Can anyone tell us step by step which companies do have the authority to lay off the employees and on which factors they can do so I mean lists of anyone can highlight.
And what's the law says on this?

I see my organisation is being very cautious about the layoff process. They are forcing us to resign instead of them firing us. Also the communication is put out saying we are resigning and serving notice period instead of mentioning severance.

Are layoffs illegal?

Didn't know that we can really file a case against the firm if it silently lays off employees.

Are silent layoffs illegal?

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.

List of companies laying off employees in India

What are generally the metrics used during layoffs ?

Is it division by division or each employee is vetted for his performance and contributions ?

Do high salaried folks generally targeted even if they have good performance and history with company ?

With the overall bleak atmosphere in startup ecosystem and lack of transparency in this process from employers wanted to know how are decisions made. Most say it is performance based in news, how true is that ?

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.

Feedback letter from employee to Founders, CEO & CTO

Heartwarming message from ex-Byjus employee to founders.

For details just reply to this email. I will email an excel sheet of all of your failures 
 😂Lmao, that was🔥

Instead of giving out the severance, they’re asking for resignation. 

And what’s worst is if you don’t resign they won’t give you experience letter and full and final settlement.

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😣

Is this only a termination of working employee of that particular company or this means a new joinee yet to be onboarded will also face an "offer letter withdrawal" ?

What does layoff mean?

Lay off

I am seeing lots of startups are firing these days even previous year it was happening.

Would like to know the mindset of employees who got saved. Like to know what goes inside your head. How do you deal with this situation as it can happen with who got saved somehow, etc etc
