The Truth Behind IT Layoffs

Corporate Carnage

Forget CHROs and L&D heads—they weren't training warriors, they were LinkedIn celebrities.

• Their KPIs? Fancy workshops, polished calendars, and feel-good PDFs.
• The result? A workforce blindsided, sold "future-proof" dreams while walking the plank.

MBA = Master of Blame Avoidance

What did the elite do when AI came knocking?

• Paraded strategy decks, ignored reality.
• Overhired post-COVID, underprepared for GenAI.
• Watched from air-conditioned ivory towers while careers were torched below.

🇺🇸 The H-1B Shell Game

Indian talent was bait for a bigger game: cheap, compliant, expendable.

• H-1B wasn’t mobility—it was containment. A legal hack to squeeze labor without long-term commitment.
• These weren’t layoffs, they were planned dumps—written into spreadsheets years ago.

Training Theater

Intel, TCS, Infosys boasted “re-skilling revolutions.” But behind the curtain:

• Training was checkbox theatre.
• Knowledge pushed ≠ capabilities gained.
• Thousands trained, yet “wrong fit” was the excuse when cuts arrived.

Time to Name the Game

This isn't “disruption.” It’s corporate gaslighting at scale.

• Leaders failed.
• Systems abused labor laws.
• “Strategic pivots” became sanitized code for betrayal.

It’s not just time to call it out—it’s time to make it viral.
