Google CEO Sundar Pichai sent an email to his employees stating that Google would lay off 12,000 employees from different branches of its company to reduce the workforce. This phase of retrenchment is going on in such a way that every day one or the other company is deciding to lay off employees. According to data, ‘3000 employees are losing their jobs every day in India as well as globally.

Who is most at risk of losing the job, know from experts

Amidst the possibility of global recession, many companies will lay off their employees. Employees working on contract are at the highest risk of losing their jobs.

why lay off

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has told the reason for the layoff of 11,000 employees in his company is to give a large number of jobs. According to experts, most of the employees used to fall sick during Corona. This should not affect the work, so many companies employed a large number of people. Apart from this, many companies also increased their digital marketing during the lockdown. Many people were kept for this also.

According to Professor Vinay, many companies hired more people than necessary due to the increasing demand for online work in lockdown. Now the market has declined, so companies are firing people to balance it. Companies are also continuously doing layoffs to reduce their expenses amidst the growing economic recession. Due to the first lockdown and working from home, there was a tremendous jump in the sales of computer and laptop segments, but now this market is going down.

global recession big reason 

Professor Vinay told that the global recession is also considered the biggest reason for the retrenchment. The Corona epidemic had destroyed the world’s economy. Now due to the Russia-Ukraine war, there have been huge ups and downs in demand and supply in the economy. This war also had a greater impact on China, Britain, America, India, and Japan.

The decline and halt in economic activities around the world is a sign of recession. But its worst effect will be seen in America and Europe. Countries like Britain can also come under its grip. However, its effect will be less visible in India. Professor Vinay told that economic recession has come four times in the whole world. For the first time, the world had to face a recession in the year 1975. After this, there was an economic recession in 1982, for the third time in 1991, and for the fourth time in 2008.
