So, WiPro is doing fine with its employees at home
“…to be able to mosey over to a colleague’s desk and ask him a question”. Maybe not.
I was working at a Top 10 Indian IT company at the time. Two coworkers sat across a cubicle partition. Guy 1 could’ve stood up and seen for himself whether Guy 2 was on his seat or not. But, no, he doesn’t do that. Instead, he sends a message to Guy 2 on the company’s internal IM system asking “Are you there?” Guy 2 replies, “Yes”. Guy 1 then asks Guy 2, “Shall we go for lunch?”. Guy 2 replies, “Yes”. Then they both get up from their respective seats opposite each other, and walk towards the cafeteria. This was 15 years ago. These two guys were definitely not Millennials. Today, with Millennials in the workforce and smartphones and WhatsApp or InstaGram, “Mosey over” is not a thing in Indian IT companies.
