The panic is real , imagine your friend got laidoff suddenly.... Think of your mental state even if you still have the job... That's horrible 😞😞

my friend got laid off in last June when everything was alright,since then our mental state has been okay as the company we work in has already made layoff this Thursday itself.

It’s real. Many of my friends are laid off in states. They’ve 60 days. Else their life tumbles. 

For those in India, it’s tricky. They have emis, low buffer , other expenses. It’s sad.

as i said 

layoff is real 
but it's been made a panic sort of something by the news 
it's like everyone living in fear
facing the fear at work 
and then the news all around

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Folks,

This is my first post. I wanted your input on switching my completely in-office job (mandatory 5 days in office with zero scope for WFH unless for emergencies). 

I’m looking for a remote-first company and willing to switch for 35-40% hike from my current CTC.

I’m holding another job offer currently (30%hike) - during the initial screening they offered me Hybrid but after interviews they stated it’s mandatory WFO. 

Can anyone advise how the markets are looking and what expectations I should hold on to while on the job hunt?  Any referrals in a remote-first organisation  would be much appreciated.

Location: Bangalore
Expectation: Remote or Hybrid but location needs to be in Mumbai.

Thanks folks for reading on till now!

In 2020, Google made sweeping commitments to advance diversity, equity and inclusion in the wake of nationwide protests over racial injustice, which are now being cut.

Mass layoffs...

Human resources

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

So many companies are doing layoffs. It's becoming so common that now a days people have even got used to it. Folks in or know about US/UK/Canada, how's the situation over there? Is this shit show becoming common there too?

Hearing a lot of Layoffs lately

I am 26 now. And started my career in 2018 when i was 21, and from my first day till now I am doing a wfh. Initially it felt good as you get lots of personal time, no travel time and expenses. And then in covid while people where panicking switching to wfh, I was already adapt to it very well. But lately I have now started seeing some negative  impacts of it.
1- Social life is at stake as I went to study outside my home town and almost lost all my connections here.
2- No personal interaction with people on higher position than you as that helps a lot in ones upbringing.
3- Following same life style for years and years.
4- Poor physical health and mental health being in a room for 8 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep and 2-4 hours more depending on other tasks.

Adding to it now i feel it makes more sense having a office job which makes you feel more lively and a part of society.

With big corporate giants like Google, Apple, Bain, Tesla, Amazon etc. laying off staff in the name of cost reduction, automation&innovation and restructuring while at the same time tech companies like Accenture not awarding any yearly hikes to professionals for 2 consecutive years now, where do you see the IT/Tech/Consulting industry heading towards in next couple years down the line? By when is the market expected to revive? Which companies are still committed to ensuring job security along with high pay standards or is that a thing of the past? Please enlighten me😊

Layoffs everywhere?

From the last few days there were talks going on about layoffs in Morgan Stanley. Some 7% of the global staff will be handed over the pink slip in this week. 
Well... It started happening from today ... Few colleagues from my department were laid, and the reason being "company is trying to survive in the market, company is planning the road ahead by taking such bold steps".
When this was announced, my anxiety shot up the next level and I couldn't wait for the meeting to finish.
The past few years have not been great for the business worldwide due to which many companies are forced to take such steps. These companies just have been doing a hiring spree from the last 1-2 years that now they are regretting their decisions and letting off their employees.
My question is - "If a company hires excessively during the bull market and is forced to lay off few of the employees during the downturn, has the company made an error by not evaluating the headcount or it was just simply the need of the hour" 
 
Please note - I know many people out there who have faced job cuts due to many factors, sincerely requesting people to take this matter very seriously
