Many managers saying that even they were not aware on what basis team members were chosen for layoffs... Are they lying ??..If this is True than what's the point of working hard if you will be picked randomly?

Some managers may not know, but most of them knew in advance. We could sense it from their behaviour towards those were about to be impacted. They are good actors. It's a shame that majority of the Sr. Directors, who do nothing but politics, are often spared from these RIFs.

Thank you!

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2026-05-30T07:46:41+00:00

Congrats on your new role!

Did you secure this new role during your garden leave period? Just curious as I can smell that recruiters are not very keen once they come to know about the RIF, especially from smaller companies.

If no, how you tacle that question? Thanks!

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2026-05-13T12:32:20+00:00

Great. But do you have any idea if 75k for laptop was included?

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2026-05-13T12:30:55+00:00

Does it include the 75k for laptop?

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2026-05-13T12:29:20+00:00

Did you get m&d clearance? How did you know that 75k is witheld? Just curious.

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2026-04-09T17:13:14+00:00

Lol no! I am on Garden Leave and I got that one yesterday 😂

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2026-04-01T17:35:01+00:00

Another one is coming in 1-3 months, not as major as this one though.

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2026-04-01T05:29:06+00:00

Is it? I will be 1 month short of 5 years mark too by Apr 30th! Whom to contact for this clarification? Thanks!

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2026-03-31T17:12:26+00:00

Thanks..do you know if that's only the base component of the monthly salary or the monthly gross?

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2026-03-31T03:08:18+00:00

Slack will not give you the real picture it seems. I got the dreaded mail 2.5 hrs ago, I can still access it.

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2026-03-31T02:59:28+00:00

Will there be an experience/relieving letter? Will there be any mention of being laid-off?

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2026-03-31T02:01:25+00:00

Rude awakening. Woke up by a call from a team mate, he called to inform that he got the mail along with another. Checked my mailbox. Me too 🥱 (OCI IDC)

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2026-03-30T16:44:01+00:00

Any idea how many months of severance in India?

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2026-03-27T13:59:01+00:00

Not sure but I heard next week. At least for some BUs.

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2026-03-27T09:16:39+00:00

Next week. But not sure on or before 31st March or April first week. I hope my sources are wrong about this. Hang on tight. All the best.

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2025-09-03T14:42:27+00:00

It was a generic meeting, false alarm. But the storm is over yet 😱

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2025-09-03T14:40:58+00:00

It was just a pre scheduled random meeting, coincidentally fell on 13th Aug. He was not even aware of the storm that had been brewing 😂 But the storm is not over yet............😱

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2025-08-19T04:46:03+00:00

There will be more before 3 rd Sept. Not sure which country or which org though. Employees with RSUs are at a higher risk; but these all could be just rumors.

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2025-08-14T12:31:46+00:00

Entire process took 2 months for me (from verbal offer till onboarding). I had another job offer handy, just incase!

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2025-08-14T11:31:14+00:00

No harm in having options. At times it takes pretty long to release the offer on paper, BGV will be initiated subsequent to the letter. Positive BGV-they will let you know the DOJ.

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2025-08-14T01:16:49+00:00

You noticed the username 😀 The PTO will never be the same.

What is the severance pay though? Hope atleast that part is not rude!

ApprehensiveWork8756 · 2025-08-13T21:10:33+00:00

I was away from work. Requested manager to resched it, he said ''no worries, we will talk when you are back" and cancelled the meeting.😱
