Corporate life Layoffs

Expedia is set to layoff 1500 employees. Everybody is just laying off people giving any bullshit reason https://officepulse.live/expedia-trims-workforce-in-restructuring-push https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/technology/expedia-to-cut-about-1500-jobs-globally-amid-moderating-travel-demand/articleshow/108026228.cms

I am seeing a lot of layoff related posts everywhere from news articles to LinkedIn.. Is the Job market really that bad now? Or just the media is projecting that way? If it's really bad, which department you think is the most affected? How's layoffs specifically in India? Or is it layoffs in US but more hiring in India due to cost cutting? Are layoffs in technology/engineering dept as in for developers or some other departments? Your thoughts please..

With the trending culture of layoff I think Indoa needs some regulations around the same. Founders/Companies are harrassing employees & fooling around with employees future. There has ro be a stop. Hike dege hire kiya and 6 month baad fire. People get at survival risk. Families are at stake. Founders ka kuch nahi gaya.

Got a job but now got another offer at 80% hike. What’s the best excuse to leave the job?

so with recent layoff season what are some things you would recommend anyone to look for in a company to stay safe ? feel free to add any hypothesis as well if you got any .

You can mention your top 3-5 priorities that you plan to do after joining the new job to be not in the same position of getting laid off

I don't know why everyone is making a big deal out of layoffs. Even the ones who laid off are not that concerned than the ones who comment. Laid off employees literally get free money upwards of 10 lakhs in many cases of senior developers who are laid off from top tech startups. Companies pay severance equal to 3-6 months salary of laid off employees. Some even offer other benefits as well. I personally know a couple of Devs who got around ~9-10L in severance pay. So, yeah if there are layoffs happening in funded tech startups or leading tech companies, considering their pay range, laid off employees get handsome severance pay including employee benefits

It’s disheartening to see 1000s of people being laid off in recent times. Most of them have a family to feed and EMIs / bills to pay. Today it’s them and tomorrow it could be Me and You as well. And it’s pretty much clear that these new age companies are not empathetic and would go to any extent to meet their goals. Why isn’t any employee doing anything about these atrocities? Following are the few ways to send out a strong message to these employers for abusing / blackmailing / and forcing resignations and PIPs (share more in comments) 1. Boycott their products / Services - make a noise about it on social media. 2. Stop subscribing to their IPOs or start dumping their stocks. 3. Uninstall their apps.
