What is ur source? Do u know someone with whom this happened ?

Product Marketing Manager

Oh, hope he/she is ok. Is the PIP real there like chance of surviving or silent layoff?

Software Engineer

Swiggy was such a great org to work in few years back

Product Manager

What were the reasons stated? Any severance given or resignation asked?

PIP is demoralising, so employees resign themselves. These are long term employees who built Swiggy

Will it happen in April ? For non-dineout teams as well.Last time they did 5%

Founder

Heard that more than usual PIPs are happening. Trying to push people out?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Indian unicorn companies these days are doing forced PIPs to remove folks who are a high salary as per last year or have conflicts and all. Employee benefits being reduced left right and center. Environment has become toxic. This is being done for IPO. Watch out guys.

PhonePe and Swiggy made up forced PIPs

Software Architect

I've been sensing some uncertainty at my workplace, and it's making me think about preparing for the possibility of layoffs. 

1. How does one manage uncertainty before a layoff, and what should be the mindset?

2. What practical steps do you take financially ? Any insights on budgeting? 

3. In a job transition, how do you proactively develop skills while managing work 

I would like to hear your thoughts and advice on how to be well-prepared mentally, financially, and skill-wise for possiblity of layoffs

How to prepare for a layoff ?

Software Developer

PIP on the raise at Swiggy, saw couple of post with good fellas leaving. can someone confirm or deny this fact that PIP is used a weapon to downsize the teams in order to show profit for upcoming IPO next year?

swiggy continues to silently layoff

Lawyer

Anyone know if others are also facing the same?

Swiggy forcing pip and silently laying off with absurd reasons

Since there's many Swiggy employees here. I love Insanely Good. I've stopped ordering from BB / Instamart, Blinkit and my local shops. 

1/ User Interface - just amazing

2/ Quality of Ingredients - the best amongst online retailers

3/ The no door bell delivery - a basic need now. BB guys don't go away till they count every last tomato at 7am. 

What I want to know / suggestions from my side

1/ Are you scaling up in Mumbai/ Delhi? Would love to hook my parents on to it. 

2/ Is the business generally doing good? I've referred it to 3 people so far and they've all started using it. Hopefully this isn't just me in an odd power iser cohort 

3/ Can it get bundled in the Swiggy Credit Card? I shop for all my groceries here, nothing better than the card extending benefits to me. 

4/ What about Meat? If I can get good quality chicken, prawns, fish sourced locally it'd be amazing. Even just a tie up with lucious, I'll order it from your app. 

5/ Looking forward to your inventory expanding - many minor gripes with items missing across sections.

How's Insanely Good doing?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

There was a time swiggy was known for good leadership. Where are all those good people? I see PIP, depression, harassment, layoff posts from Swiggy off late. What’s is going on?

Where are all the good leaders from Swiggy

Do you guys think PIP is a tool for layoffs ?

Swiggy

It had let go of 380 employees in January 2023 and even shut its meat marketplace in a bid to lower costs.

IPO-bound Swiggy to slash 400 jobs in second round of layoffs

Today, I received a warning email from the HR stating my performance is slow and they are going to decide on my employment.

I have joined this company very recently, as SDE 2. They are expecting me to complete a 30 day task within 10 days. I got excited and took it. I have been working my ass off, beyond the clock to achieve it. Most of it was new to me, since i don't have professional experience on this particular stack. It took me 6 days to achieve stability and structure of the application. Literally I haven't been sleeping a bit.

Now after 10 days they just shared this email. I really wanted to let this out.

Feeling shitty about performance feedback

Performance appraisal is just a yearly reminder that the employment is at their mercy. Beyond that it's has no meaning full value.  
 As a rule of thumb, one must always crib and complain at their jobs. If it takes 30days , one must say 50 days. If they ask us to complete in 10 days we must cry in front of them and shown tham that we are suffering. That's the only way to survive. Have you seen any ceo come on TV and say "life is good we are going to make a ton of money" no they always say " tough times ahead, recession time" , "perform or perish".. all the usual BS. We should follow our leaders.

I work with Swiggy and as many of you already know the culture has become extremely toxic in Swiggy. Expectations of working 12-16 hours per day, be available on weekends, play dirty politics, blame other to save yourself , get really really aggressive, all of this with a constant fear of losing your job. The leaders are saying this culture change is required to achieve high growth targets for IPO.  They say a culture like this is required to raise the bar & keep people on their toes. But looking at Byjus it appears that this may help in the short run but eventually things fall apart. Employees are human resources not machines. But these toxic leaders don’t really care, as there is always some people available to replace the previous lot who left due to the toxicity. I really hope the leadership of companies like Swiggy open their eyes & realise this before it’s too late for their business. 

And people who are considering to join Swiggy. BEWARE. This isn’t the place it used to be. People have left within 1-2 months because of this culture. And nearly EVERYONE is looking out to switch.

Do extreme toxicity & inhuman working hours actually deliver growth?

Recently been observing that a lot of people from swiggy have been moving out. Observations made over the last 6 months,

What apart from layoffs is the reason for this ?

Exodus from swiggy

Swiggy losing market share big time , it seems that they are cutting down services in many cities and delivery agents started moving zomato etc. it seems started leverage load sharing with third party agents, causing attrition in Swiggy delivery agents.

Swiggy going down

Data Scientist

Almost 50% of the org got no increments
People with "exceeds" rating got single digit increments
Only promotion cases have got early to mid double digit increments
Promotions have been significantly fewer this time, max people have been told to hold off their expectations of promotions for another year

The reasons cited were economic slowdown, other companies like Microsoft, Flipkart, swiggy, Amazon doing the same and cost cutting. I think things are getting toxic and the majority of employees have been left disappointed.

Razorpay increments - sad state

I think the current phase in my life is the lowest I am already PIPed by swiggy and I have broken up with my gf.

Feeling like my life has reached the end. Can't sleep at all specially after the break up. Now I regret for blocking her atleast I should have waited until getting into some company. But now I don't want to go to her due to some personal reasons.

It feel sucks. I am not able to focus on interview preparation. I am not in depression but my mental health is shit right now and gets headache daily.
Please help me shall I consult some doctor for this or is this okay. I don't have much friends that's why I am asking here

I genuinely need help

Sorry for posting here. Can anyone help me

Sorry to hear what you're going through. It may sound cringe but praying to god helped me during my tough times. 
 Talk to your parents and siblings if you're on good terms. If nothing helps talk to a psychologist. 
 I may get flack for saying this, but right now you have a much bigger problem to deal with, i.e. PIP. Start preparing for interviews during weekends and try to finish your office work diligently.  
  
 As for your relationship, no one here knows how serious you were about it. If both of you hadn't considered making it long term, I would say it's better to keep things the way they are right now. I had a pretty bad breakup few years back, but now when I look back, all I can do is laugh about the fact that,  I was head over heals for such a shitty person. 
  
 It's my suggestion and I might be completely wrong and being a d*ck here. You have to decide what's utmost important to you write now. 
  
 Prioritize your physical and emotional well-being, then your work, and then someone else. Wish you all the best.
