Everytime I have a fear in my mind that Cognizant will fire me. I am in project. So what should I do😶 everytime I see a post regarding layoffs, I get scared. I don't know how people work in such companies for 8-10 years without any fear.

I work in Cognizant. Cognizant bills 40$ per hour from client for me. I get not even 20% of that as my salary. Now in this situation why do you think you should fear as long as you are in a project?? Yes, if you are on bench for a long time then you can be worried

Cognizant had restructuring history since last 5 years.. mass removal due to non-performance happened in June 2020. If you are very scared then it's upto you to pursue your career outside Cognizant..

There is no recession for managers, directors.. AVP, VP .. only mid-level employees are targeted ... which happened in the past

For startup founders/people with a successful side project: How did you get the idea/inspiration for your business?
