New Delhi, May 23 -- So many Teams calls. So many ERGs. So many awards and such a 'Great Place to Work.' You give your sweat and blood, always exceed expectations in your appraisals. And just when you're gearing up for your next presentation and check your email, you find yourself logged out - not just from your collaboration suite but from the company.

A cold call from HR: "Your role has become redundant."

If you happen to work on-premise, you might see imposing security staff standing near your desk. You pack your bag - often checked thoroughly, surrender your laptop and badge, sign the severance papers, and all of a sudden, you are "Open to Work." Customary CBFR comments on LinkedIn only add more pain to your bruised ego.

For anyone...
