India now being a player in the global market is going to have to grow up.
These seems to be this very socialist attitude with regard to jobs and other entitlements. I am not trying to minimize the agony of a job loss (been there) but people have to understand that a company cannot continue to employ people if it feels it is affecting its ability to survive and maintain profitability. To say, I just took out a loan to buy a house, sisters marriage, sole breadwinnner etc etc and so the company should not lay me off is quite an approach. Then if they won't take me back let me visit the local mentally disturbed Hindu radical leader for help. If that does not work then the Govt has to step it and take care of everything. Especially since I don't want to be laid off because of the holidays.
What Jet did from a
PR standpoint was piss poor. They should have stopped hiring months ago. Or else they could have easily laid off 100 folks every month, and it would not have caused such a stir. Guess what, they probably will get rid of most of these folks who think they have their jobs back. How? any minor problem (tie crooked, hair out of place) and out they go.
Lets see a Goyal, Gupta or Agarwal who isn't about economics? That's a new one.
