Quark is firing again

Well I just heard that Quark has started firing his employees here in India. The way they fire their hard working employees is just phenomenal. The employee is suddenly called, he is asked to leave the office premises in next 15 minutes or so. The security guard and a networking guy accompanies him/her to his desk. Networking guy locks and takes custody his/her machine. The employee collects the belongings in next 15 minutes and the the security guy makes sure that this employee is out of the office premises.

No questions, no answers, no reasons. He is given a two month salary in advance and is asked to sign a paper which says due to internal company department transfer, your professional goals will not be met so You are resigning. Isn't it incredible !!

And funny thing is some of them are top performers and have received appreciations in the near past. Quark does not acknowledge the previous performances. Cost cutting is all there on thier mind. Employees have just no idea about the criterion for firing. Quark has a reputation of being a most insecure company as far as job security is concerned. Would you like to work for such company no matter how much hefty packages they have ?

Just got a sms .. one more fired !
