Layoffs at Walmart corporate 😬😬
Hi All,
I joined Tech Mahindra for 5 days only and didn't find suitable timing for my project and emailed resignation mail to manager and HR. After that HR asked me to resign over portal but at the same time blocked my portal. After requesting many times they didn't unblock my portal and pretended like they want to unblock but there is some issue going on and marked my profile absconded. I have cleared fnf but they are not providing reliving letter but added pf amount also. What to do?

my agency laid off as many/more than my clients... so tomato/tomatoe in my mind (also thinking about going back client side after this)
A lot of industries are doing very well right now, just be strategic about where you go. Obviously going client side to the travel industry after this is over, for instance, maybe wouldn’t be wise, but overall I think there is a lot more job security in house, and I’m pretty sure that’s my next move.
As a gross generalization, the job market is garbage at the moment. There are still jobs - some places are still hiring, for sure - but it's obviously greatly reduced. Clients are taking a lot of work in-house so within the marketing world agencies are being hit harder than clients... but the client-side marketing team is a small part of a bigger whole so that's no guarantee of security.
I'd say keep looking BUT consider your stability at your current agency vs what it might be as the new guy in the new company, do your research on the client-side industry and what its prospects are at the moment, whether that company has laid people off recently etc. etc. Might also want to negotiate for some kind of increased pay-out if they do have to let you go, recognizing that you're taking a risk in moving at this point in time.
