Ola Electric Silent Layoffs

A good friend of mine who was hired in Ola Electric (on campus 2022) as SDE has been put up on the performance improvement plan / PIP.

Interesting part is that half of her team was laid off and remaining ones have been put up on PIP. Those on PIP are being asked to also pay for 3 months salary along with the joining bonus.

I don't think giving back 3 months salary and joining bonus is something she should accept? Like they're anyways ruining their career by putting them on PIP in first 10 months of their start of career?

Can relate op I got laid off twice last year. Got trauma because of that 💀. More power to you

In short, tough times don’t last, tough people do.

This is genuinely concerning. I hope this gets better.
