After the fall down of Lehman Brothers, Companies started firing the employees.
People who were on Bench or who were the lowest performers were the first to be fired.

People who were on projects were saved but had to work extra in the name of recession .So it was the kind of situation where companies were kind of blackmailing.
Some companies which were hiring at that time were giving lower or same packages and were mostly startups.I knew some people who lost their jobs were unemployed for 6 months or so .
In 2009 Again Hiring started, and things became normal

Only safe companies at that time were Infosys and TCS.

I started my career in 2007, so had seen all these.

Startups work in recession too and better than bigger companies. Because, you can work on projects in low cost .

If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???

Not sure what's going on in the name of BGV these days.
I mean companies ask for payslips, relieving letter and docs before rolling out the offer.
After that also, they are checking addresses ,calling references, sometimes asking again for documents, sometimes even bank statement.
Seriously I don't believe that a professional would be required to do this much anywhere outside India.
Gives me a really weird feeling.
Moreover its not just 1 company so many are having such scrutiny. Anyone else feels the same ?

Why do companies are firing and hiring at the same time ?
I have seen few IT product companies like Amazon firing people and I have also seen openings at their job portals.

So instead of firing so many talented people why they don't just move them to whatever open positions they have ?
I know they can't move everyone but they can do so for atleast some of the people they have decided to fire even after being good performers ...

Is it lack of efforts from their recruitment team side?
