Any idea on their policy for ex employees

Principal Software Engineer

Software Developer

I don't have specific details on HCL's rehiring policies. Companies often have different policies, so it's best to check directly with HCL for accurate information.

It depends on requirement no connection to policy, policy can be change as per requirements

Tech Lead

If u have served the notice period and have not absconded, I suppose u r eligible for rehire.

Lay off at Kronos on holi

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I've had the fortune of having worked in 3 countries so far. India is by far the most exciting place to be in 2024.
But there's something about our work ethic that just concerns me. In both white and blue collar.

In most other countries, I've observed people strictly sticking to the 9 to 5, working diligently in those hours - not wasting too much time on chai sutta breaks, instagram browsing, gupshup etc.

They work for 8 hours, then leave. And think about work directly the next day.

In India, most of us spend more hours - but very obviously very few of those hours are productive. In fact, I lately feel that too many people around me are doing even 2-3 hours of work on a good day.

We end up just staying around, passing time, and then go back home. When we could have achieved so much more.

Work ethic has fallen. Work hours have gone up.

We need to be more mindful of our actions, we need to work well at work, and then do well at home.

I think it's a function of being over populated. There are 1.5-2 people doing what 1 person should be doing, hence this effect.

Needs to be fixed, it's the sign of a major problem in the workforce. Thoughts?

Disguised unemployment in India - It's all around us :/

We don't end up staying long hours because we need to. But because we have to, so that the manager doesn't feel like we leave the office by "half day".  
  Also, they have a leverage that they can shut their laptops at 5 and nobody will reach out to them. But here in India, managers do reach out for escalations, or make us attend lat evening calls because it's afternoon in Europe or morning in NA. The people sitting in Europe or NA are not made to wake up early or attend night calls to accommodate us during our actual 9-5.  
  People also chit chat etc. bcz they know for sure that they have to sit for long hours..so they need to take small breaks in the day. No one has the capacity to work 10-11 hrs without any breaks.  
  Here it would never be possible to have such a strict 9-5.

Will Google hire back the employees who laid off recently atleast when situation improves.

Will Google hire back the laid off employees? If yes, after how long?

Analytics Manager

Standard stupid Indian HRs. Asking to share screen and resign. If you don't resign threatening to withhold the experience letter etc. 

Yaay to our labour laws!!

I got  breakup of offer details from HCL Tech but the location that was agreed during interview is different from the one they are offering. Can anyone suggest how to ask for change of location or if it is even possible ??

I know sometimes we refrain from saying too much about our company. But exes can usually be talked about, since there's not much holding back.

Maybe it helps someone else avoid a mistake you did, or gain a new learning :p 

Shoot.

What's a secret from a previous workplace you worked at? 🤫

Not my workplace, but true story. 
  
 giant american retail company (assume it's W*) hires one giant indian IT services company (assume it's H*) for some maintenance work now this H* company has offload this work to small Indian IT services company (assume it's M*) which has a employee named R* who's one assigned to actually do the work but R* is smartass he's scouting internet for freelancer to fix the issues. He gets one junior guy P* to work for few thousand rupees and shares his credentials, vpn provider etc and our P* now messes up , in the whole scenario there's no safety lot's of mess total grey zone. 
  
 From knowing this incident, I'm like no one gives any fucks about anything, only if people weren't so bad.

What are your learning from this layoffs wave?

Learnings from layoffs

- Don’t buy useless EMI for expensive cars or gadgets. If you cannot afford it, buy one within your budget, there are all ranges available.  
 - A job is a contract thats it. They don’t care if you have lakhs in loan or dependent families. Treat it like a task which gets over after working hours. 
 - This is esp for those egoistic and sadist managers and bosses who derive their sense of worth from humiliating their reportees, making then work on sick and emergency leaves, and creating an atmosphere of bullying. 
 - No one cares about your job or career progression outside your office. Don’t make it important than your family and health and give the same treatment to all your team members.

Housing.com (REA India) ranked 3rd in the GPTW survey this year. They provide several awesome perks like, laying off without any notice, fucking their reviews just so that they could justify the lay offs, and threatening actions if anything came out on social media. 

10-15% of the whole tech team was laid off (mostly freshers) apparently on the basis of low performance.  It was all carried out by the higher management, not even the managers had any clue about the lay off happening. 

The performance rating was rigged by the higher management who had no interaction with the tech people. They had this awesome idea of getting reviewed by people who we had never interacted with. Managers were merely bystanders who had no say in the performance review whatsoever. 


PS: A note for the management -->
Housing.com would be an employee friendly company only if you guys would give two fucks about employees, instead of Caring so much about the GPTW ranking like conducting hands on sessions and literally forcing people to put in good rating.

The rigged performance rating and the secrecy is so true. I got to know about my colleague getting fired when I opened his slack which was deactivated. Upon calling, he said it was all done in 5 mins, Forceful resignation, No Severance and was asked to post nothing on social media.  
  
 From my team alone 2 people have been laid off both freshers.

Software Engineer

Hi folks.
Can anyone help me in getting a referral at HCL Tech for a Data role that is for freshers.
Thanks

Ghosting by HR is becoming increasingly common. This is not only for junior or middle level roles but also senior level. Talk to a prospective candidate and go to sleep. One more round and then go missing again. Repeat the process till the person starts to question the culture. And ya, when you wake up, expect the candidate to leave everything and respond..else, you will go ahead and open the position. 

Anyone else facing this in startups?

A former Amazon employee claims the company tried to re-hire him four times since he was arbitrarily laid off, but he refuses to join the organisation again.

Amazon tried to re-hire a techie 4 times

Project Coordinator

After talking to multiple friends. Here is the ranking//

1. Accenture:
Probably the best of WITCHA squad, WLB is okay and clients are probably better than what you would get in other companies. Your mileage may vary but pay and career progression is better than the rest. 

2. Cognizant:
Not half as bad. Decent clients and sub-par pay but why are they even sponsoring an F1 team? Very vanilla and don't feel strongly about it.

3. Capgemini:
Now this is where it begins. The company is okay. The pay is sub-par and WLB is shit. But they are a professional bunch and won't gang up on you like the ones below in this list.

4. TCS:
Now this is the OG of the gang,. The WLB is shit and the pay is much worse but for key advance tech you can get paid decently well. HR has a tendency to pay Rs.10 more than your current CTC if it is a run of the mill role but what can i say "it is just the bare minimum in this industry now."

5. Infosys:
Sorry but the Murthy Family white-washing their image with all this paid PR while underpaying their employees is the absolute hypocrisy. Shit policies and Shit pay. Have worked here before and working here made a small part of me die every single day here.

6. Wipro:
Either their pitching team is shit or what but they can only win the absolute worst projects. It is still okay if you work at AI Labs or other small teams with better resources and leverage. The hikes here are non-existent and as per my friends you would be non bench for quite long because their staffing team is yuck.


7. HCL: 
The worst for the last. This is the real cesspool of them all. Somehow they get the worst of the worst projects, where support work is the max with no documentation on any of these projects. They once offered a friend of mine lower pay than current salary and effectively said that you are overpaid and this is market standards. I would rather work for no pay at a startup than HCL.

Ranking WITCHA companies from Okay to Worst//

Product Marketing Manager

The worst company to exist from a culture POV. 

- Idiots for managers. People who have been there for years but don’t understand how to manage anything apart from their own egos

- The CEO is quiet most of the times, despite all the claims of wrongdoing happening within his firm

- Terrible paymasters. Denying people their variable pay & bonuses despite their employment agreements clearly stating so. The HR is as useless as the “ueue” at the end of the word queue. 

- No regard for safety & security of their employees when they travel for work. An employee I know is traveling to Delhi for the fashion week and they couldn’t even book her a hotel. She has to figure everything out on her own. In Delhi. 

- Their office smells like shit and can’t even handle all their employees coming into work. They don’t have enough chairs to seat everyone but HR wants to call everyone back to office 5 days a week. 

It’s no surprise that HUL treats them like a stepchild. Nobody wants them, and they’re just about surviving on their own. 

Think twice before working with them in any capacity. Take your money in advance. 

Never work for them.

Google hiring back laid-off employees?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi,

I am a 1.5 YOE backend Dev at an mnc. I have been laid off due to a pf overlap of 1 month. As my previous employer didn't process my resignation and put my doe of jan 23 one month after i joined my current company. I had already informed my current company at the time of joining that my previous company is processing the resignation and taking time and have not filled doe yet. They agreed to it and said they have no problem. 

Now, after 1.5 years of working in the company i suddenly got called one week ago in an hr meeting to explain about this situation. i gave them the relevant documents and our mail conversation where they said they have no problem. Yesterday i got laid off on the basis that there was a one month of overlap in my pf. 

PS: I never worked for my previous employer it was an on campus placement from clg and resigned within a month. Acc to emp in current company they are laying ppl off and hence finding reasons to do so. 


I would like to have some advice from experienced folks here. Does this put somewhat of a dent in my career, hindering my future chances. Idc about getting laid off i care more about my future. Seeing the current job market is depressing and makes me anxious. I also have an option to do Ms from us but i first want to try myself out (if that makes sense) 

Thanks
