Is Flipkart and Walmart same, because Walmart was at a hiring spree in the last 2 years

Thankfully, I stood my ground on hiring only when the project is finalized and not lowering my bar. Out of 30 openings I was tasked to hire, I could only hire 5. The projects got postponed and I saved 25 jobs. A little of economics knowledge goes a long way.

Flipkart would be 15000 employees? So this might be as much as 1100 people 😕

When a deep pocket like Walmart is backing Flipkart what is the need to cut down workforce?

Doesn't mean they shouldn't cut. They'll do it every opportunity they can optimise!

It is performance based Pip Amazon does this every year for 6% Not a mass layoff per se

Had heard of Flipkart planning something. Their busiest quarter is the Diwali/Christmas period, and I imagine post that is a ripe time for them to plan this…

In the article it mentions that this perf. based layoff has been happening since past 2 years. They will surely trim a lot until IPO

No but it doesn’t seem like they can continue without it. So it’s inevitable.

Navi & Myntra - layoff or mass resignation???

Happened last week.

Navi does this half-yearly if not quarterly. Supposed to be performance based but systems and checks are not in place to assure the process is unbiased.

Myntra - not an organisation which does layoffs much.

Plea...
