Silent layoff? Why the IT companies don't want the world to know

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

Hearing of silent layoffs at Make my Trip, Flipkart and so many other companies. What are some of the ways in which these tech cos are silently firing people so they can avoid a bad headline?

Also, please reach out to this guy if your org is hiring for Java/Spring Boot Developer

Didn't know that we can really file a case against the firm if it silently lays off employees.

Hey guys I am working in Paytm but some of the reason I m lay off by the company and HR said do your resign and not conforming it on mail what should I do ?? Pls help

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.

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.

list the company only if you reliably know.
