Are mass layoffs the new normal? Comment below and tell us.

[@WorId_Peace]

Mass Layoff is especially bad for India with a GDP per capita of $2,847 but not as bad for the Maldives with a GDP per capita of $17,558

[@WorId_Peace]

GDP per capita 2024 Maldives: $17,558 India: $2,847

[@WorId_Peace]

Who needs who more? Maldives: $17,558 or India: $2,847. India's annual GDP per capita is $2,847. When you minus food cost, medical bills, living expenses for your family of 6. How can they possibly even afford to go on a holiday? According to a US, UK and German report. India's hunger index went from 107 last year to 111 this year. Which is even below countries like North Korea. India is barely surviving.

[@WorId_Peace]

I'm from the UK, and the monthly cost of a single-bedroom apartment is more than the entire GDP per capita income of an Indian per year. I need at least $3,500 a month to survive. I find it incredible that Indians could survive on $2,800 a year. You can't imagine their horrific living conditions; just look at Dharavi.

[@cloroxbleach5823]

​@@WorId_Peacethe only reason the per capita income is so low is because of the huge population of India.

​​​​@@tedoneilclark4710 Americans who have a home address seldom starve because we can apply for food stamps (which *requires* a home address.) In America, no one needs to starve, except for the homeless people. Then there are charities and shelters acting as bulwarks against homelessness and starvation. (Churches help because "taking care of the poor" was a teaching from Jesus who promised the *eternal* job for Christians -- love each other.) In New York, you can move into the Roosevelt Hotel.

I'm an old guy now. I lost my job at 47: I have some advice for maybe one of you. Most of you will probably not listen to this: It was not easy to get a good job. It took 10 months. I had saved money which had saved my hide. I got a job with the US Government. Basically, nobody wanted it, but the work was steady. I worked up and made more money and stayed employed. Then I was able to retire with: SS, a pension, and a 401-type program. Some of you can do this. I got laid off or fired it was a pattern.

I am not certain of this fact. A man told me those in the IT industry will be laid off when they reach 40. He said as the IT industry grows rapidly, companies wanted new employees with innovative ideas. Keeping those above 40 is seen as a liability.

[@harjeetsinghbrar6987]

It's a sugar coated way of saying that the older employees are a burden because they are more costly for the company to afford and new employees come cheap. Think about it, companies value experience and rookies don't have that. The only reason they want rookies is to lighten up their balance sheets and make their profits look bigger and make shareholders more happy in the process.

My Big Brother always said that anyone who worked in STEM fields should accumulate a big enough nestegg built up by working 20 years and retire for good at near age 40. Yes, that's good advice. Ideas are just a cover story. Showing up with a miniskirt at the bottomline is sexy.

understand the sentiment on CEO's statement. Unfortunately American companies have too many layers of management. As an example the company i used to work with there are positions with Sr. VP and Director titles with 1 /2 reports and these guys were doing nothing significant. Managers have no idea on Employee utilization and this is the typical of American company norm. No wonder you see in America a layoff / Firing is very common. Do these happen in Europe. why not as much as in US

I don't understand why the news channel speak about Layoffs only in IT industry. There are layoffs happening in other govt and private sectors - but no one talk about it. IT is the domain that helped many people to move to a better earning and life. You cannot expect it only rise - even stock markets goes through cycle. I have been in the industry for 25 years and have seen most IT employees got opportunities even after lay off. Can you tell how many employees in entertainment, media and joournalism are having a secured job? Please leave the IT indusrty - the capable employees are always employable and they are in a more secured job than anyone else.

Great presentation on this topic. Tech may be pulling away to ai, but some jobs are still in needed positions. They might of over hired during the pandemic but a lot of people died and some are retiring and leaving positions still unfilled with no higher pay rate. Some may be pulling back, but they’re striving to keep what they have left from the pandemic and people today’s generation who don’t want to work.

The media is currently barraged with a lot of economic data right now. It takes a lot to see beyond the whole ocean of news on focus on what is important, which is that no matter how low stocks go, they always bounce back. I really ignore all the news and keep investing. I recently allocated about $121k to put in the market as we anticipate a crash. Any recommendations?

[@carssimplified2195]

There are many other interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire.

[@Pamela.jess.245]

True, I’ve been in touch with a financial analyst ever since I started my business. Knowing today's culture The challenge is knowing when to purchase or sell when investing in trending stocks, which is pretty simple. On my portfolio, which has grown over $900k in a little over a year, my adviser chooses entry and exit orders

[@Pamela.jess.245]

Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’AILEEN GERTRUDE TIPPY” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.

Watching "2024: Another Year of Mass Layoffs?" by Palki Sharma on Firstpost is like witnessing a tenant-landlord relationship in flux, where new rules are needed to protect the rights of those who call a place home. The video astutely highlights the unsettling trend of mass layoffs in the corporate world, akin to 'no-fault evictions' in the real estate realm. In the UK, recent legislation to prevent 'no fault evictions' is a step towards safeguarding tenants who've done nothing wrong. A parallel in the corporate world is long overdue. Just as a home provides stability and security, a job too is a cornerstone of an individual's life. Current laws need to evolve further to protect employees who have faithfully served their roles, only to find themselves abruptly on the street. Companies, much like seasoned landlords, should consider playing the long game. Instead of opting for the knee-jerk reaction of layoffs at the slightest economic tremor, they need to think like wise investors who understand the value of nurturing and retaining their assets over time. In real estate, it's about maintaining a property to ensure long-term gains; in business, it's about valuing human capital. Moreover, as AI begins to disrupt the corporate landscape, it's a clarion call for employees to reassess their career paths. It's like knowing a storm is coming and reinforcing your house in preparation. Employees need to equip themselves with new skills and adaptability, foreseeing the AI headwinds that are rapidly reshaping the job market. Palki Sharma's insightful commentary on this pressing issue is commendable. Her points resonate deeply, serving as a reminder that in our relentless pursuit of profitability, we must not lose sight of our basic human empathy and responsibility. In conclusion, as we brace for another year potentially marked by layoffs, it's time for both companies and employees to recalibrate their strategies. For companies, it's about viewing employees not as disposable assets but as integral parts of their long-term success. For individuals, it's about staying agile and prepared for the evolving demands of the AI era. Together, we can strive for a future where profitability and humanity walk hand in hand.

[@PremKumar-vc3ws]

Uncertainty is way of life... financial management is crucial... better not to be entrapped in long term commitment such as home loan, credit card swipe left n right. As long as money earned in employment, save it in gold or FD in bank and try to create second income, if job lost, one can survive with alternative income. There is no earth for careless and ignorant people.

[@spg6651]

In 2004 to 2010 -- Mass hiring took place -- In one year they hired 10000 people or more due to TIME and Material ( T &M) model where in more people means more business .. every employee time sheet is Billed to the client - This is called Liner growth -- Then came FIXED BID projects where in client is not billed based on time but outcome .. This led to company reducing head count to improve profitability as revenue will remain as it is since it is fixed bid contract -- They call it COST TAKE OUT or Efficiency improvement -- This is not new at all

Live alone, live peacefully! Never marry someone and make them suffer along with kids without any facilities. You should understand that you’re not there to feed a dog or cattle, Remember your wife and kids should have a good life style and all the basic needs along with education like sports, swimming, gymnastics, musicals, etc. here in India some schools don’t even have proper library facilities forget about activities.

I worked for Jack Welch when I was quite young. I can't say anything positive about him. He had a temper and most were scared of him. Relationship with him wasn't based on mutual respect. Your worth was based on what value he saw in you at that very moment. I lasted 10 years but saw a lot of turnover. However, you get to the point where you're making too much and you know you're on your way out. He liked to cut the people who were 2 standard deviations from the mean, income wise. Buy companies, suck the lifeblood out of them then spin them off. So many COE's today who can't drive revenue use this model. I won't even go into some of the accounting we did to meet the numbers. It was absolutely crazy. Glad I'm retired!

I am an Indian working in the US. In my company we didn't have mass layoff but few firings here and there in 2023. We still hired in 2023 in my larger team. In 2024, there will not be any hiring, promotions are minimal, and seems like every VP has been given a target to fire certain number from their vertical. One of the member of my team (at a lead level) was emailed directly by the VP the night before to show up in their office first thing in the morning. They told the lead, you are laid off. Turn in laptop, badge, everything, and immediately leave. Then a security guard followed the person carrying a box of their stuff all the way out in front of everyone, takes them down the elevator, and ensures that they have left the building physically. It feels like you are being arrested and being carried off in disgrace. The lead had performance issues but in good times you could carry some slack. Now with tightening budget, you are fired.

mass layoff is happening due to the mass hiring that took place during covid. Companies did over anticipation of their business and crazy valuations especially startups. When the free flow of money got stopped and books demanded profits, easier way was to cut jobs and terms it as organization restructuring. People with skills would always be in demand.
