Chandigarh, February 28

Four hundred and seventeen tech firms globally have laid off over 1.2 lakh employees in the last two month.

The access denied to their work for no reason given has left them numb. Like other techies, this year too was perhaps the worst year for Harsh Vijayvargiya.

He was laid off by Google India recently. He took to LinkedIn and wrote, “Saturday Morning I skipped a heartbeat when I got a pop-up email notification on my phone stating email was from Google Operations Center. I have been affected by a layoff – workforce reduction at Google Operations Center. One of the most valuable esteemed companies. I was a proud #Googler and will always be…I had a very first question why me though I was star performer for month still why me? And I see there was no answer at all!”

Sharing how the layoff has affected him, he wrote, “My salary is half for two months! My financial plans are completely ruined! This took place on Saturday and it took me two days to get the strength to jot this down and now I have to fight back for survival.”
