"Flattening of the Org" rumor has it.....

Heard some rumors here and there. Any truth to it ?

My manager asked me to share the key works that i have done in past 6 months. Wondering why he is asking for that. Is that for mid year review or anything bad. I feel I am key member of our team, but that doesn’t matter to higher management. — read more

OCI layoffs

I haven't heard anything about layoffs, and the news usually spreads like wildfire. If it happened, then it must have been really small in scope.
