In India, Job security is one of major factor every employee considers as high priority. I have seen during Covid pandemic company has fired many people due to more days in bench or some other reasons. I am not sure what happened in recent years - lot of good working people left the organization.

...you will come across all IT companies. Just learn to survive, upskill and excel. Do not depend on your job or salary, have multiple streams of income without moonlighting and switch jobs whenever you get a good opportunity. Work for your own success not for the company.
