Afaik, the least performed ones in a team is laid off , also those departments who had less utilisation .

If you work in a very high performing team and u were like above average performer , chances are u had to face an unfair exit.

The layoff doesn’t seem like random , one of my close connection works here

This is bullshit. Those guys who got promoted during mid year appraisal got laid off.

This is happening parallely, directly, not as part of mass layoffs I feel.

Not too much public chatter, sense of insecurity privately.

I heard that some managers are asking teams not to talk about it on groups or unofficial WA channels.

In hand salary. It’s notice period (2 months for engineering) + 2 weeks * tenure years, with a minimum of 3 months in total. The leave encashment is based on basic pay.
