Layoff in our company.. True??

Yesterday I noticed that everybody in office started talking too much about the layoff… Yes, this latest news has created lot of waves… People from Hyderabad unit also were buzzing me to confirm if the rumor is true in Bangalore……….

Fresher’s were comforting themselves that they will not be fired coz they are not costing much to the company :) There were seniors who were scaring the fresher’s that since they don’t have experience, they will b fired!!!
There was a question in my mind as to what they call a employee who has 1.6yrs experience, which was implying myself….Fresher or Senior??

I spoke to one of the senior who was very much tensed… She was ready to work in any technology after having 5-6 yr experience in Oracle Apps because she is on bench now!!

Later even in the company bus, everybody seemed to have the common topic to talk-“Layoffs”

After long tiring hours of work, when its time for us to take a nap in the bus, this discussion simply ruined the peace in the bus… I could see nobody dozing and strangely discussing on “what next” in case the company kicks them out…
Few people decided to write some bank exams whereas others were planning to continue their fathers business.. There were bunch of fresher’s who were planning to continue their studies and were discussing on cat exams….

After reaching home I was wondering why our CEO has decided for layoffs while the company poses to have done profit even during recession in the previous quarters.. The CEO even had plans to merge with Satyam incase Satyam agrees to do so…

Strange are the ways… So, I’m just hoping and praying that there won’t be any layoffs and the company manages to survive even in this tough time of recession. . . . . .
