Layoffs are a common theme these days among all kinds of companies. In general, Layoffs are bad for the people affected.

I want to hear stories from people who had a layoff that was done with dignity, respect and humanity.
Please describe what made your experience of the layoff great and which company were you part of.

How a company handles Layoffs reflects a lot on the culture of that company.

So let us highlight companies that do Layoffs well.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hi guys, have you also been silently let go/laid off by your company?  This story needs to be heard by the people. I am a journalist and working on one such story, it would be great to have more details. 

You can reach out to me on anonymousrep98@gmail.com

Companies want to brush everything under the carpet, they think nobody will know about these silent layoffs by letting go of people in small batches. We are one of India's largest financial news organisation and would like the world to know about such practices.

If you know someone who has met with the fate, reach out to us.
Not putting in my real ID to save it for another day.

Silent layoff? Why the IT companies don't want the world to know

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I recently got laid off from my Company (they are unfortunately shutting down all major operations apart from sales) 
I worked to improve the company culture - benefits, engagement, learning and dev, wellness, cross team and inter city collaboration. 
Now that im job hunting, Im finding it incredibly difficult to find roles where the title of "people and culture" justifies the job description that is followed. Most often, the JD is an operations role where you only work on managing employee data, help with recruitment etc. 

So that brings me to the question - which are some of the startups that are truly looking to have a good culture and are open to hiring fresh talent?

Which Startups care about their company culture?

What are your views on mass layoffs?

Given the current funding winter and companies are now chasing profitability metrics, how is CRED’s future looking given they are more focused on experience and experience and there doesn’t seem to be a big monetisation play and more gimmick.

Need some insights to make a decision for job offer

How is CRED doing ?

Hi Everyone, 

Please do reach out to me in case anyone can help me with a referral, currently looking for a profile like Program, product and customer success but not restricted to it

Have a total 13 months of experience in Program management in a fast paced SaaS based startup

Looking for referrals , laid off since July

3 of my friends/acquaintances across levels have been laid off.

Zepto has started layoffs.

Being an investor in equity markets, i was aware of the fact that US market will crash as the free money by fed draws back. I obviously was not able to link this up with the funding dry-ness.

I still expect a founder to be aware of these economic events. I am curious how could the management decide to go for hiring employees only to lay them off a year later. 

If you are a founder, would be happy to know the other side of the story.

What triggered layoffs ?

Let me explain in detail. 
 There are two parts to it and can be broken down basis PnL 
 1. Revenues : Sudden jump in tech( social media, e-commerce, ad tech, fintech, etc) plus supporting industries (chipmakers, laptop / device manufacturer) and the general economy with QE money  
 This impacted forecasts as most firms forecast AOPs basis historically trend (which clearly was an abberation) - this lead to higher HC estimates and rampant and quick hiring  
 Variable costs: CAC, customer support, sales incentive all spiked up as 1. Everyone was putting money (inc bidding price for key words) and 2. Huge customer inflow due to covid (edtech, e-commerce) that required support  
 Fixed costs: While office space / rents remained steady or dropped as % of revenue. This was offseted by fixed tech (software, hardware, people) costs and other costs like (legal, HR, Business, Marketing, supply chain, etc.) the talent was expensive to source plus their need was instant as you already had customer to be served  
 All of this lead to rampant hiring, inflated CTC, rosy forecasts, etc.  
 everyone had turned a blind eye to inflation implications (as for the past 30 Y no one saw a shooting inflation - hence the key decisions makers had now experience & idea about it) - till Dec’21 even FED said inflation is transatory. 
 It was the Ukraine invasion that opened people eyes. Oil went up, food prices went up, UK Europe saw an energy crisis etc 
 This made all the rosy forecast mentioned above duller as 1. Demand was expected to reduce due to higher cost of living 2. Capital became scarce as funding drired 3. Cost of capital (WACC) became expensive as hurdle rate climbed (which is rate of return for bond)  
 Management and investor panicked as they have limited partners (LP) to answer and quess who are these (big pension funds) so people’s pension money had come into startups which were not showing signs of exit for investors. 
 All in all - it is a pain we all have to bare for being exuberant in 2021-2022:

Does such grapevine flow to employees from top management?

What are some early signs of a layoff happening at the company?

Although you become the face of layoffs and you have to abide by what's instructed, how do you personally feel after a event like mass layoff?

What steps do you take to avoid or minimise the impact in such cases?

HRs how do you feel after layoffs?

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..

Job Market right now in India?

It is really bad right now 
 1. Layoffs in many of the companies, irrespective of whether they're a startup or a big MnC. 
 2. Almost everyone I know of wants to switch, because of no/less appraisals from last 2 years 
 3. Bad work life balance - people thinks switching might help 
 4. Too much competition for any open position. Because of too much supply, companies are low-balling and people would accept the offer.  
  
 Recruiters ghosting is too common. Even if you've killed in your interviews and recruiters get someone who's ready to join on less pay, they'll simply ghost you.
