hello everyone welcome back once again to Career q a place to create your career so in today's video as I had already promised that I will be making videos on the regular it stuff that we usually talk about in today's video I am going to talk with you about another it thing that is currently happening in the market which we need to know and we need to make sure that how can we avoid it for ourselves the people here the it system over here and in us as well is completely it's slowed down it's paralyzed
and you know um these people are trying ways and means to cut upon whatever different ways in which you know you can reduce the costs which is why we have also recently heard about the layoffs that are coming in from Google and all the big companies the big names that we are hearing with all the layoffs happening and it is a thing to worry about I know that because by 2024 we had anticipated something really different um and you know in the on the positive side rather than the thing that we are uh in now
but uh we cannot do anything except for waiting and and wanting the time to get over uh already I know that uh it is a tough time for all the people who are in it because if you are in India or if you are on on-site or you know whatever you are somebody who wants a new job you're somebody who has already been laid off then you know things are pretty pretty difficult these days and I know that and which is why I am making this video because in this video I really want to stress
upon the two or three things that I believe might or definitely will work in this scenario because you know there is no other way and trust me on this I am not going to tell you to go and upskill yourself I know that it's all a facade people who are hired in Google they are already really skilled you know they are skilled enough to be getting hired by Google right so it's not about the skill game anymore so I am not going to talk about you know you going in upskilling and you going on a
complete different trajectory and you know if you are front- end and engineer then you learn stuffs about back end if you're developer learn stuffs about tester no I'm not going to do that because that is practically impossible and that is actually not needed because even if you do those things it's pretty much sure that if you know things are going downhill it'll go downhill either ways okay so yeah that's the topic of discussion of today's video if you're new to the channel then please subscribe and without a further Ado let's get started with the window
okay so how these people are firing let's get to know the ways in which these people are firing okay okay so there are practically two different methods uh you know which people are using to fire these days the first one of course is when you know stuffs like uh the the thing that Google has done it has really literally fired the entire uh Team including the manager including all the employees it has just fired of the entire department and this is something that is decided by the CEO now that is one thing and that is
something that you cannot avoid because if the organization does not need you you cannot do anything about it the other thing is something that you can do something about it pretty much you can do the other thing is when the employer or the HR asks your manager to reduce the team size okay so here there is a point of contact to whom you can go to whom you can talk there is a manager who is asked to reduce the team size so what do you need to do or what can you do uh before getting
hold of the tips that I am about to share I want you to know how these people are firing these days now there are some of the firings that are directly you know they might say that you know your performance is not good this that in which that can happen however there's another way in which you know the majority of especially the service based companies are laying of people in which they don't directly put you into uh you know give this firing off mail or message they first put you in a PIP plan that is
the performance Improvement plan now what happens in this pip they say that you are lagging behind in some of the tools or some technology and here in this plan you will learn about it and then you can come back and join us in the project and then uh they will next they will say that you know your performance in this is not up to the mark and you know eventually they will release you or they will just push you to put down your papers you know voluntarily so that it doesn't count as a layoff it
counts as a voluntary resignation but these are some of the ways in which these people are resigning or are firing off the employees these days so now when you are uh in a team what can you do that will increase your chances of remaining in the team and not being in any of these mess that is happening in the market so the first and very uh important thing is you need to make yourself visible there is no other way you cannot avoid confrontation you cannot avoid meet cannot avoid talking to people to teammates or uh
these things saying that you know you are introvert and you cannot talk to people or you don't like talking to people or you're not comfortable talking to people that is not which is going to work this time whatever you may be you have to be an extrovert these days and you have to be able to present yourself in the front line you know like this project will just crumble if you are not going to have me in the team that is what you have to show okay you have to show that you're an eminent part
you have to show whatever you know whatever little thing even a reply to an email will help you do that in the meetings be vocal be vocal show your face present your name present your voice and this will definitely uh give an impression that okay you are present you are involved you know stuff and that this project cannot be functioning without you okay so that is first thing that you can do and that is actually I would say one of the most important things now the second thing that you have to do is you have
to have your network now you know there can be times when you are uh supposed to fill the shoes of a fellow teammate because you know people are being reduced we all know that I've just talked about it right so people are uh being laid off they are being thrown away of the organization and it is being expected that these shoes will be filled by the people who are already existing in the organization so what does that mean it actually means that you are supposed to know about the stuff that your colleague does and even
though it is not your domain even though it's not something that you have an experience on they are expecting that if and when time comes you are able to fill in their shoes now you cannot go and upskill yourself you have your share of work to do so you cannot leave that and you know you go on to do a certain other certification because what if somebody gets you know fired from the project and you have to go and do their work that's not how things will work right so you need to have a strong
Network within your organization you know you need to know that okay this person does does this stuff this person knows about this stuff and if I need help then this person will be available with me or for me so you know you need to have that kind of network that kind of Confidant within your organization which again leads to the first point that I said you have to be extrovert enough to know and to collaborate with people they may not be from your team but they need to be from the organization and you you need
to understand that okay this is the thing that you know when when the time comes if something like this happens and you need to know about that stuff there is somebody that you can go to and and you can ask that okay how is this done can you tell me more and that person is in the position to help you you know if you'll be a complete stranger no one will come forward to help you right so that is the second thing that you have to have to do in today's uh you know field in
today's place you have to have a very very strong Network for yourself and the third thing and I would also say that this is again a an important thing is having a good Rao with your manager now how does that happen it does require you uh doing that putting that extra effort doing that extra thing but you know for survival people can do anything right so you can do this little bit I know I am the one who told you about my experience in PWC however we also need to know that the time is completely
completely different and these days it's not anymore about you know health and mental health it's solely upon survival your survival your family survival if you have if you are in that kind of position then please do not uh you know go into bad ra or go in bad means with your manager because if anything like this comes up to him he'll have this your name as the first one on the list right that okay I need to remove I need to get rid of this person you need not be on that list of names okay
so maintain a good Rao we all know that the officers have been opened up uh they are calling you in for 3 Days 4 days if you're in TCS God forbid it's 5 days all 5 days of work I know that so uh I know things are difficult and they are expecting and they are putting a lot on us but you know it is their time we cannot do anything as employees it is their time and they are uh you know allowed to go their ways and we are in the position we are not in
the position to do anything but follow their orders so you know uh if they are asking you to report for three times a day then do report if they are asking you to change your location relocate to some other city do change your location do those minor things just so that your name doesn't go up in the bad names of the team and you know try to avoid that list as much as as you can and I think that these three things will actually help you get out of this situation I know the times are
really really difficult but uh if you make some of these modifications it's not like it's unsalable you can definitely go past it and then you'll have a funny story to tell your grandchildren so yeah that's about it that's all that I have for you in today's video I hope that these insights work for you I just hope that nobody gets laid off because I know uh it's terrible to be unemployed at this time and we all know that the times really uncertain uh if there is anything else that you think might work in this situation
if there's anything that you have applied for your position saved your position at some place and you know you think that I have not listed it please put them down in the comment section so that it helps everyone if you want me to cover anything else in my videos put them down in the comment section as well I'll come again tomorrow with another new video till then stay tuned take care bye
