Class Action against Infosys for Discrimination against American Workers

 It's just ridiculous !! I am not backing Infosys without basis, just look at the facts in the case file here. Basically, the requirement of any job position is known only to the employer. An applicant cannot claim that just because she/he was rejected for the job position implies that they have bad recruiting practices.

One thing sure, bad time for Infosys !!

Summary of the facts

  1. The suit alleges Brenda Koehler, a VMware Certified Professional network engineer with a Master’s in Information Systems, was denied a Lead VMware/Windows Administrator position at Infosys. 
  2. During the interview, “Infosys’s representatives spent a considerable amount of time asking about other subjects, including DNS and Active Directory.” Following her in depth answers regarding DNS and Active Directory subjects, one of the Infosys interviewers, “sighed and stated (incorrectly) that Ms. Koehler had no Active Directory experience.” 
  3. The suit alleges "after Ms. Koehler was rejected, Infosys continued to interview candidates for the position for a period of nearly two months" and "ultimately hired an individual of South Asian descent."
