I heard they happened in Cisco this week as well (not silent, actual layoffs)
And now this from Meta 

Are we in the middle of something again?

My two cents is when have we not been in the middle of something since the mid 2022 its been 2 years now and things still look the same as they did 2 years ago.

Corporate Strategist

OP, you are in which city? Afaik, meta doesn't operate in India, right? Atleast not in tech

Software Developer

It does in Tech in India? When did they start?

Consultant

Tf, their stock is doing good. I guess these guys want budget for “AI/ML” folks or just more GPU 🤷

Software Engineer

People are getting hired at first place ? Damnn never got a chance to appear for interviews at FAANG

They're hiring aggressively as well across different locations 😅

Machine Learning Engineer

Most of their own llms are the reason for large scale layoffs. Most of it will be pure adoption and cost savings using this new set of marketing, productivity, agentic apps

Is this data for India or worldwide? How many people are affected in India?

Frontend Engineer

Scrum master

technology is seeing large layoffs and resignation with each month

Tech unfortunately is moving closer to other high paying professions like finance/consulting/big law firms with insane work pressure and long hours. 
 It was nice while it lasted 
 On a side note - a bunch of colleagues currently have Meta interviews lined up lol

Is there any meta development office in India?

The ZUCC has to fund his $27,000,000 private security force somehow

15% are being given Below Expectations rating and are being offered mutual seperation with 3 Months salary.

Guys, heard anything about meta layoffs in India? A WSJ report today said that Meta will start its layoff drive globally this week 😐

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

Here is what is happening at Paytm

Reports that there could be a 3rd round of layoffs at meta. Also there have been rumors that Amazon could layoff more people. 

This month could come with more bad news

For a marketing role where i had an assisnmrnt with a lot of deliverables to complete in 2 days. On asking for feedback the recruiter told me “the person who screened assignments didn’t like your work much”. I feel absolutely garbage and am looking to feel better. Can someone tell me I just escaped a bad company or something.

Another year around and last year was dry with literally 0 percent hike. My salary not been increased for past two years and this year my hopes are going down. The PMS cycle was supposed to be on May 1st. We were supposed to get manager ratings. When I checked  it wasnt even case and they dont even communicate of such a delay. They just keep it closed doors and this is what I see as transparency. Already I have many exits voluntarily. When I was demanded for work day and night. they said company will reward people meritocritic and now when I turn them back and ask they arent even interested with sharing date on when the appraisal would come. What should I do I feel being cheated after 2 years of working day and night? Any news or this is going to be one another year of their sick promises and betrayals?

Am I being fooled @Yubi?

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 😔

How much % are you expecting this time? 

Last time I got scammed by bs reasons and got single digit. What should I do if get to hear these again? 

Also let me tell you this, along with BS reasons they tend to give ESOPs 🤦🏾

🚀Appraisal season is gonna start!

It's like going back to COVID days. We got email that due to current situation there will not be any increment this year. What about your company? How is the situation?

Growth Manager

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.

I joined this mid level product cum service based company 3.5 years back and got around 5 increments with average of 40% hike each time.

This year they have increased by just 5% and also they promised they won't layoff any current employees which is a good sign.

Is this expected seeing the current scenario around IT world?

Got a salary hike of 5%. Is this expected in the current layoffs going on?

Happened last week. 

Navi does this half-yearly if not quarterly. Supposed to be performance based but systems and checks are not in place to assure the process is unbiased. 

Myntra - not an organisation which does layoffs much. 

Please shed some light.

Navi & Myntra - layoff or mass resignation???

I have a job offer from curefit marketing team, any thoughts on company/team culture

Looks like meta is going for 3rd or 4th ( honestly lost count)  round of layoffs . 
Articles suggest that 5000 folks might be affected 😕

These are the world's largest tech companies and have billions in profits. How can they not know how many employees they need? And once the market opens next year again they will hire rapidly. 

Is apple the only top tech company that's hiring sensibly?

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.
