US Firm Allegedly Fires Entire Indian Team Over 5-Minute Call: ‘80 Employees, All Gone’

The US bank allegedly asked employees to work from home over operational issues, and later in the evening, asked the employees to join a call where they were laid off

What began as an ordinary shift for 80 employees ended with a five-minute call that changed everything. An Indian customer service team working for a US financial firm was allegedly told during their shift that their jobs were being terminated, leaving employees shocked and worried about what comes next. This comes amid large-scale layoffs by renowned companies like Oracle and Adidas.

An employee at the organisation shared their ordeal on Reddit. In the post titled “Laid off over a Google Meet", the individual, who claimed to be part of the customer support team working for a US bank, said that they were asked to join a late-evening call on Google Meet where they were informed that the entire Indian customer service team’s jobs had been terminated.
