While on one hand companies like Amazon and Accenture are engaged in mass-layoff, on the other hand the country’s biggest e-commerce company has set a big example in front of the whole world. Yes, Walmart-backed Flipkart has flatly refused to do mass layoff. Speaking to Livemint, the company’s Chief People Officer Krishna Raghavan said that the company has no intention of laying off employees as it does not believe in bulk hiring and then reducing the workforce.
no question of retrenchment
Company’s CPO Krishna Raghavan said that we do recruitment with utmost responsibility. Therefore, there is no question of massive layoffs in Flipkart. He said that we do not hire thousands of people in bulk. After that, they resort to other tactics to get them out. It has been further said in the report that Flipkart is not going to hike in its senior management. Also, it is not going to affect anyone’s job. The reason for this is that last year there was a hike and promotion with the stock options buyback scheme.
