There was a thread about some layoffs in Pune here, and now it's gone. Is this site administrated?

Lost a number of Senior Test Engineers this week - they basically said there skill sets were outdated

We were hired by a VP who had suddenly quit 3 days after our project start. A few weeks after, the Ptoduct Owner left TD. Newly inexperienced director, with zero knowledge about Agile was pushed by the Sr. VP to take over the responsibility of the... — read more 

He posted some documents a while back on the 2015 thread that I hadn't seen before, and he's said some other things that make him look like an insider. Does anyone know who this person is? Some of those documents never made it to rank and file... — read more

I can't publish this internally, no one would listen and if someone did i would probably get fired. With multiple mortgages and an alimony i can't afford that. So i am putting this here hopefully for people to read and discuss/comment. Question: What... — read more 

The fact that they have not spoken to the remaining employees or media throughout this RIF speaks volumes. Why these guys get to keep their jobs after obviously being asleep at the wheel for many years is beyond reason. Shareholders need to hold the... — read more 

I was a planner at TD and it was March of 2014 that I said "if they start cutting into headcount, we aren't coming back from it." By August of 2015, they had laid off over 100 people in CS and the salesforce. I constantly got inquiries from upper... — read more

Has anyone heard of any solid intel on potential buyers? No general speculation but legit talks...

Aside from exec salaries these guys are our biggest expense/burden. They run expense accounts. Why do they need to travel from coast to coast for a short 1 hour meeting that has no outcome. Reviewing GL and working on year end activities... — read more

This is a repost, it was on one of the theads, listed as a reply: Here is a theory on selling TD. The CEO to be has left, perhaps he didn't want to sell the business, perhaps he was too aggressive, we will probably never know and is replaced by an... — read more
