  Thanks #-Link-Snipped-# 😀
  Company is al-right with the funda of : Employee don't think about their situation when they leave. But there are few points which should be considered when talking about the mass lay off.
  1. What is the criteria of laying off the Employee? Company can not just close the discussion saying its performance issue. Employee should be aware of what is the reason behind this? Where does he lack? He /she should have given a fare chance to improve his/her competencies (and Why not they!!). If, someday, company does an arrangement for a 360 degree appraisal, picture would be ridiculous.
  
  2. With due respect, I want to say that, salary does matter for an Employee. We all are aware that, these IT giants are making how much money per associate. So, if someone wants to sell his/her skills at a higher price, then what is the big deal in that? Other thing, the immediate replacement issue - in IT, almost no project has a critical issue. IT pool is comprising of ample number of employees who are capable of handling any situation (It may take few more time, but it is possible). Last point is my personal experience. 😛

  Layoff-removing an employee or a group of employee due to slow down of business or that particular post is no longer needed for the company.
  
  Slow down of business, is not only depend on the performance of an employee, but also decision made at top level of management.
  
  What if IT companies have union?

  Slow down of business

  Business is not slowed down my friend. It is ultimately due to cost cutting. Nothing else.

  Definitely yes! Until the company have a valid reason to fire someone. Something quantitative. Like an employee, they will reason it with higher compensation, better profile etc., the employer needs to do the same.
