I recently joined TCS but I was moved into very different project which was told during hiring. Also they told me for joining incentive but later after 65 days of joining they didn't give saying your business aproval got rejected. I really want to be with TCS but due to project dissatisfaction, I am looking for different job. I am not sure if I can leave the organisation soo soon(4 months) and it should not effect my carrier.

Unless the 40-year veteran has some major performance or attitude problems, I’m laying off the new hire. Experience matters.
I'm sure the correct corporate answer would be to lay off the veteran with all the tribal knowledge, because the organization will get more work out of the younger person. But I would resist that and keep the older person. I know that in America of 2024 loyalty is an outmoded concept, but I'll stick with it.
Unless the brand new employee is a rockstar (rare, but I have seen it happen), I would keep the veteran with experience. Those people are usually worth their weight in gold.
Honestly, I would ignore how long either of them had been with the company entirely and instead only choose to focus on what each one of them brings to the table, and which has the most potential to be more productive and beneficial to the company.

Most likely the new guy. Being the new guy and there is talk of my company doing layoffs, I'm a little nervous.
Depends
Rising Star
For me, it would depend on how much value they hold now and in the future. Are they helpful? Are they eager to learn? Do they meld well with the team? I've worked with 40+ year employees who are amazing, helpful, and a valuable asset. I've also worked with 40+ year employees who contribute very little. The answer is not always straightforward.
