it has happened...when we had just about believed the likes of Infy and TATA cannot do it...came a blow to prove us wrong.
Infosys did it too...laid off 2100 employees, yes they say poor performance, but we read the hidden message here 'poor economy'
Are the companies laying off to be blamed...? i am not sure. All i can say is, if the company laying off has enuff money to last this turbulence, not one employee should be touched...coz it is these very employees who helped them grow, and when the ship is rocking just a bit, you ask them to get off...? the point is, many companies are using recession as an excuse to cut cost and better the margins.
I say, if survival is an issue then ...maybe, else there is no way you should do it ... no other reason is justified...
wonder if there can be a committee to audit this kinda stuff !!!

New age Schindlers for the new age Holocaust
Holocaust = Layoff’s
Schindlers = Managers
In past few months I have seen and heard many horrid stories of layoff’s, the way it is done, methods used, reasons quoted, terms it is done on…
In the midst of this bloodbath we fail to notice the hidden Schindlers, who try saving as many jobs as they can, or jobs of specific few…what ever is in their power, they help or try to...
I have also seen few cases where one has volunteered to be laid off in turn to save someone’s else’s job who is in need…HATS OFF…
Every day I admire a manager who makes an endless attempt to save one more casualty...and I see such examples more than you may imagine.
This post of mine is dedicated to all those Schindlers who are fighting with all their might...to save just one more soul if they can !!!
Holocaust did not last for ever …nor will this…so lets keep our strength together and try to be a Schindler in what ever way we can… after all, after decades we still remember Schindler, as much as we do the said genocide.
