In today’s era, what we are praising by calling it ‘progress’ and ‘future of technology’, its real value is now slowly coming to light. A harsh truth hidden behind the glittering corporate world has suddenly come in front of everyone. A decision that gave sleepless nights to thousands of households and forced millions of people to wonder who was paying the real price of this rapid development. The giant tech company ‘Oracle’ in one stroke showed the exit to about 30,000 of its employees across the world. But this is not just the news of job loss, it is the story of the breaking of the trust that the employees had built with years of hard work, loyalty and expectations.

Imagine, you wake up in the morning and there is an email on your phone. Without any meeting, without talking to your boss, in just one click you are told that your years of service are now over.

When father battling cancer got ‘termination letter’
A story on social media has torn everyone’s heart. A man told that his father, who had given his life to the same company and the same boss for 20 years, was fired from his job at a time when he was fighting a deadly disease like cancer. In return for 20 years of loyalty, he was not even called. Today they have neither job, nor insurance, nor medical support.
The biggest blow fell on India
The worst impact of this retrenchment has been on India. According to reports, around 12,000 Indian professionals have become unemployed. There is silence in tech hubs like Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune, ironically the company’s profit (net income) has increased by 95%, yet in the process of making budget for AI projects like ‘Stargate’, 30,000 living lives were removed considering them as ‘burden’.
