Managers having tough time to secure subordinate's job
I met one of my friends from a top MNC company that is currently undergoing significant organizational changes and layoffs. Recently, it was also in the news that the company is laying off about 20000 employees across the world. This is a huge number, and since the announcement, many people have started fearing that they might be the one. My friend is in a senior position in the company and is managing many employees under him. He mentioned that even though if someone is in proper client billing, HR takes the decision and calls out for them.
This creates huge pressure on the managers because there are several things that a manager has to do. They don't know in what evaluation they remove someone from the job, but if that happens, the manager will have to look for a replacement resource and do the KT and get them started. It can take a lot of time. There is also no guarantee that the newly hired resource would be performing well, and if that does not happen, they have to look for another resource who would be the best fit. This is a tough position for managers.
The other biggest problem for the manager is that they would have hired someone or moved someone from a different team to their project by giving lots of promises to the employee. Now, if suddenly the HR decides to remove the employee or lay off someone, it hits hard on the manager because all the promises made at the time of hiring would be broken and sometimes the employee might have several commitments in their life, and if the income suddenly stops, it becomes a very big problem.
I have seen some layoffs in corporate companies where the manager takes the employee for a tea break outside the building, and they just collect the ID card and send them home. Before our current acquisition, this has happened when there is a security issue or other critical issue with the employee. I'm able to understand such situations, but in general, I would like to see layoffs happening with prior intimation. More than securing the company, it is important to secure the family of someone, considering the fact that it can be hard if the source of income suddenly stops for someone. If that person is the only earning member of the family, it can be even tougher for them to continue.
Overall, I think the companies should work out the layoffs in a well-planned manner. Sometimes they think that giving compensation is enough, but in general, I would say a notice of 6 months or 3 months would be better for them to be prepared or look for a different job. Layoffs should not happen overnight, and it is a very bad thing. It also creates a blackmark on the company.

This right here is the problem. The skill issue is real. I have been told to hire fresher and train them. While this seems economic at first glance, the time constraint and the experience gap put the manager in a difficult spot. Plus, you have to review their work from scratch constantly, and it at times it turns out to be a headache and a reason for delay. rn facing the same nightmare at my workplace. fresher people pushing code and experienced people spending time troubleshooting. LOL!!.
20000 layoffs. Yo that's wild. Just like you said I think that's a big risk for the company and a huge strain on the manager.
But I can't help but be concerned about the people getting laid off. Because right now a country like mine even the space of a year can be too little to find a new job. I know of a family man that was laid off so suddenly from a company and people said the company should've notified him and give him time to find something to make a living of.
He stayed four years and couldn't get a job and right now I don't even know what his fate is.
But at least a chance of at least 6 months should still be given

That's evil man, but that's the sad reality. I hope, IT is seeing it's saturation, we are done with IT to a large extent. That's the reason, I recommended my son not to join a degree in CS.
Sudden layoffs have a huge impact not only on the employee's life but also on their family. Every company should give advance notice and preparation time to minimize the impact of the loss. Thank you for discussing such an important topic.
Am. Never if support of quick layoffs of workers any reasonable organizations should give the workers at least 3 to 4 months to look for another job
very challenging, as managers also depend on staff performance
I've seen a senior employee go through this when he was exploring better prospects with a rival company.
This really shows how tough it is for managers caught between company decisions and their teams. Sudden layoffs can destroy trust and morale. Companies should plan better and give employees time to prepare for such major changes or this problem will continue
20000 Workers laid off is too much, thats 20000 families made financially handicapped, I hope the layoff is called off
Sometimes, layoffs can be important but needs to be well planned to avoid issues in the company especially on the manager
Manager is kinda hard position.
Got pressed from above superior but need to understand the lower and get the pressure from below
!LOLZ !ALIVE
The competition to actually get jobs in this our contemporary age is actually getting so difficult day by day
