire. Infy does not fire employees, but through it’s policies ensures cost come down.

That way there is no job loss, and families survive; though employees may no longer get goodies like free transportation / food / facilities or for that matter great salary increases or skyrocketing bonuses for top executives. Employees – hence families and society at large can live with these rather than facing a job loss leading to a huge disturbance at individual -&amp;gt; family -&amp;gt; society level.&lt;img src="http://blogs.livemint.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2624" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Google heart Infosys.
