So brace yourself, official firing is going to happen at Glance now...
Silent firing anyways has been happening for a month or so.

Layoffs at Glance

Layoffs at Glance- Grapevine

I got to know a senior leadership member at a popular startup suggested to deliberately do poor appraisal for an employee so that she resigns herself.

Bad times ahead with companies forcing employees to join back offices and planning silent layoffs.

PS: By "forcing" I mean not leaving employees with much of an option other than to quit.

Silent layoffs upcoming 😔

Any chance of layoffs in swiggy in the technology department?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

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.

Mass Lay-offs at housing.com (REA India)

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.

HR is having 15-20 meets everyday, anyone can confirm with their calendar. 

Multiple HRs multiple laid off people. Zero severance. They are pressuring people to resign and saying you have to resign today itself! 

Market is going to get flooded with Paytm folks. 

Worst regret is that management and CEO made bad decisions and flunked compliance / risk. But after crackdown by RBI they are making employees suffer. 

It is heard that this will continue to go on till months. 

There should be a course on how to behave and work like a CEO.

Paytm is laying off people since May 27 (forced resignation)

The company is notoriously famous for doing silent layoffs in the name of semi-annual performance reviews. Given that by next month their peak season will get over, they have started with the homework of preparing lists for people to do layoffs.

Urban Company has started to do silent layoffs again.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have been hearing from multiple friends across organizations in India. Lay offs are not in news but happening silently across boards. Companies are on cost cutting mode. Interesting year ahead

Silent layoffs happenings across organizations

Thank you for sharing this. 
  
 Was not knowing about silent layoffs happening. 
  
 But one interesting thing I have observed is that many organizations are now deliberately making the work environment more pressurised and/or toxic to reduce the headcount so that they don't need to layoff people.

Software Test - QA

1. Most lowest, low to Mid ratings (identified by your manager)

2. High TC — if you are in the same level for a long time (> 3 years) and your TC is reaching the top of that band.

3. High initial stock grant (possible by great offer negotiation skills) and you are approximately in the  2nd or 3rd year (when you got the most pay)

4. those who get retention offer in the past and your TC is L + 1 but not performing at L+1. Time to cut the cost.

5. Coasters: if your manager carefully Evalates your criticality and concluded you are easily replaceable

6. People who consistently complaining their teams are too busy too much pressure too bad WLB are in danger too.

How to minimize your chance of being laid off

1. Tell your manager you don’t need any tc increase，or tc is not your career goal

2 tell your manager you are willing to work hard and have no complaints. If you took 2 ppl work, no one will choose to let you go!

How to identify your Layoff probability

asked and got 37% increment. 0% chance of layoff. work only 6hrs a day. 
  
 have some self respect. I'd rather be laid off than do these shitty points. gross.

LinkedIn Layoffs India

(1) Reduce cost of human capital -> (2) Post better EBITDA numbers in earnings calls -> (3) Get big bonuses and sell your equity if its value is rising -> (4) Hire a lot of people again so that you can repeat this cycle again to profit

Welcome to Fintech India's Private Community

1. some people are pressured into resigning under the guise of poor performance, despite years of dedication.
2. sudden demand for employees to work from the office on specific days, hinting at wanting people to quit on their own.
3. layoff happening as reported by media (and internal group on grapevine), still unclear on how deep the cut will be can be from 20% or above; numbers are speculative, lets wait and watch, many have started getting the calls from HR; shabbily handled.
4. let's not talk about increments 🤡

🤞🏻 lets see what happens today and in the next few weeks; hope things become better

Strategy & Operations

Hearing of silent layoffs at Make my Trip, Flipkart and so many other companies. What are some of the ways in which these tech cos are silently firing people so they can avoid a bad headline?

Silent layoffs

Rumor mill is fired up since a week and all meetings with senior leadership this week have been removed from calendars without any notice! Also noticed that several leaders are WFH today. Guessing that is to avoid nervous conversations and to engage in private meetings over phone calls to decide which heads they are going to chop off. 
The 🔔are going off! Prepare yourselves!

Isn't it hilarious that there was so much outrage over the better.com CEO firing employees over a Zoom call in late 2021, fast forward a year we have these so called GIANTS laying off employees via an email.

Disgraceful stuff.
