Most of the employees of Infosys are facing tough situation now. They are not only worrying for low salary increment or no promotion this year, they are also worrying for high layoff rate. Any one at any time can face layoff at Infosys.

In official words, out of the total number of layoffs, Infosys claims 850 persons left on their own, while 650 were asked to go through personal improvement program, and the rest were out placed. “We don’t indiscriminately fire trainees, but have to layoff the bottom 5% of the poor performers source

One victim of Infosys layoff says at comment of this post

I was also fired from infosys on 1st of april.
Pure Pure Politics.
I had a 100 % utilization
How come a non performer have 100 utilization.
I had a clash with my PM recently before the appraisal and he has done the worst to me.As per Infosys policy the non performers would be put on a 3 month monitoring process. Where did the process go. When they say we are non performers why is the process done in a discreet manner Everything happened in just half an hour.I got a mail from the DM at 4:30 for a meeting at 5.00 pm and by 5 30 i was out of the gate.I was escorted till the gate by a guy. They did not allow me to even go to my desk separately. Such a worst behavior. (This comment is not to be taken as authentic)

This is not only the story of Infosys, many private companies are doing similar things in the name of cost cutting. So all people working in private sector, should always make ready alternate way to earn money before getting pink slip.
