there has been a growing sense of job insecurity within the company due to internal politics among senior management. This environment has contributed to frequent layoffs, which are often sudden and unexpected. In a recent instance, a significant wave of layoffs occurred in India, affecting over 100 employees. Unfortunately, these decisions appeared to disregard the employees' skills, dedication, and valuable contributions to achieving the company's goals.

Here’s a more professional and structured version of your message: Layoffs have been notably common in 2021, 2023, and 2025, affecting a significant portion of the workforce. In fact, 50% of the engineering workforce faced layoffs during these periods. Upper management has demonstrated a lack of stability in their decision-making and future planning, which has contributed to uncertainty across the organization.

Just had to share this, I got a 100% hike!

I'm keeping this anonymous because I don’t want to disclose it in real life. After two years without a raise, I successfully negotiated a 100% increase at my current company. I focused on creating significant value and worked in cross-functional teams to learn as much as possible. There were times when I was overworked, but it was all worthwhile. I was confident that it was a mutually beneficial situation. My advice would be to choose your job wisely, create value in the right place, and don't be afraid to negotiate.
