Silent layoffs
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?
List of companies doing silent layoffs using PIP and Cultural fit issues.
Myntra Flipkart Meesho Cars24 Smallcase
What is Cultural fit?
Firing / Putting people on the PIP in the name of not being a good team player, flagging for behavioural. Basically doing mental harassment . So people quit so they don't have to give a servance package.
My previous manager tried to scare me by saying he will place me on PIP, so I opened and showed him my leetcode in same 1:1.
Fast forward 2 weeks in the next 1:1, i went with a offer in hand, but this time he didn’t try to blackmail me so I didn’t say anything and bought more time.
4 weeks later, i had 4 offers with 100% hike, with huge stock offer, needless to say I resigned and left.
They should remember that not everyone can be scared by PIP. Fuck him
Please include nykaa as well 😂
Can you please share more details? After the whole Saga of IPO and share price going down. There is no good news from Nykaa.
See. The point is they are profitable but then there is pressure of bringing in more profits & and after all the previous CEOs / CTO / CFO EXIT. The newer folks have been working and downsizing on engineers & designers. All in all the attention rate has been more then 25% and they have this culture of not listening to employees. So that is it
The funny part is that Flipkart and Myntra were recently renewed as "Great Place to Work" by external parties 😜
Everyone knows that a great place to work is an unreliable source of measuring the company and all orgs pay money to buy this shit. More PR stunt

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
