There is so much news of layoffs in many huge companies. I am feeling concerned about my future here at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). I joined recently only, so I am at high risk of getting laid off. Can someone please tell me the policy for layoffs in HPE? Would I get a severance if I get affected by RIF? Should I keep looking for jobs, or am I just getting unnecessarily paranoid? Please guide me on how to deal with this situation.

As it goes for any company acquisition, Juniper folks should be wary of massive layoffs coming their way.

HPE to buy Juniper Networks

Looks like the legal process of the acquisition is happening at a faster pace than expected earlier. Also the state of the employees is uncertain till now. What do you think will happen to Juniper employees?? What's your take on this acquisition??

Update on HPE acquisition of Juniper networks

Declared for the states: We’ll pay employees during the full notification period (minimum 60 days).

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 .

Things to lookout for in a company.

Data engineer

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

Layoffs a big deal? Positive side of layoffs

Hope you get laid-off & get a good severance package! Will see how your job search goes.

Engineering Manager

Product Designer

Microsoft has lost all respect from me today. Guys please spread the word so that all come to know reality.

I am writing this post on behalf of my friend who is still in bad mood having mental trauma.

Yesterday my friend from Microsoft was let go from his job in India. He was being pressurised to write relieving letter saying he was quitting at his own will and that the HR apparently said if he didn't write the email in next half or 1 hour he won't be getting any severance or benefits by Microsoft India. 

Wait..who does this to an employee? He was so tensed yesterday that he is leaving for his hometown in few days, he doest want to do any job for some time, he was literally crying. 

He said the ones who didnt got laid off have lost the will to work. His friends who got fired are crying as it was least expected from Microsoft.

imo even amazon and sf handled the indian layoffs in a better way than Microsoft.

Other then that Microsoft peeps are not allowed to write anything rubbish on social media. You can yourself see 3 rounds of layoff have happened in India and you will rarelly see any post yet on LinkedIn.

Just imagine to what extent these firms are going to save their image. 😵‍💫🥺

msft used to have best people culture but now its something unimaginable😣

Microsoft India - Worst Situation Underway

There was some call around 9 AM today, some folks are laid off. Didn't know the % yet.

Meesho started layoffs !!!!

People who were affected just got emails. Orgs include Search, Cloud, Ads , Assistant,  Pixel, etc. Engg is affected

Big layoffs at Google!

Last I saw someone post that his Google Interview has started.  
  
 Guess, FAANG are showing their fangs.  
  
 Apple laid off subcontractors and not employees from what I read.

Research Engineer

I work at Paytm and rumours are that 35 percent of workforce is going to be fired by may end. I'm definitely in the bottom 35 percent of my team as I'm in a new team and still learning the product. Even my team lead is saying that he will be fired. Now I'm confused, whether to work more or just completely stop caring about work. 

I need a change. Can anyone provide leads for a backend engineer who works primarily on MERN stack and familiar with Java Springboot stack. I'm hard working and good at Leetcode style algorithmic questions

Layoff Paranoia is ruining my life

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

No one has told me about this and heard it first on Twitter. Just joined Grapevine for this from Twitter. What does this mean? Has anyone gone through this? I am very early in my career, this can completely destroy my career. Please. Help me.

Sh*tting bricks right now because of Swiggy Layoffs

I was laid off with 10months  of my first job without severance. You career wont get destroyed because of the layoff

Product Manager

I got laid off in Jan. Took 4 months to land a job finally and joined a new company in May.
This new company seems to be silently laying off people now in the name of cost cutting and likely be trying to raise next round of funding although they previously raised previous round in Aug-2022.
Although right now it's more of they need me (my role, I'm the only person of this role) more than I need them, I'm 70% confident that I might not be impacted, but the 30% chance is keeping me sleepless. What do I do? Pretty traumatized from the first layoff.

What should I do?

Business Analyst

Which company do you work in and what is the situation of secret layoff (suddenly team members slack/teams account getting deactivated) or PIP at your company?

Layoff!

Any chance of layoffs in swiggy in the technology department?

Hey,

I've been working as a Frontend Developer at a startup in Hyderabad for the past 2.3 years and I've also worked on backend projects unfortunately, over the past year management hasn't been able to secure new projects on Monday my 4 colleagues had 1 on 1 discussions with HR and were given a month to find new jobs. If they can't they will be terminated in 2nd month I'm currently on a project but with less amount of work—should I be worried? It seems like they plan to terminate 4-5 employees every month.

Layoff

Frontend Engineer

I was working with Dun and Bradstreet here in Hyderabad. Called yesterday to my workplace, and was told that I was being let go due to some restructuring. In plain terms you are fired. Once again handled really poorly, no advance notice nothing. Was not even prepared for it. Layoffs are inevitable but the least companies can do is to handle it better. They just don't understand that this only gives em negative image or maybe they don't care.

Dun and Bradstreet layoffs in Hyderabad

Just like last year, this year too...
Somehow found out about it via news. There was chatter about it over the last couple of days, but didn't think it could just happen.

It's a long weekend now and not even sure when people will be informed :/

Layoffs happening at Swiggy - 400 of us

Please pray for me to get laid off. Want to get rid of this shit. At least will get some severance this way.

I’ve heard of you have a 1:1 scheduled with your manager for today or for later in the week you will be laid off. 

I think I’m safe according to the above. But still super nervous
