Hi all

I joined KPMG India 45 days back in SAP domain.
Technically, I am bench and filling time timesheets with bench code since day1.

As we all heard, recession may come in time ahead, am I vulnerable to layoffs?
I am quite worried with this thought.

Can anyone put some light on this?


Thanks

WFH/Layoff/Security
Hi,
CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.
Is it worth looking for another opportunity?
I am afraid after seeing layoffs news of EPAM, Publicis Sapient & most of the other companies calling employees in the office.
I love my WFH in PwC India & base location of Kolkata. & the best thing is stability in PwC India, they never lay off!!

Heard BCG laid off quite a few people this summer. Is this true?

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.

Would you work at your company again if you were laid off?

Is there a risk of accepting a role with Upstart currently? I seen a 7% layoff recently for hourly employees but I would be salaried. I am well aware it’s a risk in tech overall right now but curious on thoughts thanks!

I am tagged to resources pool in Coforge from last 2 months i.e. I am in bench.
Any idea what's the notice period on bench?

Anyone think Salesforce will have layoffs in the near future?

Hi guys, it's been 4 weeks since i joined GDS , I was assigned a POC task, in which I worked for a few days but now its on hold.

Thanks

Curious questions! What are the things offered by companies after laying off their employees? Do they pay 3 months severance? Or not?

There have been surprising news with layoffs lately. Has anyone here been affected by the layoffs at Twitter or META?

Tax Senior here. I’m well liked around the office, I put in the hours and work hard, I haven’t had any dumpster fire projects, but I am a mediocre performer compared to my peers (not as strong project management, communication, not as confident). I just got told they’re firing me. Should I expect severance? Have other people been fired for similar? What did you do with your career?

I have joined TCS as graduate trainee. I have been trained with Automation anywhere tool.i. am on bench.
I have knowledge of Html ,css, little bit of javascript and Java. What should I do or learn to grow in my tech career.

The partner in charge of my office had a nearly hour long conversation Tuesday with our new hire, behind closed doors. I didn’t hear yelling, but the bits I heard weren’t good. Will he be fired?

All these layoffs reminding me that loyalty is dead

What is the job security for people on bench in HCS? I have joined HCS almost a month and a half and yet to be assigned to a project. I am worried if it would negatively affect my position in HCS. Kindly help with your answers.

When you say your salary jumped __x, how is that exactly calculated?

Mine was $16k (minimum wage before joining corporate) > $40k (contractor total before getting laid off) > $150k (current FT)?

Is that a 260% jump or 2.6x from $16k to $40k?
And a 375% jump or 3.75x from $40k to $150k?

Or do I calculate it by hourly rate?
