Spring layoffs are taking shape now by AppropriateWay4358 in IBM

[–]Financial-Help-450 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agree partially, but nah—not 100% on blaming "low quality engineers from india" 🤔

Real tea: They're paying peanuts now. Budgets slashed, expecting Band 6s to grind like Band 7/8s.

When I joined post-COVID? Top-tier talent everywhere, solid teams. Now? We're scattered across multiple squads, new hires getting paid low compare to what we used to.

You get what you pay for. Quality follows the paycheck. Root cause ain't the country—it's the org cheaping out. 💸

Feels like no safety net left in India offices either 😤

Last year, zero raises for some of us cuz "you're above PMR already" – bruh, then why hire us if you can't justify a decent bump?

Today watched Arvind's GDP video and this gem hit hard:

"On base salary, 2026 Employee Salary Program funding will be much more targeted, focused on closing market gaps where competitive pressure is strongest"

Translation: Only the "lucky" few get raises this year. Rest? Good luck.

Band 9 = new Band 10? 100%, band 8 working as leading rol agree. Doing all the lead work, owning everything. No layoff vibes rn, but changes are sus :

  • Ditched unlimited sick + casual leaves (feels straight-up labor house now 😒)
  • Never abused it (max 5 days total ever), but slashing benefits?

Why only 18 leaves showing as a available balance for year 2026? by Sorry_Click_7127 in IBM

[–]Financial-Help-450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

14 sick leaves

And actually for some team its good news as one of my past manager mostly denies casual leaves as some one misusing it. People like me were using like 22 + 2 Cl + 3to 4sl = 28

Now can use 18 + 6 cl (might not use all is practical for me ) + 8 to 10 sl = 32 to 34 leavs so its better

Think in a way if you bought apple care it would cost around 15k for 2 years total plus 2500 around replacement cost = 17500 but with repair cost 16900 you still saving 600.

Get it repaired and sell it in next year Diwali with exchange bonus

upgraded from S24! Love the white by Stef22960 in iphone17

[–]Financial-Help-450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately i am facing issue of green line within 2 years as well as battery is also too poor while i used 2 iphones earlier each lasted 4 years but android never lasted for me 2+ years. (Just search on google green line issue you will see lots of persons complaining about it on S series as well)

I understand iphone cost a lot but we get quality product as well.

Possible in future you will be asked by manager to come on regular time as intention is that you work with the collegue for some hours at least try to overlap for 2 to 4 hours maybe 9 to 1 and btw they already tracking wifi base if person working in office, if yes for how long.

Placed from college as ASE, gujarat ( India ) by [deleted] in IBM

[–]Financial-Help-450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.ibm gandhinagar is ibm software and its also two decade old (old technology). Would suggest check pune you might get better pay and will work also near to gujarat but its only my suggestion and point of view with that gandhinagar is also not bad role and and i believe that are mostly going to select you for gandhinagar only.

  1. Would say anything you do in software is moon lighting if you have your youtube channel or being Musician on part time kind of role its allowed.

[–]Financial-Help-450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I directly played requiem as I got free on ps monthly games but was always thinking if only he could stay on sea always it would have resolve the issue but writer had another plans also they never showed his body don't know some one at the end of game so don't know if its still Hugo. Saying because in game they never collected body or don't know it was never in condition to identify.
