Me looking at all the layoff posts on grapevine

Seeing lot of layoffs posts. I would recommend grapevine to change their app name to layoff-vine

Hello Folks, So recently I came across a post on grapevine where a guy from XYZ company got laid off and he posted that he just got laid off and looking for job, That's it and nothing else and this post got so much engagement like people are commenting about open roles in their company, some are referring him and some are giving suggestions and all. Now few days ago I also wrote a post that I am graduating in 2024 and how I have 1.5 years of production grade internship experience and does not have full time offer but my post hardly received any traction and all I got was 2 comment where one guy asked for my stipend and another told that I should not aim for job paying lower than 1 lakh per month, this and that. So why people are not helping new graduates but are helping the laid off people, I have seen this on all platform like linkedin twitter, what's the reason for this?

I am sure this post will get a lot of backlash but still I want to express my thoughts. I usually don’t post anything but this just cross my mind. It’s been months now and we are hearing layoffs news from big tech giants Twitter, Google, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft. LinkedIn is flooded with posts from the people who got laid off. These posts garnering thousands of comments from people ready to help. My question to the tech community, What are we doing for our people who are not from so called big tech companies.? How are we helping them? I am sure there are people who got laid off from other companies need greater support in getting a job. All the companies right now are focussing on getting people from the former group. I don’t have any problem with that but it’s the fact that they were already on the top 5-10% of the tech pyramid. They were getting paid better than anyone in the market for years. They got the best facilites and sure have a good financial backup and savings. Even the severance packages they get from their companies is way higher than the market standards. Moreover, they are talented minds and already have an edge over their competitors. My request to tech community is to stop being biased and help people from the latter group to get some living(Job). They are in more need of our help and support. PS: This is just my personal opinion and there is no negative context to it.

Hey Grapevine folks, Can we please share any info on companies that are laying off or have laid off in recent times (2-3 months)? We can use this format: <company name> (<location>) - <number of employees laid off> - <reasons for layoffs like low runway> - <first round or follow-up round of layoffs> This would be helpful for folks who are currently in the market to understand the layoff scenario.

I'd made a distressed post after getting laid off. Update to: https://grapevine.in/post/86d40198-4ba6-4f24-b830-8934dc196941 I can't help thank you guys enough for helping me get though the tough times and dealing with the shame and shock. I did end up taking taking the vacation, though I did spend sometime out out it interviewing. I'd only told my fiance about the layoff and she was understanding and supportive 🥹. To the rest of the families I just told them I'm interviewing since I got good reachouts. I'm thankful to everyone who reached out to me on my post and for the pings with opportunities. Did end up taking up an offer from one of the reachouts. Can't thank you all enough. & kisses to Michel Scott (No homo) for releasing DMs .

Is this big layoff or only HR team has been impacted? If anyone can comment.
