At the same time, Amazon India has laid off 900 employees. Apart from this, Meta and Microsoft have also cut jobs.
Why are layoffs happening in the IT sector?
Most tech companies have cited the economic slowdown behind this layoff and people have been removed to reduce expenses. On the other hand, the words of the fired employees tell some other reason for this.
In some recent reports, ex-employees of Meta have cited overhiring as the reason behind these layoffs. According to him, the company hired many people only so that they do not go to any other company. Not only this, Meta had no work for these people. The company paid salaries to the employees without working for several months and then later fired them.
Pay attention to these things before joining the job
If you want to avoid retrenchment like those working in Meta or other big companies, then there is a need to learn from these cases.
Before joining any company, do check its Layoff background. The company which can eat people’s jobs once, will not hesitate to do so for the second time as well. Apart from this, read the policies and terms and conditions of the companies properly.
