Additionally, the development highlights Big Tech companies like Microsoft, Google, and Meta’s continual business slowdown, budget, and target revisions.

Satya Nadella, the CEO, described it as a component of his realignment. The business also revised its revenue goals. After an internal warning to staff to perform better, Google CEO Sundar Pichai recently suggested layoffs to increase efficiency by 20% at the company. Due to a decline in revenue, Meta had also slowed down its pace of investment in additional initiatives. Overall, employment has been drastically reduced at all of the Big Tech companies.

With a moderate-to-above-moderate level of hiring activity, Amazon remained an exception. Employee variable payouts, particularly for senior staff for the April-June quarter, were either delayed or partially reduced at the top three IT firms, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, and Wipro. However, despite giving raises to employees, some individuals noted that HCL Technologies had no problems with variable pay.
