Stealth layoffs at CWT confirmed.
Is it SAFE joining Wipro as technical lead (B3) with 37LPA? Knowing that package is pretty high as compared to collogues in same band. HR is not ready to give project manager(C1) position.
Appreciate your suggestions/input.
Would there be any scope of increment going forward?

Unlikely
If you are laid off (downsized) probably, if you are fired (for cause), then I would doubt it.
Yup . Cathy is generous
Laid off =\= getting fired
No severance if you're fired with cause
Fired for cause either requires a policy violation (expensing dinners on Thursday nights at home) or long term non performance against a performance improvement plan. Anything else pretty is grey and the firm will avoid lawsuits by giving severance.
Correct Pdubs1
I bet they do. Otherwise, opening itself up for lawsuits.
So they do pay you? Mixed feedback here.
If you are fired for performance I don't think so. If you are laid off due to low utilization then yes. You should get severance.
If being fired for performance coincides with layoffs and downsizing, you should get severance and can potentially even sue for wrongful dismissal. Companies give different reasons to different employees, often randomly, to get around WARN laws (google it) .
What's the severance package
You get paid to leave if your malingering existence matters. Does it?
How much severance is considered reasonable?
