A Gurugram-based backend developer has shared on Reddit how he was laid off just five months after joining a startup, without prior warning or performance feedback. He said HR described the move as a business decision but failed to explain what went wrong, while his manager and team lead were reportedly unaware of the decision. The sudden job loss, coming after a US visa rejection, added to his stress, though the techie expressed confidence about finding a better role.
