Around 80 Indian customer-service employees at an unnamed US-based financial firm were reportedly informed of their termination during a five-minute Google Meet, according to a Reddit post. The employee said workers, scheduled for a 6:30 pm shift, were initially asked to work from home for “operational reasons” before receiving a meeting invitation around 9:30 pm. The post claimed the entire Indian customer-service team was dismissed, potentially affecting 80 families. The employee later attributed the decision to the company’s concerns about the Indian team’s output. However, the claims, including the number of employees affected and the reason for the layoffs, have not been independently verified. (PC: News18)
