My brother was told today (22nd May) about being made redundant at HPE office in Bangalore. He hadn’t even completed even one year in HPE and has been asked to leave. That too with just has an option of 2 months’ salary. He moved over from Pune and at the time, was provided relocation allowance, but while leaving he will be on his own.
It is scandal that in India companies are allowed to make people redundant at drop of a hat and companies don't take any responsibility. They shouldn’t have recruited people when the plan was to fire them within next 10-12 months. I'm sure these redundancies would have been in pipeline for more than a year but executed after the merger of HPW and CSC.
All the people who have been through this exercise should get together and fight for better severance pay.
Good Luck to all those who have suffered.
