MessageBird aka Brid layoff started

Got to know through my network that Brainly india has asked the entire team from their MD to all junior folks to go. Reason - sudden change in strategy.. they didn’t let the product even launch.. the team was in full swing prepping.. impacted folks 30+ or around that number.. within 6 months of hiring everyone.. while in the interviews they promised 5 years runway.. long term strategy for india.. ceo didn’t even apologise.. they come hire Indians and let go at the drop of a hat.. the employment contract said that either party have to give 3 months notice to resign.. so that’s what they did they are giving 3 months pay not in one go but month on month and after that nothing. No severance pay, no bonus paid to eligible employees, no help in finding jobs , no mental health support, medical finishes in 3 months.. in this time when hiring is on global freeze they have treated Indians like puppets come hire and fire when you want, they have money in bank account a runway for 18-24 months.. still they couldn’t hold on to india team.. heartless way of dealing with junior folks how will we find jobs

All teams are affected. Emails are being sent out by HRs for 1:1. Around 400 people are affected throughout tech department and R&D department.

Reason - the team wants to accelerate timeline to profitability To those affected really sorry this community is here for you!

Everyone is informed today about 80% tmrw morning. Joined week back. Please refer if possible. I can vouch for quality of my work. Looking for SDE/SE role. I can share further details.

Meesho will be firing 251 employees this week. I have many batchmates in this org and have heard nothing but good about this company. Sad to see this economy claiming another victim in the form of Meesho.

There was some call around 9 AM today, some folks are laid off. Didn't know the % yet.

Last night many people got notified; 10th June is the LWD in India ! Did you got impacted? This layoff is presented what happened 2.5 months back in MTV!
