My sister asked "You could have waited until it stopped?" My Dad angrily said "Only after catching cold, you will realize."

Hexaware Situation - Recession
bench' which will comprise around 350 people who are currently non-billable. Since there are no immediate billable opportunities for them, we plan to retain them in the organization giving them time off to improve their skills and get re-trained in skills which are in higher demand. While these employees need not report to work, the Company will give them a compensation equivalent to 50% of their basic salary (total pay will be 20% of the gross salary). The virtual bench will be implemented with immediate effect and it will be reviewed at periodic intervals, so that the organization can explore opportunities to absorb them as needed back into the mainstream. These employees will continue to receive retirals (provident fund and gratuity) and hospitalization insurance and life cover from the Company and their service continuity will be protected as well.
We are also implementing a salary cut for our employees above certain levels across the organization. The salary reduction for Hexaware will range between 5 – 10 % and will be effective April 2009. The salaries of
employees at the entry level to employees up to G3 will not be impacted while the senior most employees will be subject to a higher percentage cut. In India, grades G2/S2 and G3/S3 will not be affected, G4/S4 and G5/S5 will have a 5% cut, G6/S6 to G10/S10 will get a 8% cut and G11 and above will be subject to a 10% cut. All non- India employees will get a 5% salary reduction subject to local regulations. The salary reduction for Caliber Point will range between 2 – 5 % and will also be effective April 2009. At Caliber Point, all grades below C6, D7 and O7 will not be affected. Grades C6-C7, D7-D8 and O7-O8 will get a 2% reduction, grades C8-C11, D9-D13 and O9-O13 will get a 3% reduction and grades C12, D14, O14 and above will get a 5 % reduction
As a result, the salaries of 40% of the total employees will be unaffected. The entire situation will be reviewed at regular intervals. The annual performance appraisal process will take place like in the past. We will continue focused competency development and training and re-skilling opportunities like before. Each of you will individually receive a revised compensation letter from HR shortly. Feel free to talk to your HR business partners for any further queries.

Blood Clots/Stroke - A little Information CAN SAVE
Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue
STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters....S.T.R.
My nurse friend sent this and encouraged me to post it and spread the word.
I agree.
If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks
Seriously..
Please read:
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening
Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
It only takes a minute to read this...
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(i.e. It is sunny out today.)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
I have done my part. Will you?

Positive Attitude
A blind man was begging on side of Newyork Street with a board written " I am blind please help me"
Once a guy passing that side saw him. He took his board and wrote some thing. From that time the blind man got heavy collection. Can you guess what he wrote? He wrote "To day is a beautiful day but I can't see it"
Moral: The way you can express, will change many things…
So do not delay to take decisions which turns your life….
