Silent layoffs happenings across organizations

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

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.

Jupiter for sure.

  1. Immense work pressure and toxic environment (wasn't like this several months ago)
  2. Less than 5% appraisals
  3. No talk about retention
  4. General lack of care for employees

But LinkedIn pe toh kuch kuch bakchodi daalte rehte hain unke company page pe. General lack of employee care toh nhi lag raha but could be an eyewash as well.

Don't you think that somebody did the layoffs at their company that's why now everybody thinks they need to do layoff too!!
It's kind of basically like #BHEDCHAAL all over again
