Is it Justified
For years I have been listening that tech companies are most cash rich and then I hear most lay off happens in IT companies. They say they value their employees, what a hipocracy! Ah...
I have been through ups and downs in IT, but these layoffs seem crazy. There is just no pattern to it, more like everyone is firing let me fire.
Honestly I feel its high time Tech companies, Startups take a hard look at their business and revenue model. Most just seem to be in a herd mentality. Every one is mass hiring, let me also mass hire. Every one is giving exorbitant salaries, let me also give.
Its become more a cycle now, hire in large numbers, find there is no work to give, no revenue to sustain, and so mass fire again. This just cant be going on.
Who makes mistakes that results in revenue loss or crunch?
Top management
Who gets fired ?
Every one except the ones who are responsible.
Dont fucking give me the reasoning that you are doing this for efficiency and streamlining.
No you are just doing it to protect your own arse, while making scapegoats of others.
So the Musks, Pichais, Zuckerbergs happily take fat bonuses, while drafting teary regret letters for firing. And they are supposed to be our role models to look up to?
Enough is enough IT industry can't forever be running in this same mode. These hire and fire cycles are getting weary nowadays.
Blame the FED and 0% interest rate era, you could borrow forever and expand infinitely.
Music stopped, party is over, most of the companies are having a hangover rn, some are puking and the worst thing is no more free alcohol
While I don’t support what’s happening in the industry, there are definitely layers to it
Structurally startups are funded to grow at supernormal rates, and as a function of it hiring will always be sudden and can later lead to over capacity. Founders hire for the positive future they imagine, and sometimes that falls short.
That said, in India it’s clearly extremely irresponsible and has crossed the above limits.
When I join a startup, I know that I don’t have the most secure job, but I also want empathetic and sensible leadership.
The cycle is indeed frustrating. But how is it possible for a company to not hire according to it?
If salaries are increasing because the supply of engineers is low, no company can pretend to live like it's 2005 and pay engineers just 2 LPA.
If you’re looking for a short answer, it comes from the CFOs. Now you know

The economy went down? Yes. Did it affect all kinds of companies? Yes
Did the banks fire any one? No Did the Railways fire anyone? No Did the media agencies fire anyone? No
Did Large Tech companies and IT fire people? Absolute...
Not the way it works. It's a function of how fast an industry grows -> The faster it is, the more you have to hire i...
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.
Like whats happening man!!! Is the company dumb or what?
(1) Reduce cost of human capital -> (2) Post better EBITDA numbers in earnings calls -> (3) Get big bonuses and sell ...
Pathetic. How many times these so called another layoff? This is pure scam. Such kind of CEOs and CTOs have no rig...
E+D getting hit heavily time after time. I expect Azure will also get hit this month as well.
