Sudden layoffs from jobs are tough to process and it gets worse when questions of employees remain unanswered. In one such case, an Indian employee detailed his sudden layoff from a US-based company in a Reddit post which has gone viral. According to the post, the employee was caught off guard by the termination, which took place on October 1, over a three-minute video call.
“It was literally like any other day, woke up at 8:30, logged into work at 9 and saw a calendar invite for 11. It was a mandatory meeting with our COO for all India employees. I joined it at 11, he joined at 11:01, disabled everyone’s cameras and mics, casually let us know that they had “made the difficult decision of letting most of their Indian work force go”,’ the post read. The employee clarified that the layoffs were not performance-based but part of an internal organisational restructuring.
‘No time to prepare’
Sharing the emotional impact of the layoff, the Reddit post further stated that the three-minute video call left Indian employees “shocked, stunned, frustrated, stressed”. “No prior intimation, no time to prepare. They have offered October’s salary to paid at the end of the month and any leaves would be encashed. None of it even remotely makes up for what I’m feeling right now. This is the first time I’ve been laid off and it just truly…sucks,” read the post.

Story doesn’t name the company or the people involved, therefore the conclusion is: “Fake news made up by someone with an agenda who is too lazy or stupid to do actual reporting”.
👍💯
What company ?
I want to do business with them
An H1B has 60 days to GTFO back to the shitehole.
And get rid of your American Express card.
10’s of thousands of Americans faced that fate as a result of H-1b.
Correct. More kabuki to make us think Trump’s less than anemic EO is going to stop one H1B visa.
Turnabout is fair play.
I know a guy who was replaced by H-1B workers twice, and both times he had to train his replacements. The guy, a CPA,was also let go both times. Luckily for him, he had marketable skills and experience.
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!
How does it feel?
Gunga did you pull that out of your coolie butt?
Thanks for posting this.
It happened to me.
This was never news when it happened in the other direction. Get on the Boeing my dot headed thrives. AMF
Which company? Remember this is Reddit were talking about here...
Do you think we are lying when we say Americans got laid off and replaced by Indians? You think this is all fake?
Think of how the Disney IT workers felt when they were replaced with H1Bs. They even had to train their replacements to get a severance. Despicable.
