Pros
No pro left cause of new CEO
Cons
never thought I’d be writing something like this. After giving my heart and soul to Angel One for over 3 years — sacrificing weekends, working 12+ hours daily, skipping sleep to meet impossible deadlines — I got silently laid off. The new CEO, Ambarish Kenghe, clearly wants to play Elon Musk with his “vision,” but at what cost? Without any public announcement, around 15% of the workforce has been quietly laid off. HR is calling employees one by one, telling them either to resign or be put on a PIP and terminated. No discussion, no decency — just corporate cruelty at its peak. My manager, who should have stood by his team, is instead busy playing politics to protect his favorite — a female colleague who does barely any work. The rest of us who’ve been slogging it out are being thrown under the bus to save her. This year we got just a 5% increment, no bonus, and now this sudden layoff? Where did this “use and throw” mindset come from? One of my colleagues, a woman who dedicated 5 years of her life to this company, broke down in tears on her call with HR. She’s the sole breadwinner for her family and pleaded for at least 5 months’ severance. HR didn’t care. Just a cold “This is the decision.” Ambarish Kenghe, if by any chance you’re reading this — you’ve shattered the lives of 282 employees while your MD rides around in BMWs and Ferraris. You didn’t lay off numbers; you destroyed people’s stability, their homes, their self-respect. Joining Angel One was my biggest mistake. This company treats people like Tinder matches — swipe right when they need you, swipe left and delete when they don’t. To anyone reading this: Think ten times before trusting a company that sees loyalty as a weakness and humanity as a liability
