HCL has laid off in India the US and Australia and will continue to do so. Despite management’s claims that there have been no layoffs, there have been an awfullot. These are not related to job peformance as management says. These layoffs are to reduce costs and salaries. Unfortunately,HCL management is continuing their longstanding policies of lying to their employees,the media and even to themselves. HCL overpaid for Axon and that is their focus now. “Employee first” means “Employees out the door first”

How do you think you can show your resentment? This is what happens to many, one fine day they go to office as usual they are stopped right in front of the door and strip off thier ids and tokens if any and ask them to leave home, other belongings in your work place shall be sent to thier address. Stern and pathetic isn’t it.?

right said man! the senior management is never made to suffer except for the normal employees. People never stop filling their stomachs with more and more and even more…I just dont understand why people in our country have the habit of just taking any shit that comes their way. All other countries (esp in latin america)protest so much about the lay offs but we just dont…

True! companies are still posting so much of profits and still resort to such inhumane steps like firing out its employees. they can as well reduce the salaries than firing them out. like they say its not just an employee who goes jobless its his entire family…
