MPL’s game behind layoff

following events occurred before and after layoff: (Layoff was planned long before just that GST gave a good excuse) 1. Two months back on call to employees they announced no need to worry we have good run way and we are doing good. They said all are safe. 2. A month back call happened again for GST calls 3. GST arrived 4. A call got scheduled informing mass layoff 5. Layoff happened, two types of people got affected, firstly who were not needed got laid off because they were being paid more than for what they contribute. Secondly, politics happened and people who are paid reasonably and even people who are getting less salaries and are hard working also got laid off 6. After a. successful execution of Layoff, since no body pin pointed about why such big cut just after the announcement, again a call got scheduled. 7. Hikes were announced for all and again the same promises what they did before layoff to all. 8. Party happened and good sleep because they achieved a great milestone. 9. next we will get to know after the long weekend. I am personally in pain seeing such good folks parting ways. Its called backstabbing. I know few folks very personally and they are cream but bad at politics and sycophancy. I hope god put them all in better place. Severance pay and laptop is not as helpful as a job at this point of time. The market is not good, MPL should have supported folks who were loyal to them.

It's always the cream who aren't good at politics, get laid off! The good part is it's a temporary thing and those folks will do much better elsewhere. Just a matter of time mate !

You shouldn't trust MPL founders they are good at politics. But it is predictable , they have done the same thing in the past and previous companies they built. With employees , vendors and many more. Clear lesson : Loyalty stays till the company needs you post that no loyalty from the company side. MPL is also a case of financial fraud which is being hidden in the face of good work but now the govt decisions coming in would be a great blow to their business. The only chance they have is mayhem or other subsidiaries where revenue is not being minted so far.

They lay off really good people and then expect us to not change jobs and be loyal.

Founders words should be taken with grain of salt always also MPL is making loss so they need an excuse to layoff

My friend was supposed to join MPL but his offer got rescinded. I also heard they’ll start laying off soon. Can anyone shed some light on this? Because I was planning on taking a role there as soon as my friend joined in. Heard they have awesome work life balance + free food + frequent parties etc etc.

Massive layoffs coming up at MPL

From what I hear from a friend who is aware of the leadership discussions, MPL might be looking to lay off close to 50% of its workforce and shut down most of its other BU’s to consolidate by October. This would include folks even till the SVP levels. This might be one of the first pins to fall with the 28% GST rule kicking in by October. Dark days ahead for online RMG industry in India

Layoff severely breaks confidence

I've been laidoff, searching for a job. Had stepped out for a walk and I saw my school teacher crossing the road from the other side. I, being a person who always talks to people, turned my face and sneaked away, not having the confidence to tell someone that I'm unemployed if asked. Feels bad. 🥲
