Prolly too many meetings on CEOs calendar? Like my prev company’s ceo used to keep his calendar public (knowingly or unknowingly)

Software Developer

Too many shifts in strategy. Increase in gossip 🥲

Product Owner

In most companies middle management does not know anything until the very last moment. The decision is usually driven by CEO/CFO/COO together

Analyst

Does such grapevine flow to employees from top management?

What are some early signs of a layoff happening at the company?- Grapevine

Welcome to Fintech India's Private Community

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

Although you become the face of layoffs and you have to abide by what's instructed, how do you personally feel after a event like mass layoff?

What steps do you take to avoid or minimise the impact in such cases?

HRs how do you feel after layoffs?

Is this big layoff or only HR team has been impacted?
If anyone can comment.

How the HRs react if you tell them you were laid off, please share your experience?

Also, what other reason we can give for looking out for change in less than 5 months?

Do you folks tell about layoff to HRs

1-on-1s getting scheduled by end of day, 3-month severance, just announced.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hey Grapevine folks,

Can we please share any info on companies that are laying off or have laid off in recent times (2-3 months)?

We can use this format:

<company name> (<location>) 
- <number of employees laid off>
- <reasons for layoffs like low runway>
- <first round or follow-up round of layoffs>

This would be helpful for folks who are currently in the market to understand the layoff scenario.

Week back there were posts by linkedin engineers that linkedin is hiring SDEs and anyone can as referral and today they laid off 700 people.

Got a job but now got another offer at 80% hike. What’s the best excuse to leave the job?

Best excuse to leave job within a month?

Don't give an excuse, have an honest conversation. Believe it or not, Honesty is the policy, even in these times

In your experience, what are some early signs that help detect incoming layoffs at a startup?

 It could be company-wide, team specific or in a particular function only.

Layoffs at startups: Early signs or warning signals

Hiring freeze, decreased marketing spend, founding team retreating away from day to day activities and meetings

1. Most lowest, low to Mid ratings (identified by your manager)

2. High TC — if you are in the same level for a long time (> 3 years) and your TC is reaching the top of that band.

3. High initial stock grant (possible by great offer negotiation skills) and you are approximately in the  2nd or 3rd year (when you got the most pay)

4. those who get retention offer in the past and your TC is L + 1 but not performing at L+1. Time to cut the cost.

5. Coasters: if your manager carefully Evalates your criticality and concluded you are easily replaceable

6. People who consistently complaining their teams are too busy too much pressure too bad WLB are in danger too.

How to minimize your chance of being laid off

1. Tell your manager you don’t need any tc increase，or tc is not your career goal

2 tell your manager you are willing to work hard and have no complaints. If you took 2 ppl work, no one will choose to let you go!

How to identify your Layoff probability

asked and got 37% increment. 0% chance of layoff. work only 6hrs a day. 
  
 have some self respect. I'd rather be laid off than do these shitty points. gross.

Engineering Manager

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 😔

Which company do you work in and what is the situation of secret layoff (suddenly team members slack/teams account getting deactivated) or PIP at your company?

Layoff!

Strategy & Operations

Cleared all the rounds and even sent the HR the documents they asked for. They also said I would have to relocate to Mumbai. However it's been more than a week and they haven't rolled out an offer letter. HR said that since they invested so heavily in IPL, they are trying to reassess their budget for this quarter, that's why it's taking so long.

Should I be worried? I have a feeling that I even if I get an offer they might try to lowball me/lay off later.

Is Upstox running out of funds?

Does anyone know something about how Dealshare is doing, the folk founders and culture there etc? Am interviewing there and would like to know more

Any thoughts on Dealshare?

Seeing lot of layoffs posts. I would recommend grapevine to change their app name to layoff-vine

Assistant Manager

Hi , this post is intended to be a disclaimer to anyone who is planning to join Yubi. A lot of things are happening here that show some signs of an impending layoff

1) Several senior folks in tech and product have quit. Also there is no replacement hiring planned for them. Several projects are also getting shelved as a result.

2) there were several open roles a few weeks back and almost all of them are on hold as of now across all depts( tech , business , ops)

3) rampant cost cutting. The lunch options have been reduced to just 1 dal , 1 veg , rice and chapati.  Snacks have been removed too.


Because of several folks quitting in less than 6 months and no replacement hiring , load has increased tremendously on existing members who are themselves trying to leave. 

People have serious doubts on whether any hike or bonus will be given or not this year.

Rampant negativity at Yubi

List of companies doing silent layoffs

The head of HR mistakenly sent a "layoff script email meant for managers" to everyone. 
So brace yourself, official firing is going to happen at Glance now...
Silent firing anyways has been happening for a month or so.
