An employee who says they were laid off after about 4.5 years of service quickly finds a new remote role, according to reports. The person was reportedly earning around Rs 70,000 per month before the job loss. Shortly after being fired, they reportedly secure employment with a monthly salary of Rs 1.58 lakh, nearly doubling their prior pay. The employee describes being “shocked” by the pay increase, even as they expressed surprise at the circumstances surrounding their separation from the earlier job. The accounts focus on the timeline: the individual is laid off from their previous position and, soon afterward, starts a remote job with higher compensation. No additional details are provided in the reports about the employer’s reasons for the termination, the new employer’s identity, or whether the new role is for the same industry or function. The reports primarily highlight the salary jump and the speed with which the laid-off worker transitions to the new job.
