I was previously working at ZS. Heard a few colleagues were laid off today. Is this something that has happened across the board in the firm ?

It's not a layoff, it's a regular process after the review cycles. People are put on pip, some are directly laid off.

I too feel bad for everyone who is going through this. I wish times would not have been this tough.

For the folks who are having hard time in ZS , try and see if ZS is really the place you want to be. Analyze your strengths and play on your strengths rather than being coached on your weakness.

It's not gossip mongering. A friend has been impacted. And i just want to know whether it's a few colleagues or a mass layoff. Maybe you should ignore such posts if they infuriate you to this level.

If those who are on the left side of the performance scale, they were asked to go! This is across teams and spaces and i think this is still not over. I think this is done to prevent a real layoff and good performers. Very sad thing anyways!

Even if they were, doesn't impact you. So better to live your own life and stay out of it instead of gossip mongering

I am laid off.

Ohh. Hope you find a great opportunity soon.

Getting anxious now. Can someone explain what’s happening?

ZS is laying off certain number of employees, a lot of them have got the mail already.

It is a mass layoff.

I left ZS in July and I had a very good experience. Every firm has their pros and cons and it depends what you choose to focus on. My juniors wished me on New Year and I knew I had contributed my share.

It’s not a bad place to be but does demand a lot of effort. It’s also not the best place to be depending on your priorities.

Just keep calm and move ahead in you life - career/hobby /family whatever may be your preference.

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?
