Regular readers of Techgoss are well aware that a large number of our articles are crowd sourced.  People send in tips, photos, story ideas and even articles. Many of our contributors have full times jobs in IT - ITES, and so prefer using a pseudonym.  Today, we got a detailed Tip, backed up with substantial documentation, about how Teleperformance has moved quickly to sack a Manager from their Adobe Process after charges of sexual harassment were leveled against him.  Two young women, who had recently joined the Adobe Process at Teleperformance,  and were being trained as part of the Adobe Install Team made allegations of unsolicited sexual attention by this manager. To the credit of the Teleperformance management, they moved quickly to evaluate all the facts and then took stern action against the accused Manager.
