My friend got laid off in India, and he got mail that his access will be for few days and then he'll be on notice period for next month. In case if he joins another company he may not recieved severance package. Is this even legal or normal practice by all companies?
What severance package are they offering?
What is the role of your friend in akamai?
Sad but true. Bonuses cut in half and now RIF
There doesn't seem to be any kind of pattern to it. People I thought would've been necessary are getting the axe
Was there ever a pattern? 😂
We should form a union
Have they announced impacted employees yet ? Or they still have to do it ?
Which region?
Usa
So just heard from one of my friends. The managers had complete hand in it. Its not random. If you werent the favourite, you have probably been a victim irrespective of what you did all these years. Sad state of affairs.
What region does your friend work in?
EMEA
US Employees were hit the hardest, well, over 50%
Well over 50% of what?
Well over 50% were us based employees. To be honest, the latest numbers I have seen are 130 or so US folks out of 230. But I don’t think that’s final.
Akamai doesn't layoff, it purges.
